This is the Creative Zen Air SXFI and its name is a mouthful. What it means is that it’s Creative’s light buds series, and they come with Creative’s take on spatial audio – SXFI.
The Zen Air comes with three sizes of silicone tips, a nice carrying pouch, and a USB-A to USB-C cable.
So what is SXFI? It’s short for Super X-Fi technology, which Creative says recreates a multi-speaker system’s depth, detail, and soundstage by using computational audio. You can download the SXFI app to create a spatial audio profile specifically for yourself and then use it through the Creative App.
The case
The Creative Zen Air SXFI supports Bluetooth 5.3 and is fully featured. You get active noise cancellation, an ambient mode, 10mm Neodymium drivers, and triple mics. The buds are also IPX5 rated to withstand low-pressure water, so you should be fine in rain and you shouldn’t worry about sweat during a workout.
Finally, you get a healthy 39 hours of battery life with the case, and multipoint connection with two devices – that’s a top-notch feature to have in the office!
That’s all the time we have with the €79.99 Creative Zen Air SXFI for now. Keep an eye on our homepage for more!
