SXFI App: Magic of Super X-Fi

Creative Technology Ltd

About this app

Imagine capturing the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in a professional studio, and recreating the same expansive experience - with the original depth, detail, realism, and immersiveness – in your headphones. Welcome to the magic of Super X-Fi with SXFI App!

Super X-Fi technology works by mapping the head and ear, and transforming audio based on those features, for the individual. It allows you to experience audio as if it’s coming from outside the headphones, and the headphones seemingly disappear!

Leveraging on leading-edge precision technology that maps the distinct acoustics of an audio system projecting sound to the human ear in three-dimensional space, the SXFI App utilizes Super X-Fi technology to deliver a holographic audio experience that intelligently translates that complex information into an identical breath-taking listening experience for the headphones.

In addition, everybody hears sound differently in the real world, depending on the shape of one's ears and structure of the head. The Super X-Fi technology further uses Artificial Intelligence to predict how an individual hears sound based on the map of the individual's head and ear, then utilizes computational audio to transform and custom tailor the audio to each individual, so that it sounds perfect to each and every one, and like what they hear in the real world.

Key Features:

* Built-in Super X-Fi technology lets you magically experience audio as if it’s coming from outside your headphones.

* Easy-to-use smart device camera-enabled head mapping that captures your unique head and ear features for a tailor-made audio profile--get the most natural headphone listening experience!

* Supports playback of local music files stored in your device.

* 10-band Equalizer for further audio customization.

Ratings and reviews

Sounds rich and powerful with the Amp device, most suitable for multi-channel audio such as movies. Not so great with just the app. For stereo music, it gives an expansion effect that sounds strange at first, but it made me realised why I usually turn the volume down as music sounds too close for comfort. With this stereo expansion, I don't feel so claustrophobic. Nice improvement for everyday music. Hope there's a version for Bluetooth earphones so that it's less cumbersome.

Weird at first when you've been so used to listening to music "normally". It takes a little while to adjust to listening to the music "outside" of your head, and if you start off with Lady Gaga, the difference is almost painful (EQ settings are essential for the adjustment). But after getting used to it, Norah Jones sounds like night and day between turning the amp on and off. There's depth to her voice that you've never heard before. Vocals are still weird, but I think it'll get better soon.

I have been using this with the Super X-Fi amp for over a year, bought shortly after launch and with a pair of Creative Aurvana Trio a while after using the bundled headphones. Used it when it was Gen 1, and then after the sound profile was upgraded to Gen 2. Not an audiophile, but there is a huge difference when the effects are switched on. It doesn't work on everything, and needs a bit of adjustment. HUGE improvement on streaming media especially videos, really immerses you. Amazing tech!
