The effect is still dependent on many variables
Which leads to subjective experiences
No native iOS support will hurt market penetration
The list of certified headphones remains short
Audio with spatial mixing accounted for already can sound unpleasan

Abstract: $160 U.S.These new full size over-ear headphones from the creative people at Creative Labs are different, really different. Standard Bluetooth wireless audio works as expected, delivering very good sound across all genres of music. An enhanced Bluetooth...
Super X-Fi audio technology built in, Solid build and plenty of features, Can be used with a wide variety of devices
A bit heavy and not enough padding, Ho-hum sound quality
Despite its shortcomings, for just $10 more than the SXFI Amp itself the SXFI Air headphones can actually be viewed as a tremendous deal. It's a great way to get the Super X-Fi technology in your ears if you don't already have a ton of money invested in n...

Great sound for the price, Comfy to wear, Loads of features in the headset, Interesting "holography" tech,
App is complicated to use, Bulky, Bluetooth is flaky, Not as fine-tuned for games as rivals
A versatile and accomplished headset, the SXFI Air is a great buy for anyone looking to play games, watch movies, and binge TV with great, affordable, but not-quite-top-end audio...
Four ways to listen to media, Natural, 3D sound, Replaceable ear pads, Virtual assistant access, microSD supports MP3, WMA, WAV, and FLAC files
SBC only, No folding hinges

Unique sound presentation, Impressive number of inputs, Comfortable
Bulky design, Uninspiring sound with Super X-Fi disabled, Setup requires a smartphone
No doubt about it, Creative's Super X-Fi processing is something special. As to whether these headphones are worth £150, that's up to you. If you're looking for general-purpose stereo performance, there are far better options out there, such as the fun-so...
Versatile, Holographic audio is interesting, Wide soundstage, Big and powerful sound over a wired connection
Sound lacks detail in Super X-FI mode, 10 hours' battery life, Lengthy setup
Verdict While the Super X-FI holographic audio is interesting technology, and the SXFI Airs make a good case for it, the results don't quite meet up to Creative's aspirations for it. Nonetheless, it works well in some contexts, offering an immersive perfo...
