Creative Zen Hybrid SXFI

These headphones are good, not excellent, not stellar, nor are they poor or fair. For their price, I'd say they're definitely worth it if you're primarily going to be watching movies, as the SXFI tech for cinematic content is pretty impressive in my opinion. Now, don't expect studio-quality audio or the experience of $500+ dedicated 'theater' headphones, and the ANC and transparency modes perform a little worse than what you'd get from competitors in the same price bracket. However, I truly believe Creative has one of the better spatial audio technologies with SXFI. While I typically dislike spatial audio for music, I found these "tolerable" in that regard, which is actually a compliment coming from me!So, for my specific use case (movies), they perform enjoyably well. I use them via Bluetooth and haven't experienced any major noticeable lag, so latency is good. Plus, they're comfortable enough to wear for a full-length film without any discomfort. I avoid wearing over-ear headphones for activities that might make me sweat, so I can't really speak to their performance during more active use.

Good sound

Wow as i was expecting. Clean clear soud as is..i realy enjoy it .

I'm a fan of these over all but my ears don't like them with my glasses on.The sound right out of the box was a little muddy to me but the Creative app does a pretty amazing job clearing things up. The 'Music' and 'WarFrame' presets are my favorite but you do have the option to customize the EQ yourself entirely as well. I think ANC is on par with the price, they're no Bose but at a quarter of the price of the Ultra's I don't think anyone would expect them to be.SXFI is... interesting. The wide soundstage is nice but like a lof of built in surround sound effect it does add a little more reverb that I enjoy when listening to music but it can add some fun to a movie when used for that purpose. The low latency mode does a solid job if you have a device that compliments that feature and I love that it can be enabled easily with the button controls.I think those are all the bullet points, I'd give these cans a 5th star if the cushions were thicker but between the performance, price and long battery life it's hard to go wrong with these.

Pros:Accurate sound signatureSpatial audio is really coolCons:It is uncomfortableThe app is super slow

Super xfi sounds great. Impressive for Bluetooth.

Good ANC headphones.
