So it was nice that it doesn’t take much effort to take them off or put them on. The ear cups are easily removable with a twist, and if it’s anything like my other leatherette headphones and living room couch, it’s going to need replacing in the future. The design of the SFXI Gamer made it comfortable for long periods of usage and I didn’t feel any weird pressure points that would become annoying when using it. All the controls and buttons are easy to reach and they were all responsive to the touch, for the most part.Įach ear cup has a plush leatherette on them that allows it to sit soft and cool around your ear. The connection for the removable CommanderMic, USB-C connector, and line in is also housed in this area as well. There are buttons to adjust the lighting, mute the microphone, cycle through SXFI modes, and a volume dial on the left ear cup. The left ear cup is the holder of all the buttons and connection ports. The right ear cup is devoid of anything other than a cover with a color LED circle that shines in a subtle glow that’s not distracting to those who look at you.

I’d like to have some sort of foam to make it just a little bit more comfortable to wear, but it’s not like I had too much trouble wearing the SXFI Gamer for a few hours per session. If I have one criticism it’s that there’s not enough padding on the underside of the headband. The metal band on each side has numbered notches that help you reference where the ear cups have been extended and a solid slightly padded top piece rests on top of your head. It has large over-the-ear leatherette cups and a metal band that attaches the two 50 MM neodymium drivers. The SXFI Gamer is a USB-C headset that’s similar in design to their Sound BlasterX H6.

So before we get into the main feature of the SXFI Gamer, let’s go over the design. This isn’t the first set of headphones that Creative has released with Super X-Fi technology, but it is the first one geared towards gamers.

It’s an incredible piece of tech that can really enhance your listening experience.

Super X-Fi is Creative’s awesome technology that makes movies, music, and now games sound like they are coming through multiple speakers when using your headphones.
