HOLOGRAPHIC AUDIO — UNIQUE TO YOU, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU.

Super X-Fi captures the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in a professional studio, and recreates the same expansive experience — with the same original depth, detail, realism, and immersiveness — in your headphones.

Each of us hears the world differently — our unique head and ear shapes affects how we perceive sound. Super X-Fi personalizes the headphone audio experience based on how you hear sound to give you the most optimized and realistic listening experience.

This is done by simply taking three photos of your face and ears with your phone.

Venture Beat

The technology is impossible to miss. It’s not subtle like the jump from 1080p to 4K. It makes audio sound more natural and more like it’s in the world with you.

PC PRO

It’s like sitting in a room with a high quality surround sound system: watching movies on the train will never be the same. I got highly accurate left/right and front/back definition of sound sources in a coherent and believable fashion. From this view, SXFI is a hit.

It's an amazing headphone DAC!! I love the tailoring the sound done through the app with your physical ear characteristics along with being able to pick your headphones from a long list of headphones to help with the contouring the sound exactly to the headphones you are wearing! Great everything!! Great work Creative!
