Overview
Introducing the ultimate Hybrid Headphone Holography with SXFI AIR GAMER—a versatile wired gaming headset with Bluetooth® 4.2—that gives you the freedom to plug into any compatible device of your choice or connect wirelessly to enjoy personalized Super X-Fi Headphone Holography audio!
SXFI AIR GAMER debuts our latest audio innovation—the GamerChat feature—to deliver Super X-Fi's holographic audio effects for your game over USB and mobile chat over Bluetooth so you can answer a call mid-game on the same headset, or even chat with teammates on platforms that don't usually offer voice chat, like Nintendo Switch.
For FPS gamers, turn on the SXFI BATTLE Mode to hear your opponents' movements and location with impeccable accuracy for that winning edge! It also has a playtime of up to 11 hours, and comes with both the discreet NanoBoom mic and the pro-grade CommanderMic with inPerson® Microphone Technology. This nifty gaming headset lets you enjoy the best of both worlds and experience an unbelievable level of realism in your headphones that sounds as good as the real thing.
“Once you get hooked on Super X-Fi Battle Mode, it will be a nightmare to switch back to a gaming headset that doesn't offer this feature. You've been warned.”
Super X-Fi Technology
Critically-acclaimed Mind-blowing Technology
Accumulating a total of 23 “Best of CES” awards over 2 years (2019 and 2020), Super X-Fi is our critically-acclaimed technology set to transform your listening experience. Super X-Fi delivers high-definition holographic audio as though there is a set of high-end multi-speaker setup within your headphones.
Plus, Super X-Fi generates a custom sound profile based on your head and ear anthropometry, so the audio you get is specially optimized just for you.
Personalize Your Headphone Audio Experience
Each of us hears the world differently—our unique head and ear shapes affect how we perceive sound. Super X-Fi uses computational audio to personalize the headphone 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.
SXFI APP
Personalize your Super X-Fi profile through an advanced Head and Ear-Mapping process.

Gaming
Forget The Real World
Ever thought you could immerse yourself in the gameplay and forget the real world exists? Now it's possible. The high-quality high-performance drivers accompanied with Super X-Fi provide you with the perfect blend of cinematic effects and precise acoustic details. With SXFI AIR GAMER, feel the chest-pounding impact of each explosion on the battlefield, experience the deep visceral bass that gets your adrenaline rushing. You'll be able to hear much more details with the expanded soundstage of Super X-Fi headphone holography.
Super X-Fi recreates 7.1 holographic audio like in real life to be as good as the actual cinema. Beyond the cinema, Super X-Fi further guarantees that you'd be in the audio sweet spot all the time. The holographic audio makes movies sound natural so you can enjoy for long hours without fatigue.
SHINE ON THE BATTLEFIELD
There's no need to hide from your enemies anymore—whether it's footsteps or the faintest sound of them reloading their guns, you know exactly where they are. With a sound profile optimized to deliver even the slightest acoustic detail with impeccable accuracy, you can take your enemies down before they realize it.
SXFI BATTLE Mode is a brand new Super X-Fi audio mode that offers the best audio projection and directionality you can get in headphones. Gain an extra edge on top of the hyper-realistic audio you get from Super X-Fi, and hear each and every detail with stunning precision. Expect to hear audio cues with a new level of clarity and depth that pinpoints your enemies' locations as well as their distance from you to an unprecedented level of accuracy.
“This thing almost feels like cheating. Battle Mode is tuned specifically for first-person shooters...You'll regularly hear your enemies earlier than you otherwise would, which essentially gives you a competitive edge.”
LEVEL UP YOUR COMMUNICATION
GAMERCHAT
Teamwork makes the dream work, right? But what if you can't communicate because the platform that you are gaming on doesn't allow for that option? This is where SXFI AIR GAMER's GamerChat comes in. Especially on gaming devices like Nintendo Switch, you can enjoy Super X-Fi Headphone Holography via USB on both handheld or dock modes, and connect wirelessly to your mobile phone's chat app (e.g Discord) over Bluetooth—simultaneously on the SXFI AIR GAMER. While connected, you can also quickly pick up incoming calls without having to remove your headset.
And we're not just stopping there—with GamerChat, you get to preserve the audio quality of 7.1 holographic audio immersion without losing acoustic details. At the same time, the audio sources are precisely positioned and supercharged with the Super X-Fi Headphone Holography for the best cinematic effects. The spatialized effect neutralizes headphone fatigue that usually plagues long gaming sessions to improve your overall gameplay altogether. Simply switch to GamerChat mode via the Source button located on the headset itself to enjoy this feature!

Command The Team To Victory
COMMANDERMIC WITH INPERSON® MIC TECHNOLOGY
To command with gusto and lead the team to victory, you'll need a good microphone. The CommanderMic delivers outstanding clarity comparable to many professional microphones through its unique acoustic design and integrated pop filter. This is further elevated with our SXFI inPerson® Microphone Technology that boosts its capabilities by effectively distinguishing human voice and ambient noise, and focusing on suppressing noise, thus enhancing audible speech. With CommanderMic, you can speak with complete confidence and be heard clearly and accurately by the team.
NanoBoom Mic
Running a quick errand outside and need a more discreet microphone?
The SXFI AIR GAMER also features a detachable NanoBoom microphone that is specially tuned to reproduce impressively natural vocals and will not get in your way.
LET NOTHING STOP YOU
Meticulously crafted and engineered, the cable is made of Kevlar-reinforced copper to give it strength without adding bulkiness. Wrapped in an aluminium and copper shield for durability, and finally in rubber braid to achieve maximum flexibility and reduction in noise. The cable is also capable of managing high bandwidth and driving the headset to its maximum audio potential, bringing your gaming experience to the next level.

Summary
REVIEWS
Pocket-lint
The Creative SXFI Air Gamer sounds great for gaming, music and movie viewing. It's also rich-sounding and wonderfully capable in terms of spatial audio too. Sadly it's missing the true wireless option that many gamers would appreciate, but otherwise it certainly does tick a lot of boxes. Perhaps most importantly is that it's comfortable to wear for hours on end. As such, it's a worthy purchase for a very fair price - and certainly a headset we'd recommend.

But the SXFI Air Gamer is one headset to rule them all and one you can enjoy while gaming and disconnect to take your tunes on the road. That flexibility will be worth the price premium for many of us.
4.5/5 Stars
Global Techradar
The Creative SXFI Air Gamer is packed with features, is compatible with every device you can throw at it, and its 50mm drivers deliver some seriously good sound. However, it isn’t without its problems that unfortunately marr what could have been a nearly perfect gaming headset. While the Holography-powered surround sound isn’t entirely bad, it’s annoying to set up and tinker around with. For $150 though, we can hardly think of a better gaming headset, despite the issues.
