CREATIVE HAS always been a solid competitor in the digital entertainment sector, offering products for a wide range of audiences. Having spent a long time in the audio market, the company certainly claims a lot with its SXFI Gamer headset. It says, for gaming, it sounds like you’ve been dropped into a battlefield, for music it sounds like you’re at a live concert, and movies sound like you’re in a theater (remember those?). These are bold statements, considering the price of this headset alone sits more toward the budget end of the spectrum. Are Creative’s statements backed up, or are they just lures to pull in new buyers?
From the price point, we weren’t expecting premium materials, but the quality isn’t bad by any stretch. Although it can feel a little light, creaky, and plasticky, the comfort is great for long stretches of gaming. There is little stress on the head, but more padding on the headband would be a nice addition. The cups are very well cushioned and do a good job of surrounding your ears without creating a lot of pressure. The headset has a sleek matte black finish, which is always going to be a timeless look. Of course, more metals and premium materials are always appreciated, but it's a comfy pair of cans for the price.
