Disappointed again.

I don't like the creative time. Not used to. But they continue to promise and underestimate. Customers get tired of being misled. This new SXFI software sounds very neat. Exactly what I've been chasing for years. Surround sound through headphones. Sound makes up 75% of the theater experience. But I have to say that SXFI is another over hype and underperform. Good for gaming, NOT for headphone surround sound when watching movies, TV, music. I never learned my lesson I guess. Reviews are different from reviewers who want to see their ads. Not so much for the end user. I even called the company and spoke to the support team just to learn more about this new technology. I took a bite and bought a product they thought would work best for my home theater surround sound goals through headphones. Very lazy.

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Legacy model
