Multi-Channel Surround Sound
Super X-Fi Headphone Holography
Super X-Fi recreates the experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in your headphones. You'll be able to hear audio cues and immersive ambient effects without missing other details such as spoken dialogue in shows and movies. Experience a natural and lifelike soundstage akin to those found in movie theaters. Once set up, you can toggle Super X-Fi using the SXFI button located on the device.
Sound Blaster Surround Virtualization
Optimized algorithms intelligently identify and enhance the spatial information of incoming audio for a more immersive auditory experience.
Dolby Digital Live
Dolby Digital Live is a feature on the Sound Blaster X4 for Windows users that provides encoding of any audio sources to multi-channel surround sound in real time, all through a single optical cable solution for decoding in a home theater system.
Gaming
SXFI Battle Mode
SCFI Battle Mode is a sound mode that helps you hear your surroundings in games. Hear not only the directionality of game sounds, but their relative distance as well, helping you pinpoint your enemies' location for a more immersive experience and a leg up in competitive video games.
Scout Mode
Scout Mode helps to make subtle sounds in games more pronounced, such as reloads and footsteps, with expertly tuned equalizer settings.
SmartComms Kit
VoiceDetect
When activated, VoiceDetect automatically mutes your microphone when you're not speaking, and unmutes when you are. Free up your hands and mind when on that next brainstorming session or work meeting to focus on what matters.
NoiseClean
NoiceClean removes unwanted noise from both ends of a conference call in real time. It can suppress static background noise from other users in your voice call while retaining vocals and spoken dialog. It also ensures others on the call don't hear any unwanted background noise from your end.
CrystalVoice Technology
CrystalVoice's Acoustic Echo Cancellation removes unwanted echoes that loop in your call. You can also activate Smart Volume, which automatically adjusts the volume of your voice to maintain a consistent level throughout the conversation, no matter the way your microphone is angled. The Microphone Equalizer can also reduce the harshness or increase mids for vocal clarity so that you sound clearer to others in your call.
Customization
Download the Creative App to personalize and tweak customizable settings of your devices and software. You can also download the Super X-Fi app to make a profile and enjoy the Headphone Holography experience.
