Sound Quality

As mentioned earlier, this little ampliifer is Creative's breakthrough in portable audio. Using the SXFI App available for download via the App & Play Store, the app takes 3 photos of your facial features. One for the left ear, one for the front of the face and the last for the right ear. This technology then translates this data to cater the personalised sound profile for your immerse listening experience. Sound quality using the included Aurvana SE headphones, the highs, mids and bass all performed excellent and blew my mind. Bass is strong and pronounced while keeping it tight and not bleed into the mids. The mids are pure and clear in detail. Lastly, highs are bright and forward but never ear-piercing or too bright sounding. The soundstage is excellent; distinguishing stereo, 5.1 or 7,1 channels were easy and sound could be heard in all directions very clearly. The instrument separation was also well laid out.
