Admittedly, its implementation of Atmos doesn’t make the soundbar a like-for-like replacement of full surround sound systems, but for a single soundbar and subwoofer it works fine. Speaking of which, the SXFI Carrier makes up for its underwhelming, cost-inducing headphones trick by simply being a good soundbar.

It is an improvement on the average pair of standard Bluetooth headphones, in the rare instances where using a pair of headphones instead of your new £999 soundbar makes sense, but as far as home cinema is concerned I don’t think SXFI will ever be the game-changer that Atmos was. The digital surround sound was convincing enough, and the soundstage was appropriately wide, but the SXFI Theater couldn’t pump out enough bass for the cinema-like quality that Creative promises. What’s more, after all that complexity, the effect of SXFI was merely decent.

Atmos much better, especially in Superwide mode.

Creative SXFI Carrier review: Sound quality Creative has since been in touch to explain there's an alternative method (see the "Setting up SXFI Theater" on the Creative site) that doesn't require a laptop, but this wasn't made clear in the printed instructions. I could then transfer the profile saved on my phone to the dongle, which after a few minutes would be ready to remove from my laptop and get slapped into the SXFI Carrier’s USB port instead.Ĭustomized surround sound was never going to be plug-and-play but I can’t say I’ve ever used a soundbar that requires two additional devices, not counting the headphones or the dongle, to set up its headline feature. Then, back on my phone, I had to perform a wireless setup process through the app to connect my phone to the dongle (which is still connected to my laptop at this point). However, to apply my newly created profile to the headphones, I was then directed to get my laptop and plug in the SXFI Theater’s USB dongle. Fair enough, that’s no different to how Sony 360 Reality Audio works.

Because the entire system is based around personalizing sound output to the shape of your ears, I first had to download the mobile app and use my phone camera to take photos of my ears.

The SXFI Carrier is no different, and it didn’t take long to get the wireless subwoofer paired either.Ĭonfiguring SXFI headphones can be more involved, as I found when attempting to pair the SXFI Carrier with the SXFI Theater wireless headphones. Having an eARC port will always make the physical part of soundbar setup trivially easy, as long as you have an HDMI ARC or eARC port on your TV: one cable connecting the two and you’re done.

SXFI setup much more complicated and requires multiple devices.

The lack of satellite speakers means this isn’t “true” surround sound, but as we’ve seen from numerous standalone Atmos bars, sometimes the effect is pretty convincing. This is a fully-fledged Dolby Atmos soundbar, complete with upwards-firing speakers to bounce sound off your ceiling and create that extra sense of 3D height. Should you really need to buy additional peripherals to use a feature that the original product literally has in its name?įortunately, there is another, likely more familiar way to get pseudo-surround sound from the SXFI Carrier. You'll need to buy these separately, which to me seems odd. This is where you can plug in a dongle to connect your SXFI headphones, though if you were hoping your $999 would cover a pair, you’ll be disappointed.Ĭreative says that SXFI will work to an extent on any headphones, but to get the best results you'll need a pair of its own SXFI-branded models. It seems like only the lucky Singapore has the honor of an initial release.Įxtra flexibility comes from the 3.5mm aux input, a USB-C input and the dedicated SXFI out USB port. those living in the latter can check the Creative U.K. I’m told it will cost $999 when it eventually launches in the U.S. The SXFI Carrier isn’t actually out yet, so visiting Creative will only let you register interest.

On a big TV speaker that might sound like more of a fun extra than an integral feature, but as our full Creative SXFI Carrier review shows, this soundbar has a lot to offer even if you never touch SXFI. It then acts as the source - or indeed, a carrier - for the signal that enables the surround sound format on the headphones. Rather, the Creative SXFI is designed to pair with a set of SXFI-enabled headphones, like the Creative SXFI Theater or SXFI Gamer.
