#GAMER HEADSET ON HEAD DRIVERS#

If you’re looking to plug them into a PS4 or Xbox controller be assured that there are fewer better choices in terms of audio quality. There’s a rewardingly wide soundstage, and the top end cuts through while the bass rumbles beneath.

Plugged in via 3.5mm with no additional internal processing, the 50mm drivers perform wonders delivering audio to you, no matter the source material. They look and feel fantastic, but what about the main thing you want them to do? At the most basic level the SXFI Gamer is a fantastic sounding headset. You just won’t forget you’re wearing them. That’s offset by the excellent level of comfort that Creative have built into them though, with the weight distributed evenly across your head and ears. In the hand, there’s a pleasing amount of heft to the SXFI Gamer, and at 320g, they are heavier than some of the other headsets in this class. Like hoverboards on water, it only works when you have power, so if you’re rocking the 3.5mm connection you’ll have to make peace with the darkness enveloping your head, but if you’ve gone for a flavour of USB, whether via PC, Mac, PS4 or Switch, then you can make a start on your Tron cosplay in style.

The thing is, the SXFI Gamer looks pretty damn cool when it’s all lit up, with each earpiece featuring a clock-like wheel that can shine with pretty much any colour the human mind can think of. The way PC rigs are these days, you could probably live without yet another light source, and generally speaking I’ll play around with a headset’s different colours before turning the whole thing off. The luminescent signal that you, and your headset, are ostensibly for G4MeRs.
