Gordon II know what's in this box and I've no idea well let's open it up and
thus find a prize box it's a surprise box for Gordon it's not a surprise for
me don't worry this is way better than the Star Trek the motion picture all
even saying oh this is creative super XY air the the headset that has the super
XY technology built-in it's Bluetooth we've seen it before all right show you
the box cuz people want to see that you got a box it looks like a clamshell
there okay this person's having a lot of foam an this person is enjoying some
high quality audio is there like a photo where he's actually wearing it or did
they just put oh shut that on yeah everywhere it's like a Photoshop job
actually yeah so there's actually touch on the end so people don't know you can
change volume and cue by you know wiping your hand on the outside there's also a
microphone a button for power I guess and if I remember isn't there a small
micro SD slot uh I wouldn't I think so yeah underneath so yeah why don't we
pull it out of the box oh look they got the they got the Apple and they got the
Google Play now yeah so like the like the actual super XY dongle that we've
reviewed before you have to hook it up to your smartphone and go through the
set of process of scanning your ears and your face and that's how creative uses
or that's how creative comes up with the special sauce to map out how sound can
accurately be placed read me first for iOS users oh yeah why didn't you buy
Android yeah iOS does not support it super well but it it they have figured
out a way to okay black version to make it work I
think it looks really good in white but this probably holds up better for head
grease so creative has made this headphone before correct and but now it
this version has the super x5 built into it so you don't need the dongle it's
Bluetooth you don't need to worry about cables but it's interesting cuz you're
you're still stringing it from your phone you're still screeching from your
phone as well it doesn't have the well yeah so we have a microSD slot and I
think it'll even play FLAC files yes so you can load up your very large SD card
microSD card play directly off of it I'm not sure how the interface works you
have your super x5 button because if you've read our review yeah kind of like
this button here super XY is works for a lot of things and there's some things
it's just you want to turn it off because it doesn't quite do it the job
is there noise-canceling got your power noise cancelling there's a looks like a
small inset LED and huh does have analog so I'm guessing you can use this oh yeah
comes with an analog cable or is that like microphones right yeah the
microphones right there and then USB cable to charge it it is USB see how so
I guess you get yeah you see USB C port yeah and really probably three options
right Bluetooth direct from local storage and from the analog input well
actually for options because as I'm reading on the back of the box here this
will plug into a PC oh and be used just like the the dongle oh that's kind of
cool so yeah oh so you can actually use it as
USB audio Wow huh yeah which like I said is redundant if you have the dongle
right but if for people who want an integrated solution and something on the
go so you were using the super x5 more with like music I've mostly been doing
gaming with it yeah so yeah let's see if it's my head
cuz I have big ears and a big head so it can be a problem but this so the RGB of
course around the the rings yeah oh there we go
does it can you turn it off wait I'm sure you can
there we go now it's like I've turned it a turn July yeah we got that we got a
blue I got a cool kid over here yeah he's input to USB so yeah you know
a for long time fans you'll know that we appreciate the super exploit technology
it is definitely the most accurate stereo positioning or surround
positioning audio platform that I've ever used we reviewed the dongle you can
go check it out on a PC world I will be doing a review of this as well just to
see how it is to be built into the headphones I still for PC gaming that I
have some nice pairs of headphones so that I like to plug into this so I don't
know if it'll be worth the trade-off of having it bluetooth or not but we'll see
I don't know uh 150 I'm guessing yes yes which is a little more expensive than
the actual dongle itself but obviously you're getting bluetooth headphones in
it and one of the other great things about having it built-in is that they've
tuned the drivers and the experience to match the actual technology which is
nice when you use the dongle for best results you want to use a certified
headphone that they have in the app but this is obviously certified because
they're the ones who made it so yeah I'm excited to try it out also plan on doing
something that's comparing some of the other spatialized sound platforms like
the Sennheiser the earlier provided but versus X by air or standalone air
between the technology just saying hey did super x5 technology whether you do
the dongle or the headphones versus some of the other things that have been out
there I know a lot of people were curious to see how it performs against
some of the others so something I've been working on long term so keep an eye
out for that and we will see you later
