Creative Labs Super X-Fi: This “headphone holography” demo resulted in a rare technology “holy shit!” moment for me. Creative Lab’s Super X-Fi technology removes the claustraphobia from headphone listening, creating a sound stage as if music is emanating from room speakers a few feet away rather than drivers up against or in your ears. During the CES demo, one user in the group was encouraged to remove their headphones whenever they wanted, an action that shifted the sound from the headphones to the speakers in the room. We all followed that one user and were challenged to tell the difference between what we were hearing from either source – and you really couldn’t. Like I said – “holy shit!”
