Our Verdict

Audeze Mobius

Creative SXFI Air Wireless

The Audeze Mobius are better headphones than the Creative SXFI Air Wireless. The Audeze are better-built, have a slightly bass-heavy sound profile that some users may enjoy, and have a noticeably better performing microphone for online games. The Audeze also have a unique head tracking feature that gives an immersive experience. Both headphones are Bluetooth compatible as well, but the Creative offer passive playback, which you can’t do with the Audeze, unfortunately.
