“Super
X-Fi captures the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system set
up, and recreates the same expansive experience — with the same original depth,
detail, realism, and immersiveness — in your headphones. Not simply a 3D
surround technology, the power of Super X-Fi lies in its capability to recreate
natural, realistic audio holography that matches your hearing profile, to
deliver to you a full theatrical experience.”
