The new Creative Zen Hybrid Pro, Creative Zen Hybrid ProClassic, and Creative Zen Hybrid ProSXFI headphones unlock the power of LE Audio even before there are any sources available commercially for consumers.
"LE Audio technology is changing the game in the audio industry, aiming to transform how users experience wireless audio. This technology offers enhanced next-generation wireless audio performance with lower bitrates, beyond the classic Bluetooth technology users have become accustomed to over the years. In short, LE Audio not only elevates audio performance but also extends battery life, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted listening experience," Creative says.
With LE Audio, the power to share audio experiences takes on a new dimension. With support for both unicast and broadcast modes, users have the flexibility to enjoy their chosen audio streams privately or share them across multiple devices, bringing a new level of convenience and versatility.
Lastly, the Ultra-Low Latency (ULL) mode ensures impeccably smooth audio playback, boasting latency as low as ~ 20ms. This feature not only promises seamless synchronization but also redefines the audio experience for both movie enthusiasts and avid gamers.
The Creative Zen Hybrid Pro wireless headphones and their associated bundles, the Creative Zen Hybrid Pro Classic and Creative Zen Hybrid Pro SXFI are fit for daily commutes and immersive gaming sessions. Each iteration of these cutting-edge headphones caters to varying audio preferences and needs.
The standalone Creative Zen Hybrid Pro is LE Audio Ready on its own. To be able to benefit immediately from the new updated specification, users can easily activate it when paired with the Creative BT-L3 and Creative BT-L4 audio transmitters, which are bundled with the Creative Zen Hybrid Pro Classic and Creative Zen Hybrid Pro SXFI, respectively.
The Creative Zen Hybrid Pro also boasts an array of core features, including Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Mode. It also comes equipped with custom-tuned 40mm neodymium drivers, and integration of the advanced AI-powered Deep Neural Network (DNN) noise cancellation technology for loud and clear calls, even in bustling environments.

The Singapore-based company decided to offer bundled options to immediately open the doors to the world of Bluetooth LE audio, while also offering its own immersive Super X-Fi technology. The Creative Zen Hybrid Pro Classic offers an enhanced yet versatile audio solution that includes the Creative BT-L3 audio transmitter, which unlocks the power of LE Audio, as well as a detachable boom mic, creating an all-encompassing audio experience ideal for entertainment and seamless communication.
The Creative Zen Hybrid Pro SXFI, on the other hand, is tailored for gamers and offers the best of both worlds, allowing users to experience both LE Audio and Super X-Fi magic with the Creative BT-L4 audio transmitter. The Super X-Fi UltraDSP chip fitted in the audio transmitter fuels the SXFI BATTLE Mode, which is specifically designed to give users a competitive edge in virtual battlegrounds.
