We like the Zen Hybrid SXFI (#MF413) over-ear headphones that Creative launched recently, which provide an affordable alternative to Apple’s expensive AirPods Max. The company has now followed up with the Zen Air SXFI earbuds, which are also highly affordable and compete directly with the entry-level AirPods 4.
