At £100, the Creative Zen Hybrid offer decent value for money, with reasonably well-balanced audio and noise cancellation that’s effective in most environments. Plush cushioning and ample battery life ensure you can engage in extended listening sessions in comfort, and the compact, foldable design makes them pleasingly portable, too.

In conclusion, a product that is recommended above all for its comfort, ease of use and quality itself. For travelers or simply workers who spend a lot of time on transportation can definitely prove to be a great buy.

I like the design, the ANC is not bad, the battery times are great, and they’re among the most comfortable headphones I’ve tested.

The Creative Zen Hybrid is a solid headset, and I just love it. It has replaced my previous work headset for remote working, and switching between ANC and Ambient Mode depending on the situation was amazing – and a killer feature for me. Add to this between 27 hours and 37 hours of autonomy, depending on your usage, and for just shy of $100, this is a headset that you should seriously consider.

If you're looking for a good pair of wireless headphones for your next road trip, consider the Creative Zen Hybrid. Not only are these hybrid active noise-cancelling (ANC) Bluetooth headphones good at reducing ambient noise, they also fold up to save space, and are comfortable to wear. Battery life is outstanding, too.

Creative Zen Hybrid has most of the bells and whistles that a flagship pair of headphones should have in 2022, and costs just S$149. The ANC and Ambient Mode perform pretty well here, and isn’t just some gimmick slapped on to the spec sheet. If you’re looking for a well-balanced sound profile then the Creative Zen Hybrid is also that.

"S$149 isn’t expensive at all, for a pair of headphones at this calibre, and right now, there’s even a sale dropping the price down to S$99, which is crazy good value."

With the Zen Hybrid, Creative present a stylish pair of headphones with easy operation, comfortable fit and practical features like ANC and Ambient Mode. Passive and active noise cancellation is so strongly positioned in these headphones that they provide comfortable silence and shielding from the outside world. The Zen Hybrid, therefore, rightly bears its meditative Buddhist name. Thanks to the rich and detailed sound, the sound quality can easily compete with that of many well-known hi-fi brands. And in combination with the SXFI app, the Zen Hybrid even offers a virtualised sound experience that, with its vivid sound experience, has addictive potential.

The sound quality is simply superb given its price point. I can’t think of another headphone delivery with such performance under $200. Both music and podcast listening is a breeze. It’s perfectly balanced as it is out of the box. But you can still go crazy with customisation with the optional X-Fi app that scans your ear to give you an optimal sound experience.

Stylish headphones with high wearing comfort and coherent sound, which, however, leave something to be desired in terms of workmanship and operation. And yet: The price-performance ratio is right.

For wireless headphones with decent ANC function, exceptional battery life and crafted by a reputational brand, this is going to be a good buy in my opinion. At this price range, Zen Hybrid stands out from the crowd thanks to Creative’s efforts. I would recommend these headphones to people who have a passion for music or just want to try out a personalised audio experience with a reliable ANC at a reasonable price.

If you are searching for budget ANC headphones, the Creative Zen are a decent option. They don’t have the performance of Sony’s ANC solutions, nor are they as comfortable after long listening hours, but you will pay half the price to get the Zen headphones.

"Creative Zen Hybrid are headphones that are perfect for people looking for around-ear headphones that work well on a daily basis . In meeting this criterion, a well-functioning ANC will definitely help, which will make traveling by public transport even more pleasant. In addition, you can't forget about the most important thing - good sound. Balanced, bass characteristics combined with clear mids and highs is a universal combination that most users like and it is difficult to have any objections to it."

I have a fan blowing behind me and I felt the buffeting of the wind generated by the fan is more pronounced when ANC is ON. Maybe someone can verify this and if it is true, maybe a future firmware update can address this. But overall, I am happy with purchase. A reasonably priced item. Personally, I would have prefer a black color set but unfortunately, that color was not available at the time of purchase. Thank you very much.

A good simple pair of headphones. Enjoying it.

Made a pre-order and received the Zen on the 23rd June (one week earlier than expected). First thing I did was to power it up and played the first trailer I found on Dolby Cinemas. The trailer from Avengers:Infinity War gave me goosebumbs! Strongly recommend this headphones if anyone is looking for a quality build in both sound and material.

They are the lightest headphones I own and have the most clarity

Headphones fit is very good and felt lighter on the head compared to the Sony XM3. The zen hybrid looks set to be my daily driver at the office!

Arrived quickly. Setting up was a breeze. ANC is quite good.

Great sounds, easy to connect, comfortable to wear.

Great for the price. They sound way better than I was expecting, quite balanced sound profile. And there is really good passive noise cancelling and on top of that decent working ANC. The battery life is also excellent with or without ANC.

Fits snugly with top quality sound with anc that I love :)

Excellent set of headphones, versatile, easy, great sound, responds well to EQ tweaks and progressive metal! Recommended, great value.

Excellent. Going to buy a second

I love these headphones, the sound quality is as good as you can expect from a Creative product (though I still prefer my old Aurvana Live 2, which is a testament to how good the Aurvana sounds still). It's super comfortable, I can wear it all day long and never feel tired or sore. The portability is excellent, with the steel insert it's sturdy, the carrying pouch protects it from scratches, the folding earcups makes good use of tight spaces, and the extreme long battery life means you can forget about charging all day. Traveling on a loud and noisy train, or flying on a plane near the jet engine, and being able to participate in a teleconference at the same time is like a superpower, it's amazing, I can always hear them loud and clear, and they can hear me likewise. The ANC does a very good job, and having a hidden microphone is a bonus. And no more hassling with the wires during traveling! I love everything about these headphones, it's an absolute bargain for this price.

Very good and nice sound (for their price category), excellent battery life, comfortable for long hours of listening, quality construction. 100% recommended.

Worth every cent.

very happy with this headphone. I'm going to buy 2nd set soon

Great headphones for price noise canceling better than expected

superb sound and good batter life!

Nice package, ANC and Ambient are handy and overall quality is good.

big thx very good product for brilliant price:)

Partner loves the Creative Zen Hybrid, the noise cancellation was superb and everyone in the office asked about it. 5 out of 5 stars, good job all the people at Creative !

Pros: Great pair of headphone for this price! Bassy, ANC is strong enough! Music is crisp Cons: Volume a bit soft with mobile phone but perfect with PC / laptop. Mic a little soft for phone calls & zoom calls, have to bring it near to the mouth

Good sound and anc for the price point.

Orders received in good form and well pack to minimise damage during delivery. Love the sound quality and the complimentary casing that fits the headphones nicely!

Excellent Sound. Great value for money

Good one, loved the set.

Awesome sound! Battery lasts super long! Foldable too! Highly recommended!

Crisp clear sound with rich bass and mid range separation, delivering memorable experiences

This is my 2nd pair of Zen Hybrid headphones. They are an excellent product & now I have one for use during workouts & one for @ home only.

Excellent product. Why pay much more for a Bose headset?

These are amazing. I am getting a pair in black.
