Product details
- HYBRID ANC AND AMBIENT MODE - Cancel up to 95% of ambient noises with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, a combined technology of feedforward and feedback ANC techniques which uses a total of 4 mics that work in tandem to pick up surrounding noise and cancel them out. Switch quickly to Ambient Mode via the ANC button on the right earcup and let in outside sound to be more aware of your environment, like public announcements at train stations, or even a short chat on your coffee run
- 27 HOURS WITH ANC ON, WIRELESS AND WIRED MODES - Comes with a long-lasting battery life of up to 27 hours with ANC on (37 hours with ANC off) and recharge via the included USB-C cable. A quick 5-minute charge also provides for 5 hours of listening. Choose between wireless Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with AAC audio codec to free up your movement or wired mode via 3.5 mm analog jack for a simple way to listen to music or watch a show
- BUILT-IN NOISE-CANCELLING MIC AND VOICE ASSISTANTS - Creative Zen Hybrid features a built-in noise-cancelling microphone that picks up your voice over the noise to be heard clearer by others on the line. Your voice also gets picked up easily via Siri or Google Assistant, making it a breeze to command the headphones without reaching for your phone. Coupled with ANC on, you will also be able to hear the caller much clearer than any generic headphones
- GREAT ACOUSTICS WITH GREAT CONVENIENCE - Custom-tuned by our very own acoustic engineers, the dual 40 mm full-range Neodymium drivers promise high-quality sound, from accurate bass with a warm sound signature to crisp, clean highs. The necessary controls are located on the right earcup so they are easy to access--answer a call, make a quick command via voice assistants, or adjust your playback volumes, directly on Creative Zen Hybrid
- MADE TO TRAVEL, DESIGNED FOR COMFORT - There are three ways for storage--flat fold, half fold, and compact fold--portable to store in your laptop carrying case or hand carry on the plane. From plush ear cushions, padded headband, to 90° swivel earcups, it is designed to last. It features reinforced steel inner core that forms the backbone of the headphones with optimal acoustic seal, and is built with extra plush synthetic leatherette that fits comfortably even after extended hours of listening

The affordable Creative Zen Hybrid headphones try to deliver too much, with mixed noise cancellation capabilities and a frustrating app overshadowing fairly decent sound quality.

A solid pair of over-ear noise-cancelling headphones from the Creative, the Zen Hybrid features a clear, detailed audio performance and effective noise-cancellation at an affordable price, though those who enjoy bassy music should steer clear.
