Creative X-Fi Sonic Carrier (PRODUCT REVIEW)

The X-Fi Sonic Carrier is Creative’s bid at a new breakthrough product. Check out this video to find out what it’s all about and how they are using crowdfunding as a way to garner support for its development.

Hi guys, we’re at the Creative office in Singapore and we're here to check out the X5 Sonic Carrier — this $7,000 speaker.

Now, why is it $7,000? The specs on this are really impressive, but let's find out further.

I had a really enjoyable experience. It felt like a real cinema, not even a home cinema. I could feel birds moving around and the directions they were moving in, but it still felt frontal to me.

Now, Creative has said that this is only 20 to 30% of the final product. They're going to be constantly upgrading until the product is released at the end of the year.

This is the first time Creative is coming out with a product that is $7,000, and we wanted to use a new model. This new model is what we call a cloud funding style. It’s not like we needed the money — we just wanted validation.

If you think and feel that yes, this is what I want, come on board with us on the journey and we'll give you a very special deal for it.

Now, at the pre-order prices, I would say this is really good value. But at $7,000, I'd be interested to see how the final product is at the end of the year.

So check back again.
