NOISE CONTROL
Your Personal Zen
Cancel up to 95% of the ambient noise in your surroundings! Using a total of four microphones dedicated for Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)—a mixed approach that combines feedforward and feedback ANC systems to remove a broader spectrum of noise than just one—drown out all the distracting sound and stay in your zone.
Ambient awareness: ON
Switch quickly to Ambient Mode via the same button as ANC on the right earcup! 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—all without stopping your music!
For cyclists and commuters, this comes in particularly handy for you to stay safe while out and about, especially around heavy traffic areas.
BATTERY
Keep going
We hope your playlist is long enough. Creative Zen Hybrid has a long-lasting battery life of up to 27 hours* with ANC on. Recharging is also super straightforward via the included USB-C charging cable. If you are in a hurry, a quick 5-minute charge also provides for 5 hours of listening.
CONNECTIVITY
With both wireless and wired options, you are free to select between Bluetooth® 5.0 or 3.5-mm analog jack.
We recommend the wireless mode while you're out and about and wired for when the power is running low or when you just want a quick and simple way to relax with some tunes.
Creative Zen Hybrid also comes with AAC audio codec for better wireless streaming quality.
COMMUNICATIONS
Get heard
Sound clearer to others on the line for an improved call experience! The Creative Zen Hybrid features a noise-cancelling microphone that works to pick up your voice over the noise. Combined with ANC on, you'll be able to hear them better when your environment's noises are cancelled out.
CONTROLS
Controls are easy
No fuss, only convenience. All the necessary controls are located on the right earcup, so they are easy to access. Answer a call, make a quick command via smart assistants* like Siri or Google Assistant, or adjust your playback volumes, it's all right there.
DESIGN
Designed for on-the-go
Just fold and stow! The Creative Zen Hybrid is made to travel. There are three ways to this—flat fold, half fold, and compact fold—portable enough to store in your laptop carrying case or your hand carry on the plane.
Quality build, extreme comfort. Three words: Snug, firm, and plush.
From its plush ear cushions to padded headband, Creative Zen Hybrid is designed with durability and aesthetics in mind to complement your daily life.
AUDIO
