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.

This involves dual feedforward and feedback microphones on each earcup, working in tandem to pick up your background noise and cancelling them, so what comes through is pure and uninterrupted music.

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.

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.

Choose your modes

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. Guide to pairing.

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 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.

*This feature requires a Bluetooth connection to your iOS or Android phone with an internet connection, and support for the smart assistants.

Designed for on-the-go

Just fold and stow! The Creative Zen Hybrid is definitely 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.
