Creative Outlier Pro

I have been searching a long time for a pair of wireless buds as good as these. See my previous reviews where I have returned top of the range £200 Sony's and Cambridge Audio ones too. (I do have a cheap pair of Soundcore ones I use for Zoom calls because they have/had such great battery life) These have incredible battery life 9 hours use with ANC off and they still have 60% battery life. I can't notice the impact of ANC on these or any other buds, definitely not compared to my Bose (over ears cans, which I use on flights) Sound wise these Creative buds are great. Supposedly heavy on the bass if you read the reviews, but I would still like more, as I find all the buds I have tried to be a bit tinny. These are better, but a bit more bass would be great (I have maxed it out in the app too) They are a little larger than some. but they still look great and not too big in the ear. Certainly a lot less bulky than my old Bose Soundsports. They stay in remarkably well even when jumping around at the gym. The colour wouldn't be my first choice but it's quite cool and distinguishable. Touch controls and pairing work superbly well. A great set of earbuds for an even better price!

I love these earphones. I had previously owned Outlier V3 which broke due to excessive sweat ingress but were the most comfortable pair of earbuds I have ever owned. Creative definitely know how to make great fitting earbuds. They don't fall out no matter what and stay in your ear; I never have to adjust them!! I had bought this pair as Used - Like New for £20 and couldn't be appuer with the deal. The earphones were clean with no damage and are working perfectly! They have active noise cancellation which works fairly well and also ambient mode which allow you to hear your surrounding better (useful when speaking with others). One other feature I love about these is they have a bare metal, built-in EQ inside of the earphones themselves! On the creative app, you create your EQ profile and it saves into the earphones. This basically circumvents EQ restrictions on apps like Spotify and allows you to stream music whilst using an EQ profile of your liking. Overall I would highly recommend! However be cautious when using for gym and workouts, make sure you clean regularly and don't let too much sweat get inside as they will die prematurely, they are only IPX5 rated.

CREATIVE Outlier Pro True wireless headphones This is my third set as I've lost my previous devices and liked them from before. I love the price, they're from a known brand, the build quality is great. Bluetooth connectivity is great and the headphones have super long battery life for the buds themselves but also with the charging case supplied. I get a long playback time WITH ANC enabled, about 10-12 hours. Sound quality is great, punchy and bassy and loud, the overall functionality of these hin ear headphones is very easy and a breeze to synch to my android phone. I have medium to larger ear canel areas and suit my ears fine, little ears may struggle here! The worst thing is perhaps the hit and miss call quality, if there's the slightest bit of external breeze hitting the ear piece's the call struggles, but I think this is common with most headphones uses outdoors, used indoors they're perfectly fine. I would recommend this item

Review after 18 months of use: Good 1. Battery life has proved to be excellent, both for the buds and the charger unit. 2. Virtually no issues with charging - a couple of times I needed to just clean the connection pins on the charger unit. 3. The app (on Android) reliably connects with the buds and allows personalisation of the sound profile and tap functions. 4. With some careful adjustment, the sound profile can be made quite decent, though it is not of "audiophile" quality. 5. Build quality is good - they are pretty rugged. The right hand mesh protective foil dropped out within just a few days of use and could not be refitted but this has not affected them. 6. They connect within seconds to my Oppo Android phone. Bad - 1. The touch points on the buds for controls seem very temperamental - too often they fail to recognise a touch, or fail to count accurately the number of touches. I do wish they had push buttons rather than touch sensitivity. 2. For the recipient of a call, unless I am inside in a quiet room, the sound the recipient hears is between poor to incomprehensible. On outside calls, so often the recipient cannot make out much what I am saying. The bud mics seem to emphasise extraneous noise. If I make a call while walking, the recipient will think I must be walking in a gale or wind-tunnel. The buds have built in noise cancellation, but this would appear to apply only to listening (it works pretty well for this) but has no noise-cancellation of mic sounds. There is much about these buds I like for the price but I would not recommend them to anyone who may wish to actually make a phone call while outside. (I now seek to avoid using them for calls when I am outside).

I purchased these to use at work in an engineering workshop. They work very well at cutting down the background noise, and the sound quality is very good, with lots of EQ settings that you can adjust to your taste. The big problem that I have found is that whenever I take them out of the charging dock the battery level is low or empty on at least one of the earbuds. The earbuds do not make contact with the pins in the charging dock properly. The slightest of knocks to the dock makes the earbuds lose contact with the pins inside the dock, which then turns the earbud on so that the next time you come to use it the battery is empty.

I have a pair of creative air headphones which I have had for the last 2-3 years and have been very happy with until the battery started deteriorating in the last few months. I bought this pair thinking they would be an upgrade over those pairs (which are now several years old as they were an older model when I bought them). These feel MUCH cheaper than my old headphones. The case feels cheap and flimsy, and the earphones themselves are low quality. The app is fiddly and the EQ does not seem to meaningfully adjust the sound enough to make up for the very poor sound profile.

Dopo sette mesi, e dopo averle provate adeguatamente, mi sono deciso a scriverne la recensione. Sono rimasto sorpreso dal suono di queste cuffie che è stupefacentemente “corposo” con i bassi che pompano divinamente. Anche le frequenze medie e alte vanno molto bene, a patto che la musica che state ascoltando non sia troppo compressa, l’ideale è una frequenza di campionamento intorno ai 320 Kbps. Il volume, spesso tallone di Achille di questi dispositivi, è piuttosto potente e certamente vi soddisferà. La batteria è duratura, ma ho notato che, una volta inseriti gli auricolari nell’alloggiamento e ricaricati questi rimangono così, e anche dopo un mese il case di alloggiamento non procede automaticamente a ricaricargli di nuovo, in caso la batteria non dovesse essere al 100%. Questo nel mio caso mi ha creato qualche problema, perché stranamente l’auricolare destro tende a scaricarsi più velocemente rispetto al sinistro. Mi è capitato di usarle dopo un mese, e dopo circa un ora di ascolto ho cominciato a sentire sulla destra “battery low” per poi spegnersi pochi minuti dopo. Non so se è un difetto di fabbricazione delle mie cuffiette, ma ho risolto, un paio di ore prima dell’utilizzo, estraendo e inserendo leggermente la slitta porta-auricolari nel case, facendo partire così una ricarica forzata che mi permette tranquillamente ore di ascolto. Un'altra cosa che mi risulta sgradevole (perché in precedenza avevo degli auricolari con tasti fisici per i comandi di cui si sentiva chiaramente il “click” quando gli schiacciavi) è il sistema touch, forse un po’ insensibile per i miei gusti. Come reggono questi auricolari alle orecchie? Bhe’, se le indossate e fate pugilato, dopo una raffica di pugni sul viso, potete stare certi che le cuffie sono ancora nelle vostre orecchie; Scherzi a parte, hanno un’ottima tenuta e le uso tranquillamente in palestra senza mai perderle. Sono discrete, senza lucine colorate strane che lampeggiano durante l'ascolto, come ne ho viste in giro. L’applicazione permette di regolare il suono a piacimento con il mixer interno e ottimizzare l’isolamento del rumore esterno. Prima di comprarle ne ho provate di diverse, anche di marche blasonate e pazzescamente costose, ma alla fine ho scelto queste perché sono davvero un ottimo compromesso tra prezzo e qualità del suono. Alla fine mi ritengo soddisfatto e le consiglio.

Nice quality at that price!

Le boitier est volumineux mais la finition est chic. Les écouteurs sont aussi volumineux mais leur maintien est très correct une fois l'embout choisi parmi les 3 paires d'embouts livrées. L'autonomie est très importante. L'étui peut fournir aux écouteurs 60 heures de temps de jeu total - environ deux fois plus que la normale. La charge sans fil est possible. Quant à l’ANC, il effectue son travail correctement. Il ne supprime pas vraiment les sons de votre environnement, mais il en réduit beaucoup en volume. Enfin Le Creative Outlier Pro délivre un son décontracté et très chaleureux, qui peut être affiné facilement via l'application afin d’augmenter la clarté et d’amener les voix plus présentes.
