Yes, the Creative Outlier Air are a superb value. Sound quality, while not neutral, should be enjoyable for most consumers. The substantial battery life is appreciated, as is the high-quality Bluetooth codec support.

In the world of true wireless earbuds, the Creative Outlier Air are up against competitors costing two, three or even four times the price. Yet they hold their own, and in some ways even better those rivals, offering a perfectly stable wireless connection, incredible battery life and – thanks partly to Bluetooth aptX – absolutely fantastic sound.

When it comes to sound quality, the Creative Outlier Air earbuds are shockingly good. They offer great clarity, but also bass power that we’ve not seen elsewhere in the true wireless space.

Honestly, I can’t say enough about how pleasing it is to listen to audio with these. They’re my new go-to for anything audio … overall, I think these are the best earbuds on the planet under USD200.

You can easily spend more than double the price of the Outlier Air on true wireless earbuds. But for most people, there’s little point: Creative’s headphones sound good and have great battery life.

For the price, the Outlier Air is easily the best set of truly wireless earbuds I’ve had the pleasure of testing. They offer 95 percent of the experience you’ll get from much pricier earbuds—all without breaking the bank. If you’re looking to pick up a set of truly wireless ‘buds and don’t want to spend more than a Benjamin, put these bad boys on your wishlist.

The Creative Outlier Air TWS earbuds have dethroned the Mavin Air-X earbuds to become my favorite TWS earbuds. The Creative Outlier Air earbuds have better battery life, better sound, and you can’t beat the price at around $80. If you’re looking for your next favorite pair of TWS earbuds, you must check out the Outlier Air.

It's easy to buy the Creative Outlier Air or Gold for its extraordinary battery life alone - but they also impress with their versatile, balanced sound and convincing call quality.

Surprisingly, the audio quality nears an on-ear mainstream to high-end headset and we were surprised to see how much bass these small drivers can deliver. At the same time, the highs and mids did remain clear and the voices were easy understandable in all the content we did listen.

Battery life is one of the standout features of the Creative Outlier Air. Even compared to some high-end true wireless earbuds, the Outlier Air outperforms most of them with up to 10 hours of audio playback on the buds themselves. The included charging case nets you an additional 20 hours of audio playback, which equates to up to 30 hours of listening time.

An exprience like no other. I have yellers at the gym but now I don't hear nothing even when they train and strain their vocal cords next to my head. Before I settled on creative I had tried pretty much everything but these are the only ones where I feel the bass in my throat, lungs and plexus. They are a legit performance enhancer and a great add on to preworkout. Don't think about it, just buy them.

Great sounding earphones.

Best Choice for the price Beautiful Sound. Very Balanced Recommended

Very good ear fit and sound. Had some minor issues on the auto-disconnect from the device when put back in the charging case. Battery lasts for about two days before charging. Overall, it is still a very good set of ear buds.

Great set of IPX4 ear phones. Very comfortable to wear and good sound quality.

my 1st pair of buds. I can sum up by saying, I now understand why folks run with it and go everywhere with it. Loving it!

Best earbuds for this price range !! highly recommended..

Better audio than my airpods 2gen and airpods pro. That bass, the rumbling without compromising the other frequencies. The sealant is not as good as I expected and the buttons are hard to press actually hurts a little bit.

I bought this in November 2019. It's March 2022 now and i can confidently say it is the best true wireless earphones money can buy. Here's why- 1. Battery life is phenomenal. Every night i sleep with it(i know, i shouldn't) and by morning it is still connected with a full days worth of battery. I cannot stress how satisfying this is as I sleep listening to yoga nidra and wake up to meditate with it and workout with it then listen to music while working until lunch. I even listen to an audiobook in the afternoon. Battery only wanes when i've reached 2 days of non-stop use or up to 4 days of on and off usage. 5/5 BATTERY LIFE 2. Does it say it's waterproof? Because I didn't have any idea it was until i was reaching for one and dropped it in my tea. A little backstory, the only CON i have with the Outlier Air is that the cover of the button comes off. It came off after the first couple of months. No biggie since i always have my phone for controls. Soo i'm using it with the motherboard exposed right? So when i dropped it i thought okay time to buy another one. I immediately got it and put it inside a sack of rice(yes, i'm asian:). I checked after 3 days and it was blinking fast non stop so i put it in my drawer thinking it was dead. After 2 weeks i decided to charge it and lo and behold it blinked red charging. No kidding, with the motherboard wet, it still worked. I don't know if it's the rice but my 3 dead iphones say it wasn't the rice. 5/5 WORKOUT/SWEAT/RAIN/TEA SAFE 3. The sound quality is comparable to most highly rated true wireless in the market. My brother-in-law owns one of them and his problem was it was always low-bat so he has 3 other true wireless to use interchangeably. For that the Outlier Air has the most value based on my research in 2019. It's edge then was its battery life and i was looking for that specifically to make the switch to wireless from wired. I had it shipped to my Aunt's house in the US and shipped to me here in the PH. These headphones are still so worth it almost 3 years after that the only reason i'm saving up for another one is because i lost the right earphone so i only have the left ear that i've been using for about a year with no button cover with the motherboard exposed lol. But! it still works like there's no tomorrow. 5/5 SOUND QUALITY/VALUE FOR MONEY That's it! All in all if you are here then you're most probably looking for the best bang for your buck true wireless headphones. At 79.99(the price i bought it for), you can't really lose with this. Not unless you actually literally lose one ;)

Fits and stays in ear better than apple AirPods Pro. Sound is really good.

Awesome sound excellent battery life I’ve had these 3 years and still working perfectly fully recommend

Great earbuds with excellent sound quality and long lasting battery life. If you experience and problems with the device the customer care team are 5 stars and will provide all the help you need. I would highly recommend the creative outlier air earbuds to anyone.

Incredibly lightweight. Excellent balance between weight, sound quality and fit.

Great wireless earbuds, my girlfriend and I love alot!

Pair each for 17 and 20 year olds. They're delighted with them. Now getting some for myself.

Great!

Excellent. Value for money.

High sound quality for an affordable price.

Great value for what the product is - Indeed sweat proof, and washable. Secure fit that it doesn't fall off even while sprinting, long jogs, and workouts. Battery life is sustainable beyond an average use, and it charges quick; so does the charging case. I usually see a need to charge after 3 days of use, which in a day consists of: morning commute to work (1.5hrs), 30mins during lunch, commute back home (1.5hrs), and roughly 0.5-1hr while exercising Hand-free features works well and serves almost all average needs and more (with Google Assistant) And the lack of frills really works well with the value and features to appease any average user who also exercises.

Super good sound system! Able to run without it falling out too. Love it!!

Exceeded my expectations so far at this price. Comfortable fit. Easy setup. Switching from left to right works as advertised. Sound performance is good considering it’s a BT earbuds. Keep up the good work. Testing this on long flight next!

It's amazing. Fits in nicely.

Received this a week in advance. Unbeatable price & unparalleled performance. Tried a few reputable bluetooth earbuds (Apple & Soulz) but they don’t come close in terms of sound quality, fit and connectivity. Really surprising that it fits nicely in my ears and doesn’t fall off after a workout. The only drawback is that it can get a little uncomfortable when you press the buttons on it. Nonetheless, its not a big issue. I certainly recommend this product.

Surprisingly good. Am very glad of the purchase. Have just ordered the second pair!

Great earbuds, worth every penny!

The Creative Outlier Air is a well-priced true wireless in-ear headphone that features a crazy long battery life of 30 hours, bright and crisp sound signature, slick design, USB Type-C charging and Bluetooth 5.0. That's the perfect marriage of great audio, technology and price.

Excellent product!

Love it! Great fit and great sound!

Excellent power for long time play. Sound quality is good. connection and pairing absolutely no issues. I bought this for. my wife for her birthday. She is very happy. She started love me more now like newly wedded couples. She play games and enjoy music using this outstanding outlier.

Good purchase :)

Super quality sound. Comfortable to wear for long time. Recommend to buy. Very satisfied with the product.

Sound Quality was better than I expected. Pairing was easy and if you give it a twist to make the ear buds a better tight fit, it actually does cut off ambience noise. The fitting of the ear buds was perfect! I'm lady and find that most ear phones or ear buds were too big for my comfort. So this is a BIG thing for me. Only thing is I need to get use to the button on the pods. Would prefer a capacitive touch button but I understand that will probably bring up the price. An awesome product at a great price! :)

awesome

An excellent product.

I love it !!! Sound is good !! Bass is awsome ! Worth it ! ??????

Great earbuds with stable connection and battery life!

I read a lot of positive reviews for these so I decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. The sound is phenomenal! Great bass, but not so much that it drowns out the rest of the music, and great overall sound. I compared them to a pair of Bose Soundsport Free headphones and the sound was almost identical. There is no app for these but I don't think they really need one. The fit is secure and comfortable. The connection is solid (in a week I've had only 1 or 2 drops and I've used them every day for at least an hour). The only negative is that the buttons are a little stiff to press. Not impossible but you have to press them so the pressure doesn't push them further into your ear. It's more of a learning curve on how to best press the buttons. Maybe more of a 4.5 star review but the sound more than makes up for it. Overall a great value for $80.

it sticks into your earbud like a glove. Easy to use and it seems really a durable for all kind of sports.

Amazing.

So far so good, sound clarity and reasonable bass can be heard.

great sounding pair of wireless ear buds @ a really good price.

Great stuff!!! Will buy more for family soon

Just received the Outlier Airs, charged them up, paired them to my LG V30, Easy, straightforward process. Fired up Bryan Ferry's "Boys and Girls" Hi-Fi quality on Tidal. Wow. I know that album inside out going back decades. Hearing things I've never heard before: detailed, clearly defined, spacious soundscape. Very musical. Engaging timing. Breathtaking. Rich, saturated but tamed bass. Resonant. Sounds just how I want it; nothing missing. No listening fatigue. Very pleased.

I purchase these after doing intensive research on many TWS available in the market. Originally, I was leaning towards the Jabra elites but I came across a review that mentioned these have bluetooth aptx codec which cause me to then shift my focus to these. I ended up buying these and the 1MORE stylish (one for myself and the other for my gf) since they both support aptx. Here is a quick comparison: Sound: The sound qualities of both these TWS are amazing but different. The creatives are bass heavy but does not sacrifice the mids/highs so the vocals very clear. The thing that impresses me most is the sound stage. The creatives have a very open sound stage, creating an immersive 3-Dimensional sound in your ear. These TWS gets VERY loud ...llike piercing loud. The 1MOREs on the other hand offers a more balance sound and the volume isn't as loud. 100% volume on the 1MORE is about 85 to 90% of the creatives. The outlier air is a better fit for me based on the type of music i listen to. Fit/Functions/Connectivity: In terms of fit, the creatives stay in my ear alot better, where as the 1mores will not if I shake my head violently. Also the creative outlier air has better passive noise cancellation, as it blocks most of the surrounding noise. There are a couple of areas creative can improve on this product. First, the buttons are very hard to press compared to the 1Mores and therefore, I had to set the volume to max and dial back the volume using my phone. Secondly, the connectivity of these earbuds could be better. I did a test where i walked about 50 feet at work and it held a pretty good connection if there are no walls in obstructing the path. The moment there is any obstruction, I would say the audio starts to cut in and out at about 30 ft. Therefore the range for an actual stable connection is around 15 to 20 ft. The 1More Stylish did a better job, holding a very good connection at the same distance. Lastly, is the latency. I would hope to see bluetooth aptx low latency codec in the future. Both products show little to no lag when watching videos on my phone. However, when gaming, or when watching videos on my PC I notice a very slight delay and video / audio syncing issue. I even installed bluetooth 5.0 wireless card on my laptop to see if it will help with the slight delay. Unfortunately, it did not. Regardless, latency is actually really good since I was trying really hard find any audio/video syncing issues. This occurs in both devices. Overall, I love this product regardless of some nitpicked shortcomings because the sound coming from these are just that good and at such a good price point. I have recommended this product to several friends and colleagues at work.

I actually feel compelled to write a review on this- Nice product !. First thing you need to so when you get these is put new ear tips on them ! I will start out by saying I would have given the product a 2 star review if I didn't have some decent ear tips from another pair of buds to test them out with. With the included tips fit and seal was lacking and uncomfortable. Very flimsy. I replaced with a pair I had from some Nocs in ears and the difference in bass and seal is magnitudes better. Dramatic, maybe. But the difference was too. I had my wife try and she was even surprised by the difference. Bass extension was excellent.Unfortunately the depth doesn't allow them to sit in the case and charge properly so I have some tips on order and will try to modify. So, Creative, great product do yourself a favor and charge $5 more and include some nice ear tips. With that out of the way - Nice packaging and presentation. I wish you could pair to more than one device - but knew it wouldn't going in. There are some similar looking product on Amazon, but these seem to have better specs. Overall, I like the design and agree with the many reviews I've seen regarding the buttons, a little hard to press. Sound quality is very comparable to the Nocs in ears I have. There is more bass extension and warmth to the sound.I think the detail is decent and for what my use case will be they sound pretty good. I didn't want to spend a ton and I have other noise cancelling headphones for travel. I've tried using them on a few calls which was basically my wife calling me- ok but really not a tough test since it was quiet and we were across the room from each other. I haven't yet experienced any of the other issues I've seen regarding drop outs so forth. I'm hoping the SXFI app will support these soon which would be great and an added bonus. Commendable job on the phones and with a little fine tuning they could be superlative. I think if you're looking for a good workout set that don't break the bank and sound pretty good with the right tips, these are for you as they are for me.

I seriously cannot believe how amazing these buds sound.....ive been listening to them for several hours now and they are fantastic. I am hearing new detail in old favourites and the sound is so rich and full with great separation and sound stage. These would be great for ￡200 but for ￡75?! Wow! Do not think twice.....the reviews are true....brilliant.

I watched and read all of the reviews online before pulling the trigger on this one. I must say, I was totally floored and blown away on how great and amazing this product is. all the reviews you can find online are spot on. I highly recommend this for those who are looking for an all around, well balanced and excellent value for a true wireless audio experience. and BTW, the delivery was sonic fast literally. delivered within the week of my purchase day(I reside in Singapore) Thank you Creative team. keep up the good work

very good sound quality and good fit

Truely amazing quality. By far My best purchase in a very long time. The sound quality, durability and overall design is sensational. A real goosbump feeling when you open the box.

The best earbuds that I've bought to date. I've had several other wired and wireless bluetooth earphones over the years. The Creative Outlier Air are better than the others, especially considering the long battery life and recharging in the case. I've been able to wear them for an hour or 2, approx 6 days a week, for 2 weeks before having to recharge the case/earbuds. No other bluetooth headphones that I've owned have even come close. The sound is excellent, from the highs to the lows. I've listened to some songs that I've known for many years and now appreciate the lyrics and sound better through these earbuds. Easy to use and pairs easily with my Android phone. Definitely worth the investment!!

Great wireless buds

The sound quality is awesome. You can have the same quality of big brands like bose, beats but ￡75 for this earbuds is very cheap. I think Creative is one of the biggest brand of the world if it's about quality standards. Keep it up ??

WORKS GREAT

Best in the market. I have gotten used to the pressing of the physical buttons. Removed a star because there is no companion app for the device. Please make one Creative.

Can’t go anywhere without them! These headphones are still going strong after 3 months. I’ve noticed some connection issues a few times here and there, but these are the best headphones in terms of quality and budget. Can’t wait to buy the gold pair

I wish more people knew about these

Received in 2 days after I purchased it, been trying out for a while and I must say getting into true wireless with a budget was rough as I don't know what to picked and I found this, went into research about this product and finally make the switch to buy it. Once I received it, and after charging, I really can say that these sound AMAZING and that is comparing to me who has high taste in music, the vocals and the highs are really good and the lows are not too overbearing either. as other people have stated where the button is hard to press, I agreed that it must either go for capacitive touch or easier to press the button, but I wouldn't mind this small flaw over how great the rest of its features are. Another thing I tested was the range and it's not bad especially when I am in a room full of electronics and computers around me it gets over through 10 m as what the specs had said. Overall, if there is next-gen of outlier air, what I want to see in them are: 1. Softer Buttons/Capacitive Touch. 2. Ear tips sizes ranging from small to large. (though small fits me perfectly small and medium would not fit other people) 3. Allow app support similar to how the Outlier Gold is having. hope this review allows other people to know what are the pros and cons and can find the right true wireless earbuds for them.

Awesome sound and battery life

Great product! that is why I bought my dad one also!

Well performing earbuds with adequate connectivity and long lasting battery.
