Alright quick review
Sound wise, it is good, nothing seems veiled.
Latency wise, I didn't find it lagging with YouTube video. But I had aptx so Android woopwoop.

And oh yes it isn't touch but button!
I like this because I won't freaking give false inputs while trying to fit the earbuds.

Only 1 pair of tips which is interesting, but the fit and isolation is quite good

Perhaps more details as I use it more.

The tips can use my own tips right, or die die need to use creative?

Hopefully in the future creative can implement some type of pass through from the mic to hear your surroundings

Anyone pre ordered?
Can't find any reviews online yet.
Only concern if it fits as well as the gear iconx.

Bookmarked


Off topic - anyone here uses Huawei or XM wireless earpiece?
They look just as good as Airpod

Anyone that have both Creative Outlier Air and Samsung Galaxy Buds can feedback on which one is better in terms of SQ and features? Thank you.

I have the Jabra elite sports. SQ is like any 20 dollar earphones.

The elite sports sq leave a lot to desired for sure.

But it had the most stable connection

Until this outlier air

I think that bass also depend on how good a seal you get with your ear canal

I just bought a pair from the IT Show. I'm more than satisfied with this gadget

1) Reasonable price
2) Light and comfortable
3) Bass comparable to my Jaybird X3 (Good)
4) Nice design
5) Phone call loud n clear

I was intending to get a BT headset but got this instead. No brainer here!

Looking to get a set. Hope existing users can comment on:
1. Comfort? Does it feel like u can leave it in ur ears for several hours?
2. Seal/noise isolation? Does it block out most of the sounds?
3. Drop connection. Any?
4. How secure is the buds? Will it like get left behind in ur ears when u remove from ur ears?
5. Read the feedback in the forum tat bass is good......wat about mid and highs?? Do they come across clear or muddled?

I'm not able to go down personally to listen to the demo due to work commitments.

Looking forward to ur comments. Thanks.

My online ordered set was delivered today, even though it was scheduled to be delivered next week.

Video-audio lag wise, I think it depends on whether your phone is running bluetooth 5.0 or 4+. I am using 1st gen Google Pixel, so it is 4.2. With AptX on, there is a perceptible lag of maybe 0.5s? If i switch to AAC, there is no lag. So clearly, Bluetooth 4.2 cannot handle the data volume of AptX. I think with 5.0, it will be alright.

Music quality wise, I think it is really good for me, though I am not an audiophile.

Fit wise, it is good. Don't think it will fall out even when running.

Imho, this is a keeper for the price, battery life and 1 year warranty.
