Creative Outlier Pro Review – First Impression

The charging case is going to fit into your pocket with no problem, although it is a bit on the thick side. But if you’ve owned any of the previous Outlier earbuds, this would be familiar to you. As expected, the earbuds feel comfortable in my ears, I do not feel any discomfort after long use. 

Pairing process is simple, you just open the charging case, and both earbuds will automatically be in pairing mode for the first time. All you need to do is scan for the bluetooth device. 

It’s recommended to download the Creative app (to customise and assign touch controls, adjust the ANC, or tweak the audio equaliser).

Plus, you can also download the SXFi app that enables you to create a X-Fi profile (Super X-Fi headphone holography). This app will scan your head and ears for optimum cinematic audio experience. 

Sound Quality

Outlier Pro really shines in the sound quality department. I truly love the well-balanced of it. It’s great for music and podcast listening. The hybrid Active Noise Cancellation is also good at removing background noise. However, sometimes I cannot really tell much difference whether the ANC is on or off, I believe it’s like it’s always on. 

Mic Quality

There are 6 microphones in total (3 in each earbud), and they have been designed to detect any background noise and suppress it. Albeit, the mic quality is clear for voice calls. 

Battery Life

The Creative Outlier Pro’s battery is really amazing, I’ve only fully charged it once in the past two and half weeks of use. It boasts 60 hours of total battery life. It’s more than adequate to your needs. You can charge the charging case wireless (wireless charging pad is not included).

Range

The Bluetooth 5.2 really wows me in terms of range. Let me explain. When I used the Outlier Pro in my 4-bedroom house, I didn’t have any weak spots at all. Wherever I went, I never lost connection. The range is that good! It’s so much better than its predecessors.
