Choosing headphones for sports is not easy, but Proposals like these Creative Outlier Free make it much less difficult to decide, as they seem designed from the outset to meet the specific needs that arise from the combination of practicing sports and listening to music at the same time. Something that, without a doubt, is key to the training of many people, especially in individual activities such as going for a run.
To have some context before going into its particularities, its name already puts us on the track, since are part of the Outlier family, made up of several models of headphones designed to facilitate the user’s mobility as much as possible. In it we can find models as recognized as the Creative Outlier Pro, which we tested a few months ago, or the uniquely customizable Creative Outlier Air V3.
These new Creative Outlier Pro have, as a particularly noteworthy point, incorporating bone conduction technology, that is to say, they produce vibrations that are considered negligible but, when applied to the user’s ear bones, generate sound waves directly in the user’s ear, instead of doing it inside the earphone, to later emit it. A key advantage of this format is that, unlike on-ear and in-ear, they offer an effect similar in some ways to open-back headphones, so that the user maintains a greater awareness of their surroundings, while enjoying quality acoustics. Something that, as I indicated at the beginning, makes them an excellent option for practicing sports outdoors.
We continue talking about its conditions, particularly optimal for practicing sports, taking into account its design. The neck-back format has proven, over the years, to be the most comfortable and reliable for practicing sports., because thanks to the low headband they remain firmer and run less risk of falling. In addition, they have resistance to water and sweat with IPX5 certification. Also, in case the session gets longer (or, of course, for many other uses) they have a autonomy of up to 10 hourswith fast charging that will allow you to obtain two hours of autonomy with only 10 minutes of charging.
For your connectivity, the Creative Outlier Free use Bluetooth 5.3, so they take advantage of the features of this specification and allow you to have them connected with two devices. This is especially practical if, for example, you use a specific player to listen to music, and you also carry your mobile phone so you don’t miss calls. For his part, he low latency mode It allows you to minimize the possible gap between audio and video when playing audiovisual content. And of course, how could it be otherwise, they are compatible with Siri and Google Assistant.
