Noise Control

Let the world in

Invite just enough of the outside world and control how much surrounding sound to let in with the Ambient Mode. Fully adjustable via the Noise Control module on the Creative app, stay aware (and safe) of what's going on around you, especially when you are outdoors. Whether you are cycling to work, walking along a busy street, or making small talk with the barista, do so without having to remove your earbuds—just double tap to activate!

Or keep it out

When you need to shut out the world, double tap to turn on Active Noise Reduction. This feature uses a feedforward mic in each earbud to reduce noise coming from the surrounding and into your ear. Say goodbye to what you don't fancy hearing and stay focused on your tasks at hand, or relax with just you and your playlist.

Battery

Don't stop

Be unstoppable with the Creative Outlier Air V3. The earbuds can last up to 10 hours on a single charge—and up to 40 hours together^ with its charging case—the question is, can you keep up?

If you are in a hurry, a quick 10-minute charge also provides for 2 hours of listening.

^Actual battery life is measured with Ambient Mode and Active Noise Reduction turned off, and may vary depending on usage and settings.

Juice it up

Simply pop the earbuds back into the charging case and they will start to recharge automatically. The charging case is also wireless charging enabled and Qi-compatible, so you can place them on your existing charging pad* to recharge, or plug it into the USB-C cable that we've provided for your use and charge as per normal.

*Wireless charging pad not included. We recommend a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad of at least 5W for optimum charging speed.

GUIDE TO WEARING THE OUTLIER AIR V3

Getting a proper and comfortable fit is important for the best listening experience. Here's a quick tutorial on how to wear the earbuds so that it stays secure and snug in your ear.

Place the buds into your ears. Put them on piece-by-piece on your first try to get used to its shape.

Twist it gently up-and-inwards towards your ear canal to achieve a secure fit and comfort.

Assess the fit by shaking your head to ensure it does not fall out. If the audio sounds “tinny” with inadequate bass, this is an indication that your ear buds are not fitted properly.
