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.

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.

Audio
Stay tuned
Stay pumped with Creative Outlier Air V3's rich and immersive acoustics performance. Made possible by 6 mm Bio-cellulose driver in each earbud with AAC and SBC audio codecs, enjoy excellent audio reproduction for detailed highs, well-balanced mids, and immersive bass.
Fits comfortably
The slight reduction in the earbuds' physical size means that the Creative Outlier Air V3 now sits more comfortably than ever in your ears! This design comes after numerous product design iterations and tests (no ears were harmed) for the optimal fit. Select from the three sets of soft silicone ear tips in varying sizes to choose your best fit; remember, even our left and right ears may require ear tips of different sizes too!
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.
