Creative Outlier Air | TWS In-ears | ₨7499

- 

FOR Low profile, great sound, long-lasting battery

AGAINST Plasticky build, poor touch controls, call quality

One of the headlining features on the Outlier Air is the use of a 5.6mm Graphene driver, which is the lightest and hardest nano-material known to man. To be used in a sub-₨10,000 pair of earphones, now that’s a big deal isn’t it! But the Outlier Air also differentiate themselves by being IPX5 certified and boasting a massive battery life of close to 30hrs.

Their design allows them to sit firmly inside the ear canal, creating a solid passive seal that, in some cases, will be even more effective than active noise cancellation! The only downside is their snugness without transparency mode, means you have little to no directional hearing if you’re out on the street, and this might prove to be risky while navigating through traffic. The entire round surface of each ear piece is a button to tackle various functions, but you need such a firm push to activate the button that it upsets the fit and pushes the already tightly fitted Outliers even further into your ear canal, making for an unpleasant experience. From the first notes of I Want to be Ready by Eric Bibb, the Outlier Air impresses with a balanced sound that punches much above its weight. The fancy finger work on the acoustic guitar with a solid stand-up bass and the light as puff vocals are all woven together finely, without emphasising any of the frequency bands. Move to hip-hop and
