Creative has updated the Outlier line of in-ears with the Pro model, which features an improved battery life, hybrid ANC and Ambient mode, no less than 3 microphones per each headphone, IPX5-certified water resistance, touch controls, a charging case with Qi capabilities, support for the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology and more!
The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard box, which shows the headphones along with the charging case on the top cover, but also the SXFI Ready logo. What does that logo mean? Well, the drivers are prepared to work with the technology, but there is no dedicated internal hardware; because of this, the Super X-Fi Headphone Holography effects will be created through software, the dedicated SXFI App and only works with music preloaded on our device.
