Excellent, thanks, I'll consider buying a pair of those instead of the Crystal.

I've got the XM4 and always use the 'Excited' preset which gives me the right amount of mids and treble and plenty of punchy bass. But would you say the XM4 can be made to sound like the XM5 given there are many ways to EQ them or is the XM5 simply much better regardless of EQ? Speaking of Azla...

Thanks guys. Actually, I just saw that LDAC has now appeared in my Bluetooth settings for the Sonys. It wasn't there before, so obviously changing to Priority Sound Quality in the app has done that. And in the Sony app it's showing as set to LDAC. It's fixed and I'm now on LDAC. And the greyed...

Hi guys. I've received my new pair of XM4s yesterday. I found out I have to enable Bluetooth Priority Sound Quality in the app to be able to switch to LDAC, so that's what I've done. But it reverts to 'Streaming: AAC' the moment I start the music. It even reverted to AAC just from taking this...

Hello all. I've got a pair of Creative Outlier Air V3 wireless buds that have stopped pairing with my Amazon Firestick connected to the back of my TV in the last couple days but always worked flawlessly before. The buds pair fine with my laptop, phone and TV but not with the Firestick. My other...

Hi guys. I've got a mate who just bought a wireless charger to put his Sony WF-1000XM4 buds case on. He told me that after the case had been sitting on the charger all day, the case was quite warm when he went to use them. He said apparently it's quite normal as there's a lot of wasted energy...

I can only speak for the buds I have with ambient and those are the Creative Outlier Air v3. They have active noise cancellation too which is nothing special but the ambient mode works well.

I've tested the Creative app. I can't hear any difference with active noise reduction at maximum level. Ambient mode works quite well. Overall, a bit gimmicky. Loving the sound quality of the buds though! :) Next, I'm going to download the Creative Super X-Fi app, do some head and ear mapping...

Further to my previous post on the Creative Outlier Air v3 where I said ambient mode and ANR seemed rather ineffective, I just realised that the Creative app allows you to increase the levels of both of those modes. I'll report back after I've installed the app and tested how much difference it...

Got my Creative Outlier Air v3 this morning. :) They sound great. To be honest, I'm not sure if they sound different to the v2. Certainly not better in my opinion. The bass is super fat and punchy much like the v2 so I'm pleased about that. So, going from graphene drivers to bio cellulose...

My Creative Air Outlier v3 has been dispatched and the tracking suggests I might get it tomorrow. :D It was meant to be end of September beginning October. Weird, I can't find a single youtube review on them, and the reviewers normally get sent buds in advance.

Oh definitely I'll report back about them in around 6 weeks when they're shipped.

Well with my Mpow M30 buds, I don't think they have aptx, just SBC and to be honest, audio sync is better with the Mpow than the Creative. I think you're right about karma, I just went ahead and bought the latest v3. :D £54.99 direct from Creative.com as a promotional offer so £10 less than...

Oh thanks, I didn't know about these. I'm not sure if I need or would miss aptx or not. I'm out at the moment but will watch that video you linked later.

One month in and the left bud died on my Creative OutlierAir v2. :unamused: It won't charge, there's no flashing lights, nothing. So I returned them today for a refund. I must say, while they worked, whenever I connected them, the voice in the right bud would say 'pairing successful' followed...

My Creative Outlier Air v2 weren't disconnecting from my tv or phone when put back into the charging case, whereas my Mpow M30 revert to the phone or tv speakers when put back in their case and then reconnect when taken back out. I charged the Creative buds and case and now they're disconnecting...

Yeah, you're right actually, for commuting, more bass does seem to cut through the really loud train rumbling. But also, these create a great seal quite deep in my ears. Yes, I was reaching around for the long metal Creative case in my camera bag and was like "Damn, they're not here!" I thought...

Quick update, in particular FAO samandhi and miserybeforethemusic (great name :D) regarding my Creative Outlier Air v2 TWS. They very kindly recommended me to try some other buds with long battery life and a more analytical sound as I was complaining about aspects of these such as mid bass...

Thanks very much for your recommendations. Yes, battery life does seem good on both. I can't actually find the UE Fits on any uk seller. I found the JBL Club Pro+ though ranging from £97 to £130. What I'll do first is get a demo of the Melomania Touch and update here. They're also £130...

Thanks buddy. Can you tell me what model of UE and JBL to look for and do you know if the battery life is long on those?

Wow, you absolutely nailed it with your detailed explanation. I never thought of that term 'fun tuned' but yes, that seems to be right. I didn't know the ibasso were known for excelling at drums, that's interesting and would account for me liking them. I would say they're fairly neutral as...

That's interesting to know that you got clipping too on the first version of these buds. I must admit I haven't had any clipping since, so still testing to see if I get it again. I've now selected the largest tips that came with them with the widest bore and those give me the bass I like. I...

Well having tried the Creative Outlier Air v2 now, I can say I'm very impressed with the sound, particularly the bass, they're giving me the very low end I was looking for. But, and I don't really know how to describe it, there's this very occasional and random sort of clipping sound I get...

Cheers Gm7dha, I'll definitely let you know how I get on. :)

Just arrived. Looking forward to giving them a whirl. :) go
