BONE CONDUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Creative Outlier Free uses bone conduction technology to relay sounds directly to the inner ear bones via vibrations through your cheekbones, which transmit the sound waves, enabling you to experience high-quality acoustics.
With the bone conduction technology, this also allows your ears to remain free, allowing you to be fully aware of your surrounding at all times.
Free of ear obstruction, the Creative Outlier Free is also suitable for leisure activities, such as singing on mobile karaoke apps. This is made possible with the use of vibrations, allowing you to hear music clearly, while still being able to control your vocals without straining your voice.
The very same technology and open-ear design also mean no more sweaty earbuds jammed into your ears, giving you a safer listening experience and ease of communication with your workout buddies.

S. MALIK
An absolute gem with an unbeatable price I have been using Shockz Aeropex for years and have been very happy. Decided to order the Outlier Free as it looks similar to it. Received the delivery today and here are some initial thoughts: - Feel around the neck and weight: Very comfortable. It is quite similar to the Aeropex. - Connection: very stable and no signal drop - Battery: Seems to be excellent and may last almost the entire 10 hours advertised - Mic: usable and slightly better than Aeropex. Background noise is still heard by the caller - Controls: similar to Aeropex and relatively easy to get used to - Sound quality: This is subjective but the Outlier Free sounds really good. At normal volume levels, there is no distortion or vibration. For a bone conduction earphone - the Outlier is as good as anything out there currently - Price: Got a fantastic price and at significantly less than half the price of Aeropex, this is a no brainer Delivery - Ordered on 24th Feb '23 and received the next day morning. Super quick! - Waterproofing: It is rated at IPX5. However, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out in the rain. Overall, I am very pleased with the Outlier. Hope it will continue to hold-up.

Featured Questions
-
How does bone conduction work?Bone conduction is the transmission of sound directly to your inner ears through the vibration of your cheekbones, allowing you to experience high-quality acoustics while keeping your ear open.
-
What is the difference between traditional in-ear headphones and bone conduction headphones?Generally, traditional in-ear headphones work by transmitting sound waves to your eardrums directly while bone conduction headphones work by utilizing vibrations to transmit sound to your inner ear. While in-ear headphones are inserted into the ear canals, effectively sealing them, bone conduction headphones rest on the outside of the head and ears, leaving the ear canals open.
-
Can others around me hear my music?Due to the open-ear design and the placement of the bone conduction transducers on the outside of the ears, the headphones may be susceptible to sound leakage if the volume output is set too loud.
-
Is there a built-in noise-canceling microphone on the Creative Outlier Free?Yes, the Creative Outlier Free has a built-in microphone that allows you to enjoy seamless and hands-free communication.
