The verdict

The Creative Outlier Gold is a bump up from the company’s Outlier Air true wireless earbuds. These earbuds have exceptional battery life and reproduce seemingly realistic sound, with a similar effect as 3D audio. If you don’t mind last year’s form factor and want a great pair of value true wireless earbuds, Creative is a hard company to outshine.
