39 HOURS1 OF PURE AUDIO BLISS
Boasting a jaw-dropping 14-hour playtime per charge, the Outlier Gold holds the longest single playtime without having to recharge every 3 to 6 hours like most TWS earbuds. Coupled with the accompanying charging case, Outlier Gold outperforms most competitors with an incredible total playtime of up to 39 hours. That's enough juice to power your errand runs or a long day of commute with music — which, by the way, is enough playtime for the longest flight route in the world (that's about 19 hours)!
Premium Charging Case
Constructed in a premium aluminum housing, the sleek charging case weighs a mere 54g (1.9 oz) that is small and easy to carry around. Simply pop your earbuds back into the case for storage when you are done with your listening session, and the case automatically charges it back to 100% for your next sesh. The case is also rechargeable via an included USB Type-C cable to a Type-A charging port.
Audio
Graphene Driver Diaphragm
To achieve audio excellence, we have incorporated a top-quality 5.6 mm graphene driver diaphragm — the world's thinnest and hardest nano-material that is lighter than paper, stronger than steel, and a better conductor of electricity than copper. The graphene diaphragm consumes minimal energy while providing superior audio quality, so Outlier Gold can optimize power to drive excellent audio reproduction for detailed highs, well-balanced mids, and immersive bass.
Stay motivated with the powerful beats and ride the momentum of your playlist as you take on the toughest gym grind!
Bluetooth® 5.0 Low Energy with aptX® and AAC
Outlier Gold features the latest Bluetooth 5.0 that is capable of performing at twice the speed of Bluetooth 4.2 while consuming lesser energy than the latter. Together with the supported aptX and AAC audio codecs, you can expect rich, enhanced sound quality over smoother and uninterrupted audio streaming for the ultimate listening experience.
Connectivity
Dual-voice Calls with Smart Assistants
One major flaw of existing TWS headphones is that they only allow for calls in mono, where audio is only heard from one side, and is usually restricted to the right earbud. With Outlier Gold, you can hear audio out of both earbuds while on a call and also have direct access to Siri or Google Assistant!
Both earbuds are fitted with built-in mic for calls and smart assistant functions. All you need to do is to assign your preferred side as the main unit control. The secondary earbud will then be automatically paired — no extra steps required!
Step 1:
Remove both ear buds from the charging case. The light indicator will blink in red and blue, meaning that your Creative Outlier Gold is now in Bluetooth pairing mode.
On your device (e.g. Mobile phone), go into the Bluetooth settings and search for the Outlier Gold.
Look for the individual ear bud that has the indicator physically blinking in red and blue, and pair to that. This ear bud will now be assigned as the main unit.
Step 2:
After selecting the main unit, the secondary unit will automatically initiate pairing.
The prompt will flash on your device, asking for permission to pair your phone to the other ear bud. Select the “Pair” button to complete the process.
Re-assigning the main unit:
To use a different ear bud as the main unit, simply place the intended secondary unit back into the charging case while they're both in use. The unit that is still connected to your device will automatically be assigned as the main unit. This process may take up to 10 seconds.
Pairing Outlier Gold to a second Bluetooth device:
Disconnect the Outlier Gold from your existing device. Press and hold the button of the main unit for 3 seconds to enter into Bluetooth pairing mode. Follow the same instructions mentioned above to connect the Outlier Gold to a new device.

REVIEWS
Wccftech
Creative have what is, arguably, by far the best wireless earbuds on the market when it comes to value for money and the features within the buds. With an unparalleled battery length, high-quality audio - with the additional feature of Super X-Fi implemented via software - and no issues at all with the volume.
9/10
Tech Radar
The Creative Outlier Golds offer best-in-class battery life and excellent sound quality for the price. You’ll have to spend much more to get better sound and even more expensive competitors can’t touch their battery life. These headphones offer a ton of value for money and we can easily recommend them.
4.5 / 5

The Outlier Gold’s offer rich detail across the remaining frequency range, however. With decent tone and clarity in the mids and highs, the Creative buds offer audio fidelity either for casual gaming or music.

After 3 days of usage, here are my thoughts/opinions regarding the Creative Outlier Gold. Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing - Sound quality is extremely amazing for a pair of wireless earbuds even without SUPER X-FI enabled. - No worries about your battery running low or having to charge constantly - Fits comfortably in ear and no discomfort even after long hours usage - Price is also inexpensive Cons: - Wish the SUPER X-FI works with other apps like Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud etc. as that would be a bonus feature and not being restricted to in-app/device playlist - Buttons are quite hard to press therefore causing discomfort to the ear upon pressing which i prefer to just use my connected device to Play/Pause my music Overall a great pair of earbuds which i would give a 5 Star but it has its cons hence a 4 Star it is. But highly recommended to those searching for a quality build of earbuds. *This review is base on my own thoughts/opinions and experience therefore it may be different from what you may think.

This pair of headphones arrived after much anticipation and did not disappoint. Clarity is good and bass is tight, the mids and highs are prominent enough, impressive for true wireless earbuds. The music has body compared to more expensive wireless earbuds(Samsung Galaxy buds) which sound thin. Sound: impressive. Will they replace a 4 driver wired headphone? NO. However, they serve another purpose, when we are running, or listening to music on the office while connected to the phone incase we receive a call, or when we need to go out sans the inconvenience of having wires dangling around us. With my Bluetooth 5 handphone, I was able to get to office without any drops in connection. The only interference is when at a traffic stop and a bus or truck passes by. Other than that, crossing the street, taking the train or bus and walking around the office and past the server room did not cause any connection issues or drops. Just make sure your music device is BT 5, my BT 3 MP3 player had constant connection issues(due to BT3's technological limitations). Connection: great. I could wear the headphones for around 2~3 hours. After that, my ears started to feel fatigued, and that's why I am deducting one point. Comfort: good Overall, stellar earbuds and I recommend with high confidence.
