if you're still on the hunt for some great truly wireless earphones on a budget in 2021
the creative outlier air v2s might just be the perfect pick for you
let's find out why in this review and unboxing spoiler alert they've got bass
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so creative have reached out to me again to review
their outlier air v2s a pair of budget truly wireless earphones coming in at just 55 pounds and
well i couldn't really resist so the big question here is how do they fare against the sound pete's
sonic which are currently my top picks in 2021 for the best budget wireless earphones let's take a
look so first things first the unboxing really really cool very well thought out and straight
away the design of the earphones has caught my eye and we'll talk a little bit more about them
later on i mean what else are we gonna talk about in a wireless earphone review inside the box we of
course get the case earphones themselves and a usb c cable to charge the case no wireless charging on
this case though which is a bit of a shame but not something i really expect especially at this
price point so going back to the earphones and the case the design is really quite unique admittedly
the earphones do look quite chunky but nothing really in comparison to other truly wireless
earphones and i'm thinking things like the bose earphones that came out a couple of years ago
they might be what you call average the materials feel quite hardy and sturdy they don't feel cheap
by any means and i'm loving the blue color here it's a little bit more exciting than the usual
black and white color options you get they also have a really nice minimal logo printed
on the side and i do rather enjoy that now for the case aside from doing non-important things
like charging your earphones and keeping them safe it's incredibly fun to play with
no but seriously i really do enjoy the case i think it's a bit unique and it sort of breaks
away from what we usually see on truly wireless earbuds also a really nice touch is the left and
right earbud indicators on the back of the case that should show you if each earbud is
charged and then you have another indicator in the middle which is the overall case charge i'm really
digging that and it all seems really well thought out i have to say and it might be worth mentioning
the battery life at this point so in total you're going to get 34 hours of playback time
which is pretty huge in comparison to other truly wireless earphones on the market at the moment
even the flagship ones that's 35 hours as a whole but you actually get 12 hours playback time from
the earbuds themselves which is actually really important again that rivals a lot of flagship
truly wireless earphones at the moment and a lot of the budget ones putting these above the rest
and if you are looking to upgrade from their previous version that is a 13 rise in battery
life from their predecessors so the important part how do they sound let's give them a try
so first thing i'm noticing is there's a little blue indicator when i slide out and that is the
earphones in pairing mode so i'm just going to chuck one in my ear it's the left one
now i'm gonna pair it to my phone so on the phone it's gonna come up as
so on your phone it's gonna come up as creative outlier air v2 i'm gonna click connect wow that
is the best robot voice i've ever heard on truly wireless earphones no joke bit upset that the
battery indicators and connecting indicators aren't quite as bright as the sound beat sonic
it's not really something that's going to matter to many people or if anyone just something i'm
noticing but great job on the robot voice okay so i'm gonna whack on a tune might help if i put
the other earphone in as well also gonna change the song bad quite crisp um it doesn't have the
same sort of clarity that i say have from my sony earphones but one thing that i am noticing these
have got bass probably the best bass i've heard on any truly wireless earphones and that's saying
a lot it really is deep and rich another common complaint i get about truly wireless earphones
is that they're not loud enough these also get really really loud again especially compared to
other earphones such as the soundbeat sonic and probably even my sony ones again i would show you
them in my ear but as i mentioned in my soundpeat sonic video the uk barbershops have still been
closed so i've been struggling with my hair a bit i'm not gonna lie so yeah the sound is really
quite impressive um it's definitely not the best sounding pair of truly wise earphones i've ever
heard but it does have some things that make them stand out above the rest i don't think balance is
something that shouts out to me here but those features such as a heavy bass is something that
i know a lot of you are going to be looking for really really good though especially considering
the price point the sound quality is not bad by any means these are a good sounding pair
of earphones another thing i'm noticing is the noise isolation now i've got quite a busy road
outside my house and i'm really not hearing anything and surprisingly i couldn't even hear
my girlfriend asking me to come and do the dishes so yeah there's a big selling point there in case
you are new here noise isolation is not the same as noise cancellation that's just how well the
sort of earphones themselves keep the sound out and it is worth mentioning that these do not have
noise cancellation and i really wouldn't expect them to have noise cancellation at this price
point usually we see a sort of cheap attempt and in the end it's not really worth having it anyway
what these do have though is a built-in microphone so you can't take calls on these
and use your assistant if needs be honestly a pretty solid setup for barely 50 pounds i'm really
digging these earphones and i think they're going to be something that i'm gonna be using a lot in
the future a couple of other things the creative outlier air v2s are sweat and water resistant no
you obviously can't go swimming with them but you should be okay if you get caught out in the rain
and you can take them to the gym with you they also feature bluetooth 5.0 which is pretty nice
and up-to-date and then we do actually have touch controls which i was going to talk a little about
now they do work but i didn't find them too intuitive in fact i don't really like touch
controls on truly wireless earphones anyway most of the time they annoy me and i only ever really
use them for pausing music for that they did work fine but i did find it a little bit fiddly
but not something that's upset me too much so that was a quick look at the creative outlier air v2s
as always do let me know in the comment section what you thought of them they're definitely a
good competitor for the sound pete sonic i was talking about earlier do they steal the
crown for my top budget pick of 2021 it's a tough one i mean they are a little bit more expensive
but for base addicts out there these might be the ones for you also we do have the design i
do actually prefer the design of these over the sound beat sonic so there is that to consider
as well anyway let me know your thoughts in the comments section do check out my other videos on
