I’ve never been much of a fan of in-ear headphones, I admit, but I’ll say it too models like these Creative Sensemore Air make me rethink my position a lot. And it’s the level of sound quality already achieved with these increasingly smaller and more ergonomic devices that sometimes makes me wonder if going out with headphones the size of ensaimadas is still the best option.

And what is it that makes them so interesting? Let’s start by looking at its name Creative Sensemore Air, more specifically Sensemore, the name Creative chose for the new technology that significantly improves the experience of using them, in that it is unnecessary for us to take them off to have a conversation, for example. And you might think that I am talking about the Ambient mode, already present in other headphones of the brand, but it is not so, in this case it goes one step further.

Users will have fun with it absolute control over the level of outside sound they want to hear. And it’s that we obviously don’t want the same level of isolation when we’re walking down the street as we do when, for example, we enter a store and start a conversation with a salesperson. So to guarantee that we don’t lose detail, Sensemore mode is 5 times more sensitive than Ambient mode.

So the sound capabilities of these Creative Sensemore Air in terms of ambient sound are like that Sensemoreenabling interaction with the «outside world», mode Surroundingwhich filters some of the external sound, but not all, to prevent acoustic signals, warnings and others from going unnoticed, which would endanger our safety and into absolute, or at least very deep isolation, a way active noise cancellation, capable of filtering virtually anything coming from the outside. Let’s recall an important point in this regard, that all modes can be adjusted according to our preferences.

They have headphones to ensure sound quality with high performance 6mm bio-cellulose speakers which, in conjunction with the design of the rest of the headphones, can deliver balanced and enveloping mids and lows, as well as distortion-free highs. However, and because everyone likes sound in a specific way, the control application has an equalizer in which we can choose between preset modes or personal settings. To capture external sound, either for filtering or if we use them for conversation, they integrate four microphones, two for capturing the voice during calls and two more for active noise cancellation.

Another strong point is its autonomy, and when the headphones and case are fully charged, the Creative Sensemore Air can provide autonomy up to 35 hours. The key point for achieving this goal is its connectivity based on Bluetooth 5.2 LE, i.e. a low-power specification that, however, does not affect the quality of the sound reproduced by them.

Other notable features are his IPX5 certificationwhich suggests that we can use them even during sports or other activities that make us sweat, and that the touch control functions of its surface can be freely configured by the user.

Creative Sensemore Air headphones are already on sale on the manufacturer’s website and their price is €99.99.
