Choosing headphones for sports is not easy, but Designs like these Creative Outlier Free make the decision much more difficult, as they seem to have been designed from the start to meet the specific needs that result from the combination of playing sports and listening to music at the same time. Something that is undoubtedly key to many people’s training, especially in individual activities such as running.
To give you some context before we get into its quirks, its name already sets us off because are part of the Outlier family, composed of several models of headphones designed to make mobility as easy as possible for the user. In it, we can find models as well-known as the Creative Outlier Pro, which we tested a few months ago, or the uniquely customizable Creative Outlier Air V3.
These new Creative Outlier Pros have as a particularly noteworthy point incorporating bone conduction technologythat is, they produce vibrations that are considered negligible, but when applied to the user’s ossicles, they generate sound waves directly in the user’s ear instead of doing so inside the earpiece to emit them later. The key advantage of this format is that, unlike on-ear and in-ear, it offers an effect similar in some respects to open headphones, so the user maintains greater awareness of his surroundingswhile enjoying quality acoustics. Something that, as I hinted at the beginning, makes them a great option for outdoor sports.

Over the years, the neck-back format has proven to be the most comfortable and reliable for sports., because thanks to the low headband, they remain more stable and there is less risk of falling.

This is especially practical if, for example, you use a specific player to listen to music and also carry a mobile phone so you don’t miss calls.
