Last year's Outlier Air V3 was an excellent and affordable pair of true wireless earbuds. Without missing a beat, Creative followed up with a newer Outlier Pro that trounces the Outlier Air V3 in every aspect on paper. However, you can also expect generous discounts on the Outlier Air V3 now that its successor is out. What's more, there's a rare scenario that you might even prefer the Outlier Air V2 instead!
The design of both Outlier models - Air V3 and Pro - offer a hint as to why they might be so affordable. From their hard plastic shells down to the sliding mechanism, both cases are virtually identical except in size.
The differences between the Outlier Air V3 and the Outlier Pro become more obvious once you slide the earbuds out of their cases. The Outlier Pro takes the Outlier Air V3's design and puts a slight spin on it.
The Outlier Pro's earbuds are slightly larger, but because of the way they are shaped, I found that they fit better. I also found them easier to grasp and remove from my ears when I'm done listening. Of course, because fit is such a personal thing, your mileage may vary.
