CREATIVEZen Air Plus Lightweight True Wireless In-ears with Bluetooth LE Audio, Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, Ambient Mode, Up to 32 Hours Total Playtime, 6 Mics with ENC Technology (Dark Blue)

The media could not be loaded. These creative zen earbuds are in my opinion a very good set of mid price headphones. Compact and smart to look at I like these are headphone that will certainly get a lot of use.Out of the box the buds come in a nice premium feeling charging case. To look at they are similar in shape to Apple ear buds and these sit very comfortably in my ears. The Bluetooth connection was clear and stable with no noticeable delays when watching video.The sound quality on these is very good. First of all the hybrid noise cancellation technology does a good job of blocking out background noise allowing you to really focus on what you are listening to. The sound on this is great with rich bass, crisp highs and clear midtones.When you first get the headphones it’s advisable to download the SXFI app from creative as you are able to further customise your listening experience by playing around with the equaliser. This is a great feature and something probably more reminiscent of premium brands.With the headphones on you can control the music with the touch controls two quick taps on the right bud will play or pause. 3 taps on the right will fast forward while pressing and holding for 2 seconds on the left bud decreases the volume and the same thing on the right bud will increase the volume.The buds are very easy to operate and intuitive to use. It’s also possible to turn on and off the headphones whilst outside the case by pressing and holding the bud for 6 seconds. With the charging case you are able to good listening time up to 32 hours although not at once.Overall I am very happy to recommend these. Good quality premium ear buds at a reasonable price.

The ‘Zen Air Plus Earbuds” from “Creative” are a set of mid-level earbuds, designed to deliver decent sound reproduction and effective background hybrid active noise-cancelling (‘ANC’) for a reasonable price.When being worn, the earbuds feel very comfy in your ear, with the bud ends not too cumbersome or invasive within your ear canal. They’re also much more lightweight than they look, so although you’ll feel them in your ear (like you would with any earphones or earbuds), their presence isn’t overly noticeable. Look-wise they do stick out a tad, but generally look like any other earbuds of this style.The silicone ear gels that come with the earbuds allow for different sized ears. I use the smallest ear gels that come with them and find these fit my ears perfectly. When being worn, the earbuds really don’t feel like they’re going anywhere. The ear gels and general shape of the earbuds help to really hold the earbuds securely in place, although I wouldn’t necessarily try going out running or anything like that with them in, as I do feel they could pop out if jostled a lot.Sound quality wise, these earbuds are really good. Very clear quality and such a richness in notes. There’s a rich, deep bass that flows through the sound and they’re able to reproduce a vast array of complex layers of notes without any noticeable amalgamation or loss to the subtler layers. Acoustic tones provide a wonderfully natural sound that resonates through each note with a lush clarity and body to them. For use with calls and the like, they seem to pick up your voice well and certainly reproduce the callers voice clearly, making calls whilst out and about not an issue at all.The active noise cancelling is reasonable. They successfully block out almost all of the surrounding noise, with mostly just the music you’re listening too filling this otherwise empty void. It should be noted that the ANC isn’t on the same level as more expensive models and brands, however, it does still make a noticeable difference and probably are good enough for general use.All in all, I’m very happy with the performance of these earbuds. I use them for walks and commuting, which really works well for me as the active noise-cancelling they offer is incredibly effective for me to enjoy my music to whilst out and about. Highly recommended.

These are well made, with surprisingly good sound quality at the price point. They hold a charge well and stand up to use during exercise too.They're not as comfortable as my galaxy buds and don't feel as secure in the ear, but they also hold their connection far more consistently when I'm out for a run or step away from my device for a minute or two.

I have Soundcore P40i earbuds from Anker, which for some reason just don’t seem to fit well in my ears.I ordered these Zen Air Plus buds from Creative as replacements and I’m much happier - they sit nicely in the ear and consequently I’m not constantly worried about them popping out.The earbuds paired quickly and easily with my phone and tablet (once I’d spotted and removed the plastic protection over the contacts) and the sound quality is excellent. The battery life has proved more than adequate for my use and the compact case is supplied with a usb-c charging cable.Downloading the Creative app allows you to adjust equaliser and noise cancellation settings and also customise the tap settings to control volume, next track etc on the earbuds.The Zen Air Plus earbuds are well priced at just under £55, but at time of review they are available with a 50% discount voucher which makes them terrific value for money.

I thought these were broken when i first tried to use them as i was unable to pair them so be aware there are tiny stickers over the bottoms of the headphones that have to be removed to be able to pair them.A nice compact set complete with small case to keep them in and different size soft earbuds.Sound quality i would say is ok but lack any bass but can be improved by changing EQ settings but they will never be fantastic sounding but are very good for listening to talking books which is what i now use them for, i have better sounding headphones for listening to music.Case is magnetic which holds the earbuds in the case even if they turn upside down with lid open they will not fall out.Can be charged via the case on a charging stand or can be charged via USB lead.A very nice compact set, not the best I've heard but at this price they are a good deal.
