Anker Soundcore C30i vs Creative Outlier Free

The Anker Soundcore C30i are a better value set of open-fit headphones than the Creative Outlier Free. The Anker's 14-hour continuous battery life easily bests the 10 hours on offer from the Creative, and the Anker also store two further full charges in their case, while the Creative don't come with a case at all. The Anker also come with a companion app with a graphic EQ and presets, but don't expect to accomplish much with the EQ: both these headphones offer a thin, mid-range sound that's really best suited to spoken word content like podcasts. Still, the Creative's mic does a noticeably better job separating your voice from noise around you, so if you plan to take a lot of calls, they're the better pick. But ultimately, the choice probably comes down to design: the Anker are clip-on earbuds, while the Creative are wraparound neckband headphones.
