    T-i8s True Wireless Bluetooth V5.0 Earphones with Charging Box

    €12.87 €18.88 32% off ~~~ Limited time deal, only 286pcs left.


    Unknown brand and can not find any reviews, might be worth it at the price for some?

    At this time of year, you might be waiting for them to process your order.

    I have two orders, 12/26/18 and 1/2/19 that are still showing processing.

    Thanks for that corkie,i just ordered a pair,for 13 euros its worth a punt.zapals are notoriously slow for shipping so i will probably forget i ordered them and get a nice surprise in the post in may or june :)

    Just on the Creative outlier one deal, I did the following

    1. Went to the website and registered a new account.
    2. Got the referral code for €5 discount and €5 friend referral.
    3. Ordered 2 x Outlier ones for €19.99 each (+€4 postage) as non registered user (order individual earphones, not as a combi pack or it won't work)
    4. Applied referral code at check out

    Both earphone sets came to €29.98 total (+€4 postage).
    €10 credit for future purchase (available on 14/02/2019) was also added to my account for the referral code.

    Has the price gone up to 29.95 a pair? On my phone it showed 19.95 but then when i went to card it showed 29.95 and on website it only shows 29.95.

    Yes, 29.9x today.

    Xiaomi announces Mi AirDots Pro, an affordable replica of Apple’s AirPods

    mi-air-dots-640x382.png

    They’ve priced 399 Yuan ($60) which is a 100 Yuan more than the Mi wireless earbuds. Sales will start on January 11.

    ~~~ €53 + reseller markup.

    ^^^ Not really a Bargain, but thought I would share here anyway.

    The i10 TWS, would be a better and cheaper option.

    Anybody with the Outliers having connectivity issues? If I turn my head sideways, my connection starts breaking up. Want to figure out if headset or phone!

    I do. Not what you described, but I've used them twice at the gym now and in each session, they disconnected randomly (and then reconnected by themselves ~ 10 seconds later)


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    ^^
    Contact Creative. In the past I have found them very good. Although I haven't had to contact them in a long time and they have changed a lot since then on the surface.
    There may be some help here - https://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=437&CatName=Headphones&subCatID=231&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=23150&prodName=Creative+Outlier+ONE&bTopTwenty=1&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_23150,VARSET=CategoryID:437

    I have had 2 different speakers do the same thing and I had to remove devices from my Bluetooth list and clean it and reboot the tablet. I would guess it may be similar issue.

    In the gym it may be due to people having devices with the same name as devices on your 'connect to' list, and if the gym is busier, I would guess that happens more frequently.

    Hmm, I doubt that's it as it's at 6 in the morning in a small enough gym, usually only 3 or 4 other people there and I haven't spotted anyone else with the Outliers.

    I might just do a complete reboot of my Bluetooth list. I have about 15 paired devices but only maybe 6 I use regularly.

    I bought a set of these and used them in the gym yesterday for fist time. I went back to my tts (ttbh07) after 10 mins. They kept on randomly stopping, the bass sounds synthesised and I found the tapping option of pause, skip track etc awful annoying.

    I meant any of the devices on your bluetooth list.
    This may (or may not) help.

    i10 TWS. I should have highlighted the bit I was referring to.

    Got the Outlier Ones. Not very happy with the sound quality tbh. Find it much better on the QCY QY19s they were due to replace. Very bass heavy and quite tinny imo. I got them for the 20 euro offer so not so bad but certainly wouldn't be happy to spend the 30 odd they are now on them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,490 ✭✭✭Tipperary animal lover


    Bought the enacfire e19, have them a week, easy to pair, great sound, fit perfect, got them for €50 on ebay, delivery included in that price.

    Thought it was just me, I find the sound has exactly the same as you. I'm not happy with them either. Sorry now I didn't try the anker or taotronic ones.

    I've got a pair of creative over ears and that's why I went for them, these are terrible in comparison :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,378 ✭✭✭HighLine


    Reading the above few comments, I'm wondering if people got the same earphones as I did?!

    I got the Outlier Ones and was really impressed by the sound quality. No connectivity issues and for €24, probably one of the best bargains I've got in a while.

    I was the same, thought they were great. But managed to lose them over Christmas. Was about to pull the trigger on another set but then the price went up yesterday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 154 ✭✭jhammer


    I'm not a big fan of Pigsback but I do like Beats. Good price for refurbished? Probably about right.

    I'm a huge fan of the Anker headphones, and see they've a new spirit pro model. Has anyone tried them? Much of a difference over the slims?

    Same. The base is really heavy on mine and gets distorted. Okay for some music and podcasts but higher levels of volume the earphones lose it. Nothing compared to he JBL reflect mini's which have a better fit and sound. Also the Creatives controller is very heavy for running, bounces around a lot.

    I know this is expired and back up to £25 but can I ask if these would be ok for a side sleeper to use in bed or are they too bulky? Or if anyone knows of any under 50e that might be good for a side sleeper who is forever breaking their non wired earphones, to try out.

    Wouldn't think so. The ear pieces are quite bulky.

    Not getting that at all tbh. From the first time I put them on the music felt tinny and almost distant. Now twice the price of the QY19s I think I'll stick with the QCYs in the future.


  • Registered Users Posts: 735 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I have received the Creative Outlier One’s and I have been trying them with youtube, online radio and my music library and I have to say they are good value for the money (€22.99 including postage).

    Play around with how they sit in your ears to get the best bass - I thought at the start they were to thinny but fiddling the position seems to have worked. No Bluetooth connection issues either.

    I had the same problem, they have to go right into your ear to get the real sound from them they create a suction it's a weird feeling but this is how they work.

    Try out the different size tips in the outliers too. Makes a big difference to the sound and how secure they are.
