I notice Creative have some of their headphones on sale at the moment.

Their over ear headphones:

https://en.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-zen-hybrid-pro

Are down from €99 to €34.

The Hybrid Pro Classic are down from €129.99 to €59.99, the same headphones as above but the package includes a removeable boom mic and BLE audio transmitter.

The in ear headphones:

are down from €69.99 to €22 but only available in white

https://en.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-zen-air-plus

are down from €59.99 to €18 in black

I've owned a pair of these

since 2022 but the ear pads are starting to fall apart. The ANH on them is great though, very notable reduction on the bus and the luas so I think I'll upgrade to the Hybrid Pro.

Great prices, a lot cheaper than on the UK site!

SteM · 26-02-2026 02:37PM

BTW, the site says if you buy these for €34

https://en.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-zen-hybrid-pro

then you have to pay €5 shipping, you only get free shipping over €79.

But free shipping is offered with the Zen Air Plus or Zen Air Pro in-ears, so you could get the over ear headphones and in-ear Zen Air Pro for €56 with free shipping.

Bought a pair just now, great price for a good brand. But I use sony wf-1000xm5, but who knows they could be giant killers.

They are sh1t, even removing them from the case is a challenge, and trying to get them to connect is something else.

Bought a pair of the zen air pros. They arrived on friday. No problem connecting them to my pixel 7, didn't disconnect when when I used them for 6 hours yesterday. They just lift out of the case.

Edit: not sure if they are comparable to your €200 in ear sonys tbh.

Mine didn't connect, reset also did not work. Return process was easy, request approved immediately, I printed An Post sticker and they are gone back. Mine also challenging to remove from case. I bought the ones for €18+ €4 postage.

Update, I left them charging overnight and they connect straight away, weird thing was, the charge light was green straight out of the box and that's why I didn't think they needed charging.

sydthebeat · 11-03-2026 12:56PM

anyone having an issue with one of the pods not working (the RHS one??)

ive tried master reset, and tried rest of the pod itself, but i think its not charging. There never any light on it, whereas the LHS one shows a red light upon lifting from the box.

I've bought a second pair, daughter took the first pair

How are the Zen Air Pro? I'd like an ANC pair for the gym and they seem to be selling these as very much sweat/gym friendly. I have the OnePlus Buds Pro 1st gen and while I like them, the in ear detection is quite dodgy, in my ears anyway, and there's no way to force ANC on if it thinks the buds are not in your ear so much of the time its not even worth taking them on my commute. These seem like a good option for cheap and cheerful ANC gym friendly set?

I previously bought a pair of buds with an ear loop to keep them secure when running for about €20 on Amazon and they turned out to be absolute crap and I stopped using them immediately, so I guess I'm wondering if these would fit the bill or should I cut losses and put towards a decent sub-€100 pair

I bought a second pair, excellent value.
