Say goodbye to what you don't fancy hearing and stay focused on your tasks at hand, or relax with just you and your playlist.
Be unstoppable with the Creative Outlier Air V3. The earbuds can last up to 10 hours on a single charge—and up to 40 hours together^ with its charging case—the question is, can you keep up?
^Actual battery life is measured with Ambient Mode and Active Noise Reduction turned off, and may vary depending on usage and settings.
Simply pop the earbuds back into the charging case and they will start to recharge automatically. The charging case is also wireless charging enabled and Qi-compatible, so you can place them on your existing charging pad* to recharge, or plug it into the USB-C cable that we've provided for your use and charge as per normal.
*Wireless charging pad not included. We recommend a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad of at least 5W for optimum charging speed.

Plus, having quad mics means Siri and Google Assistant won't have issues picking up your commands, so you can easily access the information that you need; just tap and talk. Dual-voice call lets you hear audio from both earbuds. You can also take your calls or command the voice assistants using either earbud—hands-free, no less.
We know that each of us functions differently, and so this means that you can take charge of the functions and customize your touch controls! On the Creative app via the Custom Buttons module, change and assign your preferred functions to the controls—whether it is a double tap, triple tap, or a long tap to skip tracks, adjust the volume levels, or activate the voice assistants and Noise Control features—personalize them your way.

Enjoy wireless audio on your PlayStation® or Nintendo Switch with BT-W3! Creative BT-W3 is a portable Bluetooth audio transmitter equipped with the latest Bluetooth version 5.0 and advanced audio codecs like aptX LL and aptX HD. With a simple plug-and-play functionality, you can easily enjoy high-quality Bluetooth audio with your PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, or upgrade your Bluetooth experience on PC and Mac with more stable connection and better voice calls.
Bluetooth 5.0
Latest Bluetooth version with extended range of up to 30m / 100 ft
aptX LL
Lag-free audio that is essential for an enjoyable gaming experience
Codec Selection
Indicator and selection button to effortlessly choose the suitable codec for your usage
Voice Chat
Analog microphone included to enable voice chat during multi-player games1
Multiple Device Support
USB C-to-A converter provided to enable usage across a wider range of devices
1 Works with devices with 4 pole 3.5 mm audio jack. Please note that voice chat for Nintendo Switch is title-dependent, and requires additional firmware to activate the analog microphone. Please refer to the FAQ section below for more information.
Creative BT-W3 supports 4 different Bluetooth codecs—aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX, and SBC. Each of the codec has its own strengths and is suitable for different use cases: aptX LL is essential for a lag-free gaming experience, while aptX HD is ideal for music enjoyment. With the indicator light and codec selection button, you can easily tell which codec you're using and switch to the suitable codec for your usage effortlessly.
aptX Low Latency
aptX HD
aptX
SBC
Creative BT-W3 works with Bluetooth headphones or speakers, and the codecs available to you are dependent on what your headphones and speakers support—i.e. you need a pair of headphones that support aptX LL to use it with Creative BT-W3! If you're unsure of the codecs supported by your Bluetooth devices, you either check its manufacturer website, or check our FAQ section below.
As long as your Bluetooth device support the corresponding codec, Creative BT-W3 will default to aptX LL first, with aptX HD next in priority, then aptX, and finally SBC.
Latency is a common problem with Bluetooth headphones due to the time required to decode audio. As a result, you may get out-of-sync audio while playing games or watching movies. With aptX Low Latency, you can say goodbye to that annoying lag! This audio codec is engineered to reduce latency to 30-40 milliseconds, which is practically indiscernible by humans. That is 4-6 times shorter than the amount of latency you get with the default SBC codec! Connect your aptX LL compatible headphones to Creative BT-W3 to enjoy seamless transmissions and real-time audio synchronization, without any sacrifice in audio quality!
Designed with convenience as the main goal, the setup for Creative BT-W3 can't be any easier.
Here's how to do it:
STEP 1:
Plug the Creative BT-W3 into PS4 / PS5 / Nintendo Switch / PC / Mac.
STEP 2:
Press Bluetooth button for 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes blue to indicate pairing mode. Go into pairing mode on your Bluetooth audio playback device as well.
STEP 3:
Wait for your device to connect with Creative BT-W3.
And you're done. In fact, you can skip step 2 the next time you want to use Creative BT-W3 with the same pair of headphones.
For devices with USB-A port, we've bundled a USB Type C-to-A converter to use with Creative BT-W3. Simply connect Creative BT-W3 to the converter first before plugging it into your device, and that's it. Then, you can follow the simple 3-step process above and you're done. Easy, huh.
"The Outlier Air V3 are Creative’s best true wireless yet. The Active Noise Reduction and Transparency mode are both well implemented, and sound quality is an improvement on previous models. Issues with touch controls and wireless connectivity still persist, but to a lesser extent. One of the best true wireless earphones below £100."
