When worn, the lightweight headphone is designed for comfort and durability – it features an extremely flexible and durable headband construction with soft protein leatherette ear cushions. Customised for Creative Outlier, these soft ear cushions fit snugly on the ears for all day comfort.

The Creative Outlier also allows users to customise the look and feel of the headphones. The Creative Outlier comes in two colours: pristine white or bold black, but allows you to attach a pair of outlandishly coloured acoustic rings around each of the ear cups to personalise them according to your style. Keep the meticulously-tuned acoustic rings on for well-balanced audio with powerful bass. Remove them or replace them with a more acoustically porous alternative like Rainbow Loom® bands for more bass!

The Creative Outlier gives users the flexibility of customising the look of the headphones even further by allowing them to create their own ear cup attachments. For 3D printing aficionados, users can design and 3D-print their own acoustic rings to truly personalise their headphones! Visit creative.com/outlier to download 3D-print designs.
