Featuring LE Audio with LC3 codec, 10 mm dynamic drivers, Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) with Ambient Mode, Bluetooth 5.3, and AAC audio codec, as well as extended battery life, these earbuds provide users with a truly upgraded audio experience without breaking the bank.
Paving the way for the future of wireless audio and at the same time, expanding the ecosystem, the Creative Zen Air Pro and Creative Zen Air Plus incorporate Bluetooth LE Audio to allow users to enjoy a superior wireless audio experience at significantly lower bitrates and power consumption. Beyond that, LE Audio also supports Broadcast, allowing users to enjoy seamless audio sharing to an unlimited number of compatible devices, providing enhanced connectivity for the perfect movie night with family and friends.

Equipped with 10 mm custom-tuned dynamic drivers, both the Creative Zen Air Pro and Creative Zen Air Plus deliver an immersive audio experience with deep bass and balanced tunes for an all-encompassing audio experience.
