Smartphones have always been let down by inferior headphones. As a result, you’re not milking the full potential your smartphone has to offer when playing videos or music on your beloved multimedia companion.
Creative is only too happy to lend a helping hand by releasing a new range of iPhone-tailored options.
They’re in ear headphones which passively eliminate background noise and prove compatible with iOS and Android devices by coming equipped with inline controls and a microphone.
“Quality sound brings interactive digital experiences to life and our new range offers crystal clear reproduction while blocking out distracting ambient noise,” said Lorant Corba, Australia and New Zealand Country Manager at Creative.
Four new headphones make up Creative’s new range. Check out the range according to Creative’s official press release.
