As we said earlier, the product comes folded and it’s made out of good quality plastic and matte finish. The overall weight is 271g, which should be low enough not to cause you headaches, even at long listening periods.
The rotating mechanism is also plastic, which is a good thing that keeps the weight low, however users should be careful not to step upon them. The headband while its plastic, at the inside there is a steel-reinforced adjustable inner core that forms the backbone of the headphones, plus padded memory foam headband, and 90° swivel ear cups.
The adjustable headband goes up to 2.5cm for each side with 0.5cm step.
Each earcup has the word L / R for left/right ear and the outshell is made out of synthetic leather, which someone would like or not.
Inside at each earcap, users will find custom 40 mm Neodymium drivers, while Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is also present reducing external noises up to 95% (which is good). According to its specifications, the Frequency Response is 20–20,000 Hz (covering all human hearing), the Sensitivity (1 kHz / mW) reaches 117 dB and the Impedance is 32Ω. Creative states that the used custom-tuned dual 40 mm full-range Neodymium drivers, produce accurate bass with a warm sound signature and crisp, clean highs. Together with a built-in noise-cancelling microphone you can chat with ease as they prioritize picking up your voice as you speak, especially when activating voice assistants from your device.
At the outside there is the Creative logo "printed" white with gold accents used for logo and text, with several holes for the included microphones (x5) that will be used for the ANC functions.
Getting closer to the headphone, we can see various buttons at the right headphone,
while at the left there is only the USB Type-C charging port.
