The Aurvana Trio LS might suit you if you prefer a wired connection, are looking for earbuds with a dynamic driver type for good audio reproduction, and require a detachable cable. They have good comfort and noise isolation, making them suitable for environments with some ambient noise. However, they lack wireless capability and have no app support for customization. On the other hand, the Outlier Air V3 is wireless and supports AAC for better audio quality with Apple devices. These earbuds are sweatproof and have active noise cancelling, which is a major plus for travel and exercise. They offer excellent build quality, very good battery life, including a case that provides additional charges and supports wireless charging. An app can customize the Outlier Air V3's controls, but their soundstage and imaging scores are lower, possibly impacting the quality of spatial audio reproduction. Consider your primary activities and preferences: if you want freedom from wires, long battery life, and are active or travel often, the Outlier Air V3 is your pick. If you favor wired listening and prioritize sound quality and a good fit over wireless convenience, the Aurvana Trio LS would be the better choice. Give Feedback

Forbes

Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."

Trusted Reviews

Kob Monney | July 2022
"The V3 present the best version of the Outlier Air series yet. The new features such as Active Noise Reduction and Ambient mode are integrated well; the performance of both is as good as you’ll get below £100. The design is less bulky and more comfortable thanks to being smaller and lighter, and the Outlier Air V3 eke out more clarity, detail and definition from music."
