Can I use it in the rain?

It is IPX4 water resistant, so light rain and sweat are fine. It is not waterproof, so do not submerge it.

The earbuds, a USB-C charging case, a USB-A to USB-C cable, silicone ear tips in S, M and L, and a quick start guide.

Our take on the Creative Zen Air Plus

The Creative Zen Air Plus is a budget pair of true wireless earbuds with hybrid active noise cancellation, Bluetooth LE Audio and a 10 mm driver. It runs up to 32 hours total with the case, supports wireless charging, and has IPX4 water resistance plus a low-latency mode around 55 ms. It competes with other budget ANC earbuds on features rather than polish: LE Audio, Broadcast mode and wireless charging are rare at this end of the market, while noise cancelling and fit are the usual compromises.
