How long does the battery last?

Creative rates the earbuds at up to 9 hours on a single charge. A 5-minute quick charge gives about an hour of use, and the case supports wireless charging.

Do I need a transmitter for low latency on PC?

For the lowest latency and Bluetooth LE audio on a PC, Creative lists its own Bluetooth LE audio transmitter, which plugs into a USB port. Standard Bluetooth works without it but with more delay.

Can I use them for running or in the rain?

Yes. They are rated IPX5, which handles sweat and light rain, but they are not meant for swimming or submersion.

Expect the earbuds, the charging case and ear tips; the Bluetooth LE transmitter is a separate accessory, so confirm contents with the seller before buying.

How do they compare with the original Zen Air?

The Pro adds hybrid ANC, wireless charging and a low-latency mode over the base Zen Air. If noise cancellation and wireless charging matter to you, the Pro is the one to get.

Is the Zen Air Pro worth buying?

It packs hybrid ANC, wireless charging, IPX5 and a low-latency mode into a budget in-ear pair. The trade-offs are the separate transmitter for LE audio on PC and a 10 m Bluetooth range.
