Do not EVER buy direct from Creative Labs I recently ordered an audio related bluetooth dongle from Creative Labs. It took several days to arrive. It didn't work as advertised on their site and caused compatibility issues with my non-audio bluetooth devices. Upon attempting to return it, I was told that this was not considered a device issue and that any return would be on my dime. When I complained about this (there was clearly an issue with device compatibility despite what their site says) I was told "We will take this as a feedback. Rest assured that all the feedback are looked into as we strive to improve our customer's experience with us. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused." So I had to pay $11 to return a $39.00 item. My thoughts: Creative doesn't stand behind their products, doesn't care about customers and their customer service is a joke. This is what I get for buying direct instead of going through Amazon.

Customer service is lacking Customer service is lacking Great products, but expect zero assistance from their ‘sales support team’ Expect to do any work yourself regarding purchasing or returning, their team is not interested I. Helping with either task

Very good products and service I can't understand all the negative reviews, my experience of Creative is with the Outlier ear buds which are very good for the price range. Over a number of years I have purchased (and still have in working condition) the basic Outliers, a set of Gold's and V2's, and more recently two pairs of V3's the best so far. I have had to contact Creative tech support twice in that time and on each occasion the response has been quick and solved the problem. (Thanks Marian for the latest help 25/8/22 you have my vote).

Creative labs updated the android sound… Creative labs updated the android sound blaster central app such that it crashes on launch. When I contacted them for support they annouce they have no plans for further development. Look at the real reviews in the play store. Spend your money elsewhere.

Want quality that lasts? AVOID Creative My dad bought me the Creative iRoar Speaker as a birthday present during lockdown but after 3yrs, all of a sudden it would no longer hold a charge and often shuts down due to saying its overheated when not even warm. I contacted Creative, they gave me 2 "fixes" which didn't work, after going back they then saw it wasn't within 2yrs and thats that, tough luck. So the moral of the story is, if you want a product thats going to last long, avoid Creative.
