Creative Aurvana In-Ear 2 headphones

Creative continues to punch itself into the headphone space with an update to their Aurvana In-Ear models, appropriately named the In-Ear 2. As the name suggests, they are an in-ear model, making bold claims of blocking 95% of external noise, but not...

Sound quality, build quality, choice of silicon tips

Cable noise

Comfortable, good quality construction, great sounding audio and with those little extras like the case and accessories, the Aurvana In-Ear 2s should be a serious consideration for those looking to upgrade their headphones without stepping over the...

Aurvana Live 2 headphone (review): Impressive sound and comfort for less than $100

While it sounds significantly different form the original Aurvana Live, this new model is also a very good over-the-ear headphone value.

The Creative Aurvana Live 2 is a very comfortable and affordable over-the-ear headphone that sounds great for the money. It has an inline remote/microphone for making cell-phone calls.

It looks a bit plasticky.

Aurvana In-Ear 2

These noise cancelling earbuds from Creative start with a puzzle, how do you get them out of the very solid packaging, the answer lies in a small sheet that lives inside the packaging. Having spent a while solving the puzzle the result was worth the wait.

They are of the ear stuff type which as they are noise reducing they have to be, they come with three sizes of silicon plugs that should fit anyone from an older child upwards. A small 13 language manual should get most up and running as the most...

Review: Creative Aurvana In-Ear 2 Earphones

Don Bradbury upgrades an MP3 player's audio performance

Extended range of musical dynamic and frequency response; good noise blockage and cancellation; range of ear cushion sizes; carry case and toolkit

For us, the ear cushions tended to let the 'phones slip out of position

Admitting that the fit of these phones could well be a personal problem, and the cost of the potential upgrade would have been previously considered, plus the possibly reduced time between charges accepted, in terms of sheer listening experience, and...

Creative Aurvana Live!2

The affordable Creative Aurvana!2 delivers round low-end and clean audio in a comfortable over-ear headphone design.

Clean, powerful audio performance with rich bass and a focus on the midrange. Quite comfortable, even over longer listening periods. Detachable cable

High-mids and highs are slightly dialed back—audio could be a bit crisper

Creative's Aurvana Live!2 is a no-frills pair of over-ear headphones that offers rich bass response and a comfortable fit. At $129.99, the Aurvana Live!2 delivers laudable audio quality with a focus on the midrange. If you want booming bass, the...

Creative Aurvana Live 2 Black

Aside from the name, these two over-the-ear headphones don't share much in common. Creative has completely updated the design and while this new model feels a little plasticky, it's a very comfortable headphone and -- unlike the previous model --...

Creative Aurvana In-Ear2 Review: Clear, premium earphones that lacks balanced sound

Creative Aurvana is Creative's line of premium earphones. Aurvana's have been known in the past to offer a premium price for underperforming audio. We hope that the Aurvana In-Ear2's changes that perception.

Creative Aurvana In-Ear2 certainly wants to appear and appeal to the premium, audio aware category but doesn’t seem to really impress on that front. Creative has got the street price of the Aurvana In-Ear2 right this time around - Rs 5,600. However,...
