4.0 out of 5 stars Sound Nirvana, October 21, 2011

(What's this?)

Sound quality is very important to me so I've auditioned many headphones over the years. After trying a set of Creative Aurvana Live! headphones, I found them to be a solid performer. They easily hold they're own against other sets in the mid-level price range.

I often listen to music for hours at a time so comfort is important. Because of their light weight and soft cushions, the headphones were easy to wear for extended periods of time. The ear pads rested comfortably on my ears without putting too much pressure on them.

I wanted to make sure these were appropriately burned in before writing this review, so after approximately 50 hours of listening, I can say the sound reproduction of these was great. At first, the highs were a bit shrill and the bass a bit muddy, but once the drivers were burned in, they produced a balanced sound. The bass was not too boomy, the vocals stood nicely in the foreground, and the highs were clear. The soundstage was not as broad as I would have liked but this was probably due to the closed design. However, because of the closed design, the headphones are able to prevent you from disturbing anyone. This is very helpful when listening in bed while you're other half is asleep.

Even though the headphones are mostly constructed out of plastic, they still feel sturdy. There is a shiny black outer casing on the ear cups that give these a sleek look and feel. The cord is pliable and fairly short, so when your portable music player is in your pocket, any extra length of cord won't get tangled up. There is an included extension cord which is nice. These headphones also come with a small tote bag and a 1/4" stereo plug for use with a home receiver, simple but thoughtful additions to the product.

The Creative Aurvana Live! headphones are an impressive set at this price. I'd highly recommend them.

Let me start by saying I am totally happy with these headphones. They are ultra-comfortable, sound quality is nice, and they look great. Keep in mind these are not professional quality headphones. The sound quality is pretty good, just not quite the level of the Sony studio monitor headphones. That said, if you just want some headphones to use for gaming or casual music listening then this kit is more than adequate. There is some bass, a nice range of sound and it is generally crisp and clear. I sampled a number of different electronic genres ranging from ambient to trance to dubstep, and it all sounded good. I also played some different games using these headphones and they hold up. They are also probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, and that says a lot. Even wearing glasses they do not put any pressure on my ears at all. They are also pretty light and unobtrusive. The cord is rather short (which I like). Works well if you have a jack on your desk within arms length but it comes with an extension cord if necessary. Really I don't think I could be more happy with them. If you are producing audio you may want to look at the higher end, but if you are just a casual user you can't go wrong with these headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like attending a live concert!, October 26, 2011

From my husband: "I opened the box with the ear phones and told my wife that I would just be a few minutes. I told her that I wanted to try them for a few minutes. I put the ear phones on, plug it into my IPAD and ITunes and planned to briefly explore the sound with a wide variety of music (country, folk, movie themes, Latin hymns, great masterpieces, holiday music and the list went on). Three hours later she nudged me and said that a few minutes was now 3 hours. These Ear Phone are the most comfortable I have ever tried, I do not feel them when they are on. The sounds they produce are rich and when I listen to orchestras I could clearly hear the different instruments. I am not a musician so forgive me for my layman explanation-with pieces where you have a sound slowly build up and then become the main sound in a piece, you can clearly hear the instruments that are building the sound. There is no static or distortions. Now when I put them on my wife waves goodbye because I will be absorbed in the music for hours."
