Play with them for good sound.......2007-11-19

I received the Creative Aurvanas last night as a gift, and couldn't wait to try them out today.

This morning, after listening to about 3 or 4 songs, the sound was very narrow, no full sound at all. I thought I'd probably have to return them, but then looked at the reviews here. The differences in posts was shocking, with many saying there was no bass (my experience) and others saying that the bass was incredible.

I tried them again, but pushed them farther into the ear canal, and suddenly I had rich, full music, with loads of bass.

During the day, I listened to all sorts of music: Ella Fitzgerald, with a subtle bass backing vocal; Blue Man Group with their percussion; Yes, with Chris Squire's bass weaving in and out. And it all sounded good. Industrial, country (Charlie Daniels), classical, soundtracks, rock (the Beatles, My Little Dog China, Adam Again, and Saviour Machine among others) all passed the test. I'm very impressed with the Zen Aurvana.

The Aurvana's have good sound, with both highs and lows. But you have to play with the buds and make sure that they are in deep and secure in order to get the best sound.

Besides the sounds, the Aurvana's fit very nicely in the ear, and don't pop out when eating or chewing gum. They're also very comfortable.

The downside is that the wires are very thin, and pick up movements and bumps very easily. It's also easy to see how they have the potential to break easily in a short time.

Great Headphones!.......2007-10-23

I am very happy with these earphones, so much so that I bought myself a second pair for use at the office. They passively block tons of outside noise allowing you to enjoy the great sound quality without deafing volume levels. Simply put I was blown away when I bought these because I had never heard so much detail and clarity in my music.

I use the headphones on average between .5-4 hrs a day, for the last year, and I now own two pairs

Another great positive is the they are not white, so you do not look like all the lemmings, with their standard issue white ipod headphones

I only have two complaints:
1. If the cord rubs against your clothing or jacket zipper when walking or other activity, a fair amount of noise can be transmited to ear (this is like the old can and string telephone action) this can be annoying but generally ticking up the volume a notch or two will take care of this problem.
2. The headphones are so good that I cannot plug into any of the cardio machines at my gym, because they simply two loud using these headphone jacks, so if I want to listen to TV I have to bring my old crappy headphones.

Headphones work well to drown out other sounds but headphones can pick up the user's slightest movements. (Think of a stethoscope) No it will not pick up your heartbeat.

Very nice ear-buds. Sound good. Can play music at much lower levels than the ear-buds that come with an iPod.

Put them in your ears and noise comes out........2007-09-10

A lot of people complain about the fit and about the bass. As far as things crammed in your ear, these feel about as good as I imagine they could. Sound wise, they are about on par w/ the factory iPod phones. Their big advantage is that when you get a good seal in your ear they really do cut out all the ambient noise. But hey, they are just a cheap pair of 'phones. Don't expect them to change your world.

Tremendous Value.......2007-12-24

I have now purchased and listened to the two most expensive Shure Earbuds. They are great, but very costly and kind of big. I have the Dennon 700, the Sennheiser CX 300(also an unparalleled bargain), the Audio Technica CK7, Ultimate Ear (as of yet, not listened to), and the Bose earbuds(I hate them. They are uncomfortable with muddy base and indistinct sound).

I think that I enjoy the Creative Zen the best over all with the possible exception of the Shure 4c. The Creative has a very clear should that allows you to hear instruments with incredible clarity and presence. The upper end is sparkling and fun. The bass is very clear and a little punchy. These phones will never have the full bass of an excellent over the ear headphone. The sound seems richer than the Sennheiser 300. The sound might be ever so slightly colored compared to the Denon which seem very nuetral. The Audio Technica also seems to have a very neutral presentation.

I have to agree with what many of the reviewers have said when they express great disappointment that the sound is tinny or small sounding. It really is all in the fit. When I first bought the Shure 4c, I spent $300.00. I purchased them from an audiophile stereo shop. I paid full price. When I purchased them, I think that I got caught up with the thought that I was buying "the best" because they were so expensive. The salesman really did not explain how to use them properly and he used these foam rings around them to test them. I suspect that it was for hygene reasons and that they would throw out the foam rings. At home, I did not spend the time necessary to establish a good fit on the Shures. At the time, I thought that I had made a bad choice. Now that I know what I am doing putting them in, I do so much better. I think the Shures are wonderful.

The reason that I believe the Creative Zen Arvana's are so good really is the fit. Like the Shures, they are slightly angled,i.e the body is at an angle from the portion that extends into the ear canal. This allows you to really put the earphones deep into your ears and for the earphone to hang out of your ear in a comfortable manner. I have also found that they work better if you put the earphone in your hear by wrapping the cord over the back of your ear and inserting them from the top of the ear rather that just to stick them directly in your ear canal with the wire simply hanging down. It allows you to adjust the sliding piece so as to make the whole apparatus to fit reasonable snugly which is good if you are using them in the gym.

Lastly, unlike the Denon, Audio Technica, or Sennheiser earphones, they come with a little case that allows you to protect the earphones so that you might get year out of them without breaking them (if you do not lose them first). I have been using old cufflink boxes to put the Denon, Audio Technica, and Sennheiser earbuds into to protect them.

I've had these headphones for about six months and I didn't realize how good they were till a couple of days ago. I bought them for my forth deployment to Iraq/Afganistan and now they are history. Of all things do do them in, a field mouse. The little furball chewed them up and ruined them forever. Since I have very little choice but to buy something here(which is next to nothing), I got a $10 pair of Sony cheapies and now i know what I paid for. Yes the Creative had their quirks but based on what I have now, they were more than worth the extra money. solid bass(when fitted properly, you really need to do this), clear mids and highs. It did take a little to get use to them being in my ear, but after that everything was fine. Durability was not a problem. After a couple of training exercises and around three months in this less than perfect area to live in, they held up very well. If you are a little more serious about what you listen to and how you listen to it, these are a good starting point before entering the world of $200.00 to $500.00 sets of earphones.

Great sound.......2007-11-04

I bought these prior to a long international flight. They worked great and are very comfortable. They fit in the ear canal so need to be sure you have them in far enough to get good bass effects. they also give you an adapter to use with the jacks on the plane and this made using the plane entertainment system much better. They give you a case but it wont hold the adapter jack, cleaning stick or spare ear pieces. that would be helpful. also there is not a seperate volume adjustment and that would be helpful as well. however, overall i rate these very good for sound quality and they do a good job of blocking out the background noise.

creative zen aurvana.......2007-09-23

i have had many headphone especially in ears and for the money these are the best of them all the lows could be lower but the highs are there i would definately recoomend these headphones to anyone willing to spend the money for them

Are You Folks Listening to the Same 'Phones?!.......2007-06-21

Guys, come on now. I'm by no means an audiophile, but when headphones that cost $120+ (CAD) start distorting at moderate volumes on a piano concerto, there isn't much room for argument. These headphones are among the worst quality I've ever heard, especially for their price range. The bass is muddy and seems detached from the music, as at higher volumes, the bass comes out as almost background noise. The high end is shrill and overpowering, I actually got a mild headache from using these headphones.

I used these for a day at work (office setting), listening to various genres of music including classical, hip hop, heavy metal, progressive rock, etc. The only genre that these did nicely in is techno, and even then I didn't get the bass response needed. After that day of work, I returned them (the same day I bought them). Piffle.

DO NOT BUY these, look elsewhere for high-end earbuds.
