Creative Aurvana Trio Audiophile in-Ear Headphones with Hybrid Triple Drivers and Detachable MMCX Braided Cable

These are one of the most detailed sounding earphones I own... and i own a lot... an expensive but fun hobby. Like any IEM you'll need to give them a day or two for you to get used to their sound... some say burn them in for X hours which I'm not convinced of, but who knows. Never good to make an instant assessment or judgement.These are comfy and fit well. The cable is decent, but it does tangle quite a bit.Everything about the sound I like. Bass is deep and plays what is on the track. Mids are smooth and highly detailed... you will not miss much in your music with these babies... and you'll easily hear more than you've heard before. I've got MANY detailed earphones but I find these the most resolving and I'm comparing them to some stiff competition like Dunu DN 1000 and DN 2000, Final e4000, MEE Pinnacle 1, LZ A4 and various circa £100 Chinese banded earphones which are well reviewed. What's great though is they aren't cold or analytical, they don't use high amounts of treble to let you hear the finer details in music. Soundstage is very big and accurate.So if you are looking for a good multi genre, very detailed earphone with great sub bass and texture, organic sounding instruments, smooth articulate vocals... get these.UPDATE : If you aren't used to a brighter treble then you may find these a little aggressive up top at higher volumes. My right hand side cable also has stopped working properly (i need to turn it to a certain spot for sound to work, tried multiple cables and its nthe same) so I need to take a star off

I really liked these headphones, I have small ears and the ear buds sizes provided, included a small size that fit my ears perfectly, (which was not the case when I bought Sony ones where I had to order a seperate pack of earbud tips to get correct size for my ears). As well as these earphones fitting perfectly, they were very comfortable and sounded great. The problem came when I moved around with them, the sound would break up. I think it was something to do with the mmcx cable provided (not the earbuds themselves) Ultimately I decided to return them, if these were £30 headphones I would have put up with it, but not at £109.

The actual ear pieces are of top quality, sound and build wise and I could not be happier with them. However, within five minutes of opening I have discovered the cable is damaged, randomly disconnecting when moved or just by itself after an extremely small amount of time. I'm going to order a replacement cable from another buyer if I cannot get in contact with the company about getting a replacement itself, do not want to return them as from the small experience I've had with them has been great.This is a personal preference but they silicon earbuds are not great and I would recommend getting some foam ones instead, these earphones did come with some foam earbuds packaged inside with is a great plus from me.Altovether a great product, just let down by the cable itself being damaged.

Very good headphones but given the requirement to replace the lead with better quality to ensure reliability and sound you might fare better spending some more on other balanced armature products.

Excellent for the price.
