Creative Aurvana In-Ear3

The Creative Aurvana In-ear3s cram a lot of performance in a tiny package.

Fantastic frequency response; Wide array of sleeves

No remote or mic

When it comes to entry-level headphones, very few cans give you a combination of performance and value like the Creative Aurvana In-Ear3s. Sure, they don’t give you the super-low distortion that audiophiles prize, but overall they’re a fantastic first...

Today we are taking a look at the latest in Creative's high quality Aurvana in-ear earphones range. The Aurvana In-Ear3 was created to offer studio quality performance with a unique design which we have not seen from earphones before.

The Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 offer great performance from portable media devices and excel with higher quality audio sources. In addition they look great and feel comfortable while being priced very competitively.

New Aurvana earphones provide excellent noise isolation

Great noise isolation ; Good sound clarity ; Cable isn't ridiculously long ; Comes with a case

Rubbery cables ; A bit ricey

Creative Aurvana InEar3

Sound quality is something that regularly gets overlooked.

Great noise isolation ; Good sound clarity ; Cable isn't ridiculously long ; Comes with a case

Rubbery cables ; A bit pricey

That said, shop around a bit and you'll find some models in other ranges from the likes of Shure, which offer similar sound quality for a lot less cash.

Creative Aurvana In-Ear Headphones

In-ear headphones have been taking off in recent years. What was once the domain of specialist headphone companies like Etymotic and Shure is now popu...

Nice highs, good balance between bass and treble, small and comfortable

Mid range sounds bloated and lacks detail, fatiguing to listen to

Creative's Aurvana in-ear headphones aren't the best headphones you'll ever hear, particularly if you listen to guitar driven tunes, but nonetheless they provide a comfortable and reasonable sounding alternative to your iPod ear buds.

Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3 review

We've always liked the way Creative's Aurvana earphones sound, but the previous models we've reviewed haven't always proved durable. The latest In-Ear3 earphones feel much sturdier, although the 1.2m cable connecting them to the 3.5mm stereo plug is...

Dual balanced armature drivers make these high-end earphones sound great, but they’re not the best in their price range

Really enjoyed these headphones...

I rarely give 5 star reviews, as very few products are near perfect, but I was very close to giving these headphones 5 stars. Never before have I gone back and forth between 4 and 5 stars so much. In essence, these headphones are nicely made, sound...

Good value for money

These are a bit fiddly to put in but very comfortable once they are in place. There are lots of different size & type ear pieces. I use the foam ones - just squish them up to warm them & make them a bit more pliable. A great sound for the size & the...

Aurvana

There are a couple of key elements in any review of noise isolating ear phones: 1. Do they sound good? 2. Do they insulate your ears from the depredations of the outside world? The Creative Aurvana In-Ear3s go some way to satisfying both conditions....
