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 --...

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.

While it sounds significantly different form the original Aurvana Live, the new Aurvana Live 2 is also a very good over-the-ear headphone value.

Creative Aurvana Live! 2 Headphones - A Welcome Update

The original Aurvana Live! headphones were well received by audiophiles looking for a good set of headphones without breaking the bank. We find out if the Aurvana Live! 2 lives up to it's pedigree in our review.

Very comfortable ; Strong bass ; Competent attack ; Good value considering the price

Bass heavy, performs best with faster paced music ; Narrow soundstage ; Included volume control has a tendency to throttle the performance

The sound signature is such that the headphones are slightly warm and smooth through the midrange, but as we mentioned, there’s plenty of bass for those thumping beats, which means the headphones lend itself best to faster and more upbeat genres of...

Creative Labs Aurvana In-Ear 2 Earphones

Every time that you buy a new MP3 player or some other similar device, you usually get a "free" set of bundled headphones. The bad news is that these are ...

Simple and classy design with compact drivers ; Cool travel case with slots for earphones ; Good noise isolation ; Loads of included rubber eartips

Less than impressive bass response ; Somewhat “quieter” than other earphones ; Distortion at higher volumes ; Requires higher power sources to shine (which limits its range of devices to be paired with)

Of course, this isolation also gives the headphones the “crunchy foods” effect where your chewing is amplified through the ear canal. A compromise of this type of design if you will when it comes to snacking and relaxing to your music. A better choice...

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...
