Outstanding value — can frequently be found online for despite being able to pass for a headphone costing three times as much. Unbeatable comfort. Deep ear cups with a wide range of motion made these the most comfortable in the test. Manages to deliver...

Creative Aurvana Live! review: Creative Aurvana Live!

Creative Aurvana Live!

The Aurvana Live headphones offer a comfortable design with little to no sound leakage. Sound quality is very good with a pronounced low-end, and Creative includes useful extras such as a cable extender and quarter-inch adapter.

The Aurvana Live's closed-back design can cause ears to sweat. The headphones don't fold down for easy transport, taking away from their portability.

The Creative Aurvana Live headphones offer balanced audio response and a comfortable, closed-back design that won't leak sound. They're a great choice for the average listener who wants to enjoy private audio in the home.

Creative Aurvana Live Headphones

The audio mavens at Creative seek to usurp the dominance of earbuds with an alternative that looks more impressive and sounds a hell of a lot better.

I'd be exaggerating if I said that these lightweight headphones should be the go-to pair for serious home listeners, but their versatility between sedentary and active use pleasantly surprised me. While the mere thought of wearing anything around my...

Review: Creative Aurvana Live! High-Definition Personal Audio

Of the two headphones, Aurvana Live! is unquestionably the better-sounding. Using bio cellulose diaphragm drivers to deliver what Creative claims is "revolutionary performance" for the price, the Live! headphones are surprisingly light by earcup-style...

Overall, Aurvana Live! is a nice-looking, very good-sounding, and reasonably priced pair of headphones that we'd recommend to readers interested in earcups for at-home listening, but as with most headphones, Live!'s suitability for portable use is...
