Product Description
The Creative Aurvana Live! are the latest in a line of headphones from Creative. They sit nicely alongside the brand's existing Zen Aurvana headphones, which are in-ear, and their noise-cancelling Aurvana X-Fi headphones. The Aurvana Live! headphones are on-ear headphones that offer good quality at a mid-range price.
The Aurvana Live!s have a fairly simple and basic design; they are made from black plastic, have black padded ear cups in faux-leather. The headband is adjustable, and the ear cups swivel slightly for added comfort. Overall, reviewers found the Aurvana Lives comfortable to wear. However, a tester at www.digitaltrends.com noted that wearing the headphones for an extended period of time made ears uncomfortably hot. This seems to be a problem with all closed-back earphones and not just the Aurvanas, but this may be an annoyance for some wearers.
The sound quality of the Aurvana Lives is generally good. A reviewer at headphones.reviewed.com noted that these headphones are 'solid performers'. In tests, they were able to handle high levels, mid-levels, and bass; the bass, in particular, was strong without becoming distorted or muddy. They work well with both smartphones and iPods.
Several extras are included with the Aurvana Lives. They have a 6.3 mm adaptor, a carry pouch, and an extension cable. The 6.3 mm adaptor is particularly useful as it means the headphones can be used with an amp or Hi-Fi. The extension cable means that it is easier to move around while using the headphones, and the carry pouch will stop them from getting scratched while being transported. They weigh in at 7.4 ounces so they are fairly heavy compared to competitors.
In conclusion, these headphones are ideal for music lovers who like to listen to their tunes via a Hi-Fi or amp. They are not well-suited for carrying around or travel due to their bulky design but are good for home use. Some users may find their lack of in-line controls and a microphone to be a problem, but the sound quality on offer at their mid-range price should make up for this.
