Non mi servo di ANC e trasparenza, utilizzandoli in ambienti tranquilli. Quindi non saprei valutare queste caratteristiche.
Buoni con le telefonate , anche se altri auricolari forniscono forse un suono pi corposo, nell’ascolto della musica che sono entusiasmanti: suoni precisissimi, permettono di percepire chiaramente i diversi strumenti e la loro timbrica. Da WOW !
Bassi ben presenti.
Sono leggeri, esteticamente piacevoli, buona durata della batteria. Assente l’audio spaziale.
Consigliati.

I ordered these for the gym and specifically needed something that I barely notice (feeling in the ears), that drowns out the environment and lets me focus – Something I can wear and forget, while not worrying about charging.
This ticks all those boxes:
—————————–
* Sounds fantastic. Whether audiobooks, classical, pumping trance and dubstep, to heavy metal. All the highs and lows were crisp, clear and no discernible distortion at a comfortable volume.
* Feels fantastic. My sweaty ears and narrow ear canals didn’t complain at all after hours of usage. Running on the treadmill, do doing lunges. They stayed put and felt comfortable.
* Good battery life. I use these for about 3 hours each day, so charge it once a week. Only takes about an hour to fully charge. USB-C is a bonus.
My only gripe:
—————–
* Finnicky controls – Probably because I have bear hands and trying to use dainty little things. My fingers trying to prod the controls really takes a lot of concentration. So I use the phone more than the controls.
Anyway the sound is great, I’d say neutral like Bose QuietComfort 35 II but with little bit more bass.
ANC and transparency mode both work well.
Haven’t tested the microphones yet.
No connectivity issues with iPhone 15.
I think the oval silicone shape helps them to stay in the ear, I kept the size that was on out of the box and the seal is perfect.
So far the only negatives I can think of the build quality, my cheaper Samsung galaxy buds feel more premium, and the charging case feels a bit cheap, especially opening lid is unsatisfying, but it’s mostly the sound quality that I care about and these might be the best sounding earbuds in this price range.
I wish I could test them with aptX Adaptive but I haven’t got a source that would support it, but they sound great over AAC from iPhone.
I paid 108 after a discount here, the Aurvana 2 are 165 on creative’s website and the only difference is AptX Lossless – I’ll be using these with my iPhone so don’t need to pay extra for it.
Pro tip:
I thought one of the earphones was faulty as whenever I listened to Spotify and then paused the music and took one off and hold it in my fingers for a few seconds, when I put it back in and resumed the music on the iPhone, only the other earphone (that I kept in my ear) would play continue playing, but the one I had off for a bit wouldn’t play again. Turns our if you tap and hold it for like 5-10 seconds when nothing’s playing, it turns off that earphone, so then you have to tap and hold again to switch it back on, or put it back in the charging case for a second.
This set of earbuds from Creative Labs is pretty fantastic. First of all they look great, they feel to be made to a higher quality and they work brilliantly.
The earbuds have amazing sound quality, excellent depth and easy to use controls. They are sweatproof and come with a range of intelligent audio features. The ANC is pretty impressive for earbuds, they are IPX5 rated and they can last up to 24 hours from a single charge.
Price point for me is the only sticking point, with a 135 price tag at the time of writing this, I’d say it’s a bit high. I think around the 100 mark is a fair price for a set of quality earbuds like this.
We’ve had many Creative Labs products before so I knew these were going to be a quality product. I got them for myself as I am in need of a good pair and have only ever really had cheap ones in the past.
So, after using these for a few weeks now, there are things I love and some things I don’t. First up, they are super easy to set up. I connected them to my phone with ease and have found no connectivity issues since. The buds sit comfortably in my ears and even after wearing them for prolonged periods, there is no discomfort. The case is small enough to sit in my pocket and it holds charge well. I’m not sure how long it takes to fully charge and there are no LED readouts like on one of my cheaper pairs, which I used to find handy to see when I needed to charge it.
The sound quality is what I would expect from this brand – great, and the volume goes up to a satisfactory level. I have no issues with the quality at all, my main problem is working the controls at the sides of the buds. For a start, until you learn and remember how many taps/holds and on which side, you will have to constantly refer to the instruction leaflet to see what does what. Even when I carefully did as instructed, it doesn’t always work, for example, to pause or play the song you have to double tap on the right bud but I find it doesn’t always respond and I’m sat there tapping away at my ear for ages. I can then find I’m pausing and unpausing until I get it right, lol. Sometimes the commands work seamlessly but others, you’re messing about. I sometimes get so frustrated I just pick my phone up to use them from that. The noise cancelling feature works well but it’s not something I mess about with or have the need for so don’t tend to use this feature. I actually think an app might have been useful so you could access it to control everything from there but then that may be more of an inconvenience for most.
All in all, I think these are a fabulous quality set of in-ear headphones and maybe the younger generation are a lot more au-fait with this kind of thing and be able to use them like it’s no big deal, but for myself, I just wish they were a little more user friendly. Other than that, it’s a strong 4/5
I’ve never owned Creative headphones before, but back in the day I used to like their Soundblaster soundcards, so I was intrigued to try these Aurvanas.
Good:
+ Clear and detailed sound. I’d say the profile is pretty balanced without an obvious bias to bass or treble. They’ve felt suitable for all genres of music and the midrange clarity makes podcasts and audiobooks easy to understand.
+ They get plenty loud enough for most settings, especially when paired with the ANC.
+ Stereo separation and sound staging is also good for in-ear headphones. If a track is meant to sound spacious, airy, echoey etc, it does.
+ Quick and reliable bluetooth connection. Setting up was a breeze and I haven’t had any issues with one headphone being connected while the other isn’t – a fairly frequent occurrence with earlier true wireless buds.
+ Sleek battery case that provides a lot of juice. The case is pebble-like and feels good in the hand.
+ The ANC is fairly effective at reducing steady background noise. I haven’t been on a plane with them yet, but the cancellation has been quite effective on my tram commute.
+ The fit has been good and they’ve yet to fall out while I’m moving around.
Mediocre:
= The orientation of the buds in the case seems a little odd to me, since they’re opposite to how they’re inserted in the ear, so the buds need to be rotated prior to being stored.
Bad:
No major marks against these.
Overall, this is a good set of wireless buds that reproduce audio pleasingly and operate reliably.
