Creative Labs has made quite a name for itself in the digital audio market, first with its Sound Blaster sound cards for the PC and continuing with its excellent line of Zen MP3 players. That said it makes sense that the company has delved into headphones as well. The latest set to hit the market, called the Aurvana Live, is designed with the idea that you may want to listen from analog as well as digital sources. These headphones may not be Bose in name or sound, but they deliver good comfort and solid audio quality for a relatively
affordable.
Headphones for serious high quality music listeners
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.
X-Mini Happy
The X-Mini Happy is a great little speaker that offers a creative all-in-one solution with an integrated MP3 player and a cable for attaching external audio sources. If you want to share music on the go, this is a great option.

The good:
The X-Mini Happy features an innovative all-in-one design with an impressive-sounding speaker and a built-in MP3 player. The unit comes with an SD card slot and an SD-to-microSD adapter, and it can be daisy-chained with other speakers. A stowaway line-in cable on the bottom makes it easy to attach to other audio sources.
Fantastic sound for such a small device, it literally vibrates around the table at full blast! Pops up to play, then you can shrink it to store. Takes an SD card of up to 8GB? Comes with 2 GB card.
The bad:
The integrated MP3 player on the X-Mini Happy has no navigation options or organization. The speaker always starts up at the loudest volume.
Always starts at full volume which is annoying. It is not on shuffle as the review says, it is sequential. Would be nice to have both options. When you plug the headphones in it plays through the speaker as well unless you press the mute button.
Creative Aurvana In-ear Earphones
With in-ear headphones all the rage now, it didn’t surprise us when audio-centric Creative Labs joined the fun with the launch of its own Aurvana in-ear earphones. These AU$130 “anti-iPod black” headphones are extremely lightweight at just 13g and low profile, and they sound quite good. That’s if they fit in your ears properly some in the CNET offices had earholes that are too small for the Aurvana.
You get two pairs of three different-size silicon earbuds of the rubbery kind. Though we prefer foam tips, they fit quite well, passively blocking ambient noise (by 90 percent, according to Creative) and delivering clean, balanced sound. Indeed, high-end sounds come through crystal clear. The Aurvanas have a frequency
response of 20Hz to 20kHz and a sensitivity of 115dB and 20dB at noise blocking. Bass is surprisingly solid, and overall performance is good.
The 1.2m cable doesn’t easily get tangled and the earbuds are so light that you can let one hang out of your ear if you need to monitor the outside world. They would match up quite nicely with the recently released Zen Digital Media Player.
The Aurvanas include a Y-junction slider for optimal cable management, and they ship with the mentioned earbuds, an airplane adapter, an ear-gunk cleaning tool, and a travel case.
