"If you’re looking for an affordable set of in-ears that will give you the performance you’re looking for, and the isolation you crave in the outside world, the Creative Aurvana In-Ear3s are a great choice for a first-time buyer."

"They use dual balanced armature drivers with a dedicated woofer, which gives them much more bass presence than most similarly priced balanced armature earphones... Their large bodies give a pleasingly secure fit whether you use silicone dome or foam sound-isolating tips..."

"...when it comes to sheer audio quality, I have not yet come across an in ear at the same price point which can compete alongside the Aurvana In Ear 3. This should be considered a top contender for audiophiles and music lovers looking to not exceed the price of their iPod on a great set of in ears. Truly magnificent work from Creative Labs!"

"And we're happy to report that the Creative Aurvana In-ear3 earphones are pretty good, too. They're noise-isolating rather than noise-cancelling, and they do a fantastic job of blocking out external noise... Sound quality is head and shoulders above most bundled earphones, and obviously a lot better than ones that cost a bit less."
