While your enjoying the pristine audio performance of the Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones, there are key technologies working seamlessly and quietly in the background so that the music that you are listening to is as close to its original clarity as possible.

The Aurvana X-Fi's technology is perfect for maximizing your digital

audio's quality. Take a product tour

The Creative Aurvana X-Fi’s on-board electronics encompass an advanced phase cancellation processing that makes use of a high-order active filtering network and audio compensation circuitry to dramatically block out up to 20dB or (90%) of ambient noise. A sensitive microphone, protected behind an acoustic grille within the earcup, constantly monitors and sends out background noise information for processing. An equal and opposite signal is generated by the headphone to counter the background noise. This way, almost all the undesirable background noise can be effectively reduced, leaving you to enjoy an unblemished music or soundtrack presentation. This processing works best in the presence of regular and low frequency background noises such as that on an airplane.

X-Fi Crystalizer Restores Quality to Your Digital Sound

Most downloadable music and movies are compressed--making downloads fast, and storage and portability convenient. The downside is that the quality and fullness of these songs and soundtracks are diminished, resulting in flat and lifeless sound. X-Fi Crystalizer technology restores the detail and vibrance to your compressed music and movies. All the highs and lows are intelligently enhanced so you’ll hear everything in crystal clarity. With the Aurvana X-Fi, you are not shortchanged even with today’s compressed audio tracks.

X-Fi CMSS-3D Puts You "Right There"

X-Fi CMSS-3D takes normal stereo signals and creates a truly cinematic surround sound experience. In-flight movies and DVDs become blockbusters of sound. Audio comes alive with vocals being centered, and ambient sound fills the space around you as if you were listening to a multi-channel home theater system. This delivers a more natural and less fatiguing listening experience to the user.



This review is from: Creative Aurvana X-Fi Noise-Canceling Headphones

I compared these headphones to the Bose QC2 headphones for about a week. I was trying to decide which ones to keep. I tried them at home, in an airplane, in busy streets, everywhere I could. It was a tough choice.

I had read other reviews online touting the Aurvana XF-I headphones as the best, and that they blew away the Bose. To my ears, that's not true. The XF-I technology DOES improve the sound of compressed audio, but teh Bose headphones also sound excellent without the XF-I technology. I also read that the Aurvana cans were louder as well; however, my experience was that the Bose were a lot louder -- and I just couldn't get the Aurvanas loud enough to really rock out.

In any case, the XF-I function really does work, and the sound was excellent (with the power turned on). I didn't think they were that special with the power turned off. So as far as sound quality, the Bose and the Creative were close, with the Creative slightly beating the Bose in quality, but the Bose beating the Creative in volume. Both the Bose and the Creative sound excellent, though.

Sound quality Winner: Toss-up with an advantage to the Aurvanas.

In comparing comfort, I found the Aurvana headphones to be bulkier and heavier. The Bose were so much lighter and more comfortable to wear.

Comfort Winner: Bose.

Sound leakage: My major complaint about the Aurvanas is that when turned up, people sitting near you can hear your music. You risk disturbing a fellow passenger with the Aurvanas. I found the Bose QC2 to be much quieter on the outside, keeping the sound in your ears, and not out into the world. Since I sometimes like to crank it up, this was an important consideration.

Sound Leakage Winner: Bose

Finally, I omapared the noise-canceling quality. Both headphones performed admirably, and it was tough to get a read on it, even after switching back and forth 10 or 20 times. The Aurvana headphones did seem a little more quiet in certain situations, but I'm not sure if that was my im...
