Creative Aurvana Live! SE – Over-Ear Headphones with Padded Headband and Leatherette Earpads, Expert-Tuned Foster Drivers, Super X-Fi Certified for Optimized Cinematic Audio Experience

Certainly best headphone sub $100, and arguably best sub $200 headphone in the market. Full sound, crisp vocals and instruments, deep powerful bass. Its literally the perfect headphone. Most comfortable headphone Ive ever owned. Sleek design, I love it.

When I started buying and recommending the Creative Aurvana Live! headphones they sold between $59 - $65 and were a bargain for the sound and comfort. I just bought a standby set for $29 and almost feel like a thief. There are some changes between the SE and original Aurvana Live! On the SE the chrome band around the ear cups has been removed and now the ear cups are a solid piece of plastic. The padding on top of the headband has been reduced and Creative removed the padding that extended a little further down the sides of the headband. The SE are noticeably lighter than my original Aurvana Live! headphones. One area that doesn't seem to have been compromised is the sound quality. They still sound great for a $59 headphone and sound unbelievable for a $29 headphone if you find them on sale like I did. Highly recommend these if you just need a basic, comfortable headphone, that sounds great and doesn't break the bank in the process.

These headphones exist for one reason: give you obnoxiously good sound in the cheapest, dirt-nastiest package that could be made. These are crazy-good biocellulose drivers housed in nasty plastic cans, and somehow it works stupid-well. For sound quality alone, these are better than $200 cans... however -all- you're getting is sound quality. These are vinyl-padded on-ears with nearly everything made of plastic (there's a metal strip in the headband). They're not terrible, but it's obvious where your money is going and where it's not. If the price on these is impulse-buy territory for you, these are an easy grab. I don't know that I'd recommend them as your only set of headphones, but you should find some way to give them a listen. For some reason Amazon asks about noise cancellation to write a review... these aren't noise cancelling. If you're going for isolation, they wouldn't be my recommendation. They're close back and do block a bit of sound, but they're on-ear not over-ear, which means there's still sound that is going to get through. In this price range, if isolation is what you're after, get IEMs as they'll act like earplugs.

ok, i know everyone loves this headphone because of the value it brings, and how it sounds, but i find the headphone really uncomfortable to wear for any period of time. my ear start hurting, after about a hour, the ear cup is too small it really compress my ear to a point that it hurts, also the cheap material makes this headphone super hot after a while. to sum it up PROS 1. Price and value is okay 2. sounds really good, better than some headphone costing 2x 3x as much CONS 1. hurts my ear after a hour, uncomfortable 2. attached wires on both drivers, if those wires break the headphone is going to the trash. i prefer detachable wires. 3. cheap build, cheap material, becomes very hot on the head and ear after a hour I say its worth a buy, if you never had a pair of headphone that sounds good, (yes i am talking about beats, creative aurvana live sounds 10x better)

I bought a pair of these back around July 2022. It is now February 2024 and they have finally broke. The plastic connecting the speaker to the headset band broke to be exact, the sound is still fine. Honestly they have survived a lot longer than those expensive kinds I have had in the past and they aren't super bulky. Wireless with optional wire connections tended to lose sound in one ear or the other and required 2 plugs to operate, but this did not. I would say they are worth the money. I paid roughly $50 for them and I had them for 19 months, so the monthly cost of them was about $2.60 per month of use and I pretty much used them constantly.

The headphones came in and i was shocked . I use to use some beat down beats that i have had for like the last 3 years . Its obvious its a huge changed to these new headphones . But comparing the comfort on these two , its a huge change . First off , the ear muffs circle your ears nicely , with a tight and firm grip . The are well padded , and even the head starp is padded quite nicely. Its a easy box unboxing , with just a couple pieces of tape to get through . Overall , good headphones for the price , i really reccomend if you are trying to find headphones for 50 dollars .

sound quality awesome- bass is satisfying and immersive. super comfy pads with a bit of sound block. the wire doesnt kink either, its the best headphone investment!

To listen music mostly vocals , I use my sound blaster G6 to amp it . great sound fun headphones great price . fits tight around the ears . but if it will change the sound don't change it .

Warm U-shape. Solid technical performance, and decent soundstage/ imaging for a closed back. Amazing and punchy bass; probably the best bass for under $200. Sound quality was amazimg.

Sound quality is decent and they're wired which means none of the nonsense that comes from bluetooth headphones (while still being at a somewhat reasonable price). However, they're also really uncomfortable to wear; each ear has a different cushion mold and they never feel right. There's also little room between the cushion and the back of each speaker, so your ears will be pressed up against the fuzzy material (unless you've got really small ears). The headphone also don't allow for much extension with the retractable frame. So be warned if you've got a big head because they'll be squeezing your head with how small they are at max length. And in general the build is really cheap. The aux wire is also very short considering they're basically glued on forever and you can't replace them with a longer one (which also means if they break it's game over). I'd advise buying/using an aux extension and being careful not to break the attached headphone wire itself. If you doesn't really cares about the intricate detail of the audio quality like "the bass" and just wants an acceptable wired headphone, this isn't it. Especially for how uncomfortable they can be, you're better off just buying earbuds. Edit: After a few months I got used to the headphones. They now do the job well.

El sonido me pareció normal, nada especial, y la falta de aislamiento acústico hizo que no tuviera sentido utilizar auriculares cerrados. Todavía uso mis Sennheiser PX-100 por portabilidad, que lamentablemente ya no se fabrican, y cuando necesito aislamiento uso unos Anker Soundcore Q20+ que en realidad son muy buenos y no me causan tinnitus ni fatiga.

Buen sonido y audio, excelente para música. Pero podrían ser más resistentes, la parte de la diadema que une las almohadillas podría ser más gruesa. Por lo demás muy buen producto.

Usual quick delivery. Tested it on various sources. Great product. Possibly the best headset at this price
