Alright so after a lot of research I am trying to decide between the Creative Aurvana Live!, Bose AE2, or the Beyerdynamic DT250's. So a couple things you should know about what I have right now. Many moons ago I fell in love with the sound of the Bose Triports. In fact, I swear by them in the FPS games I play but that's just my personal opinion.
What I'm looking for is a replacement for my Triports as the leather on the earcups is practically disentegrated, I have exposed foam coming out of my ears, and I have both sides taped up - hahahah talk about nursing them. Now awhile back I tried the Sennheiser PC150's but wasn't overly impressed with them because they didn't have the feeling of "enveloping" my ears like these triports do wonderfully. I'm looking for something that goes around the ear, can hook up to my digital keyboard, can hook up to my X-FI XtremeMusic sound card, can listen to all genres of music, and have wonderful sound for movie explosions :). The bose seemed to do that for me so I have no complaints there. I loved them a lot. Problem is I don't really see any mention of them here nor a replacement for the triports. I know about the Bose AE2 and have tried them out in Target and love the feel of them. Sound wise, I am pretty much a newb to that but I guess you can say I liked the sounds that Bose has to offer my ears so whatever comes close to that :P.
So how about it my budget is about $200 but I can pick up a pair of Bose AE2's for under $80 on craigslist as I speak. I've never tried the Creative Aurvana Live so I have no idea how it sounds, feels, and fits. (I love Bose AE2 for it's fit). Unfortunately, I'm leaning away from the DT250's because it comes with a "coiled" cord and I don't need something that heavy. I want something light because I'll be wearing for extended hours. :) Any suggestions?
