Can't seem to find any information anywhere, but this popup

came up when I visited the creative site. A new portable player perhaps?

epizenter.net says its Aurvana Air earphones.

Not as exciting as a new player, imo.

 

[GN85]

Ah... could be, but what's with the image? Doesn't look like earphones to me.

It looks like they are trying to be witty with words. Acostic=acoustic=chap(lip)stic?

It looks like you transport it hanging around your neck.

I think the cover comes off and it is a sound card that uses a USB connection.

It could also be part digital audio player, possibly one that runs the headphone wires through the cord around your neck, so the user doesn't have to deal with slack

Earbuds it seems...

Same pic but i little more clear. Before i though i was an mp3 player but after that don't really have a clue, would say earbuds or a wire from an mp3 player.

Heck yeah, i can see those earbuds in the main pic.
I really was wishing was something else, like a full size headphone or mp3 player, i don't really use much earbuds.

Earbuds? From Creative? Acoustic masterpiece?


I call marketing shenanigans.

Monster did some wonders with the Turbines apparently, so there is no need to cast doubt on these, yet.

Regardless I love the design. Not sure about those thin ear hooks though. B&O's A8 solution is far more elegant and seems more durable.

I signed up to be emailed when they were released, just got that email. Here's a nice big pic of them.

Bang & Olufsen A8 re-brand?

 

[i_don't_know]

...fail?

At least they look pretty...but not worth the $200 price tag I'm sure. I could be surprised but I'm not betting on it. Earbuds with an ear clip never stay properly seated in my ear to give me the full range of sound the buds are capable of.
