I've auditioned the first Aurvana a couple of times, and I've always liked it, but never purchased it.   Anyway, this new Aurvana is so good! I believe the drivers are the same as the first model, but these are definitely tweaked.   The sound signature is V-shaped, so it's more of a "fun" headphone. Neutralists won't like it, althought it's not over colored like some other Cans.   Vocals are airy and the soundstage is really good. I was seriously surprised to hear this kind of instrument separation from a Creatíve headphone.   Maybe the price...
