Well, I once owned the Creative Aurvana in-ear phones (in another life, it seems). Didn't care much for them. Now, Creative has unleashed some new phones, and some hype-filled copywriting. Who will be the first to try them? Not me, not right now. They look like the B&O phones. Creative's past phones haven't inspired many Head-Fi accolades, but these phones are aesthetically nice. I would not mind giving them a listen (without buying, of course).

i've only owned 3 pairs of creatives, and bar the ep630's which i thought were O.K. each of them were a disaster sonically.

The air looks familiar, like some cheap Sony buds I saw in best buy i think....

The Aurvana AIR and Aurvana ICE do have something to prove at their price points. The ICE is more appealing to me since it offers isolation.

In the review, he compares them to the Sony MDR-V6. I checked the V6 (never owned them) and they are inexpensive on-ear fullsized phones that get very positive feedback on Amazon (260+ reviews). But I can't say, since I never heard them V6s.

No doubt the Creatives are overpriced, but I wouldn't mind hearing them just for kicks.
