+1 more for the CAL...excellent value. Very nice sound signature with no glaring issues.

Never got the 'Portable' designation but I prefer low profile on-ears for that.

Yeah, I only use mine at home.  Ultra comfortable.  Not the best on isolation and seem a little fragile (thus the home use).

Ha, ha.
 
I've always wondered how the CAL compared to the Creative Aurvana Live, I had heard so many positive things about both phones.
 
Duh. I just realized they are the same thing.

I purchased the Creative Aurvana Live 2 a short while ago for $140, and it's a good headphone. I understand the CAL 1 sounds similar, so is a good deal at $68 or less.
 
I'd say the CAL2 has a musical, fluid, but slightly loose sound. Very listenable. What keeps it out of the top tier for me is that the sound signature slightly lacks conviction and a little bit of solidity.
 
But it's a very nice, very listenable headphone. Well worth the sale price.

By the way, the Creative Aurvana Live 2 is going for $109.58 from Amazon right now. Free shipping with Prime, and also without Prime because it is above $35.

According to camelcamelcamel, the lowest price for this headphone on Amazon was $103.45, so this seems like a good deal.
 
I bought mine a while back for $140. Wish I got it at this current price!
