Aurvana Trio

While dual-driver earbuds are becoming popular, the Creative Aurvana Trio prove that more is better. With their triple driver setup, you’re definitely getting those “detailed highs, normal vocals, and accurate bass” that Creative claims. Quite possibly the best sounding earbuds I’ve used to date, the Creative Aurvana Trio easily earn a Top Pick of 2018 Award here at Techaeris.

When I popped on these Creative Aurvana Trio headphones my ears perked right up. The sound was anything but ordinary. The clarity and open quality was special, and truly remarkable for a headphone that retails for $150 (£130)... I fell for the Creative Aurvana Trio big time, because it checked all of the audiophile boxes: It's transparent, spacious, bass is clean, treble is unhyped and pure, it's all good.

Well balanced tuning with mild emphasize on bass, awesome life-like dynamic rarely heard from an IEM in this price level, detailed and natural sounding vocal with high immunity to sibilant, with vivid and laser focus instrument separation and 3D imaging. A great all-rounder for both music and movies.

With crystal clear mids, rollicking warm highs and hearty, controlled bass, Creative’s Aurvana Trio is one of the best-sounding in-ear headphones we’ve ever tested. It packs astounding clarity in nearly all areas, helping you pick up on small guitar flourishes or cymbal rolls in places you hadn’t heard them in the past and, most of the time, can even help you distinguish between MP3 and uncompressed WAV files.

So, how does the Creative Aurvana Trio’s hybrid triple-driver system perform? It’s good. The bass is rich and solid providing a nice thumping bass line for songs that call for it. The mids are full of life. The highs are present and detailed. Overall, Aurvana Trio provides a clean and accurate sound with detail and warmth. To be honest, it is way better than I was expecting.

The Creative Aurvana Trio offers impressive sound quality, excellent treble resolution and expansive bass that works fabulously with instrumentals. The triple driver combination delivers the sparkly highs without harshness, and the responsive bass that does not cloud the midrange details. The detachable braided MMCX cable gives the Aurvana Trio a slight edge when it comes to customising the sound.

You have a Balanced Armature Super Tweeter to focus on high sounds, the balanced armature mid-range driver for noises in the natural spectrum like voices, and the bio-cellulose dynamic woofer for when the bass drops. Combine all three, and you get the kind of rich sound that would not only cover listening to any music or media, but perfectly handles the range of noises you would experience in a game.

Overall, the Creative Aurvana Trio performed excellently. It is musically tuned and transparent; plus, everything sounded perfect and right. From music to calls, we were able to hear high-quality audio using these earphones. And with that, we give the Creative Aurvana Trio a solid thumbs-up for its performance.

I get a lot of headphones, but don't be jealous -- most aren't all that interesting. Ho-hum rules the day, so when I popped in these Creative Aurvana Trio headphones, my ears perked up -- the sound was anything but ordinary. The clarity and open quality was special, truly remarkable for a headphone that retails for $150.

If you like to travel a lot and listen to music, earbuds and IEMs are some of the best options going. Not only do they passively block out noise, they’re incredibly compact, too. Creative’s Aurvana Trio is a premium pair of IEMs with a detachable cable, and strong musicality for bass-heads. We'd take them for a ride half-way across the country.

The Creative Aurvana Trio is perhaps the most coherent sounding entry level hybrid IEM I have heard to date...At $149.99 I can have no complaints on what Creative have done here performance wise with the Aurvana Trio. A very pleasant listen indeed.

These in-ear-monitors deliver performance and a lot of features you typically won’t encounter at this price point—chief among them the triple-driver design, balanced armatures, and an MMCX detachable cable.

If you’re looking for a nice affordable everyday beater earphone with a fun, warm sound, the Aurvana Trio might be the one for you. It does lie right on the edge of budget and mid-priced earphone, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find many other products as all rounded as this at its price point.

They're your new "go to" earphones for when you're dashing out the house at the last minute and you really don't want to take the time to charge stuff up. Turns out there is still room on the market for premium wired earphones.

The Creative Aurvana Trio are a big step up for Creative. The have a solidly built earphone that sounds very good and works well with a large number of earphones. Its not as sexy as some of its competition but we would definitely put it into the top tier of earphones at its price point.

These earphones are durable enough that you can toss them in your bag without accidentally crushing them. The cable that keeps them tethered to your phone or laptop is braided and detachable if you ever want to replace it. In short, they can stand up to the beating of an active lifestyle.

Superb sound and superb pair of MMCX earphones. Good that you can detach the ear piece and pair it with aftermarket premium cords or bluetooth receiver. Serious music lovers should have one!

Bought these as a gift, but had a trial run with them and was very impressed with the quality and clarity of the separation of the sound when listening to hi-res files on my Cowon Plenue D player. I normally have my player hooked up to my Shure SE425 IEM's and although the Aurvana Trio's are not quite as rounded musically as the Shure's, they were not far behind. At half the price of my IEM's they certaintly are a great choice for the price. Well done Creative on producing a fine product at a great price, I would highly recommend you give them a listen.

Using this earphone with SxFi. Awesome sound!

Exellent clarity. I notice elements of music that were imperceptible with other low performance earbuds. The cable that comes with it tangled easily and I need a mic for work calls. So I replaced the cable with an after market set. For that reason MMCX is a nice feature. I'm very pleased with the sound and noise isolation. They are slightly heavy compared to cheap earbuds but have not had any issue with them falling out of my ears. I've had a good experience with past creative products and would recommend to others.

Very powerful and immersive sound experience. Clear but if bass is boosted too much it sometimes shows a bit of distortion, depending upon what type of music. I bought the MMX cable and the doubt is even better plus it’s easier to use and much more durable. Excellent for the price, some cable clips would be nice I need to frequently push them in my ear when working out. Aftermarket clips are inexpensive. Overall a very pleasing sound especially since I’ve been a musician for 25 years and listen at very high volumes

Amazing. The professional reviews were true!

This is an absolute treat for my ears on the go. It became even more amazing when coupled with the Sfxi Amp that I eventually purchased couple of months down the road. I have used in-ears that cost many times the price of the Aurvana Trio, but the Trio out performed all of them with its crystal clarity and unpretentious body of sound.

Even better match with the pair of MMCX earphones. Great sound as the sibling of the Aurvana family. If you are serious in what you are hearing this is it. Don't need to doubt your choice. Gamers and Music lovers, this is a must to have!

I wish I bought five more pair of these as always thought they would have been around but oh well. What a phenomenal headphone!!!!

Great sounding and the ability to upgrade to a higher quality 3rd party wire improves these already impressive ear phones. Bought these in May of 2018, and I’m still using these 4 years later! You will love the sound quality and range.

Sound is good
