Creative Aurvana Live?


Is this the best offering within this price? what about sennheisers hd229/239?
Im really looking for comfort..

Comfort wise the HD229/239 loses to the Aurvana Live for me =) More comfort since the Aurvana Live is not pressing on your ears.

Hi guys, appreciate some recommendation on earphone.
currently using sennheiser adiddas but going to change because the wires are exposed due to negligence.. also used Hippo Shroom before.. i'm a bass person (not overly strong though)
Many have recommended GR07... how's the price like and any warranty ?

- mp3 player, laptop.
- music only
- mp3
- metal and Mandarin pop
- open
- $200 to $250 budger

you will find the gr07 abit too flat for metal. while the quality bass is there, it does sound relatively flat, without much emphasis in the lower frequencies. its within your budget though and actually sounds pretty good for mandarin pop.

Hi all tks for the comments. because the current sennheiser wiring is exposed i've only used it indoor since (and bought another cheap sony IEM purely for running).

now looking for something else to replace the sennheiser as it will uplorry anytime

Westone cables should be more durable and if you using for sports the cables are sweat resistant

 

[deranged]

you can try the klipsch s4i rugged if you want to use for sports.. my friend is using it for his gym sessions..

Currently using ATH-ES55. I really like the size and the design but was wondering if there are better choices out there.

Appreciate the help

Tried out the AKG Q460 today, and it feels a little heavy on the bass.

Any other recommendations?

Q460 has a very "box'ey" sound. Try others

PRO700MK2 is a bassier version of the M50.

Imo they are quite different sounding headphones. Pro700mk2 may not be bassier too. Had it for awhile before selling it away cos giap my head too tight

Try the Ultrasone HFI780. Very good soundstage and bass. Some people like those but some don't due to their unique S-logic tech so you might wanna audition them first

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Was hoping for more recommendations.

need one for use with my pc and ps3, was thinking of getting a headset instead. Will headphone + mic combo be better?

 

[Shahmatt]

how about the audio techinica ckm-55?

Also take a look at the SoundMAGIC E10 for around $50. Rather nice!
