While your enjoying the pristine audio performance of the Creative Aurvana X-Fi headphones, there are key technologies working seamlessly and quietly in the background so that the music that you are listening to is as close to its original clarity as possible.

The Aurvana X-Fi's technology is perfect for maximizing your digital audio's quality. Take a product tour

The Creative Aurvana X-Fi’s on-board electronics encompass an advanced phase cancellation processing that makes use of a high-order active filtering network and audio compensation circuitry to dramatically block out up to 20dB or (90%) of ambient noise. A sensitive microphone, protected behind an acoustic grille within the earcup, constantly monitors and sends out background noise information for processing. An equal and opposite signal is generated by the headphone to counter the background noise. This way, almost all the undesirable background noise can be effectively reduced, leaving you to enjoy an unblemished music or soundtrack presentation. This processing works best in the presence of regular and low frequency background noises such as that on an airplane.

X-Fi Crystalizer Restores Quality to Your Digital Sound

Most downloadable music and movies are compressed--making downloads fast, and storage and portability convenient. The downside is that the quality and fullness of these songs and soundtracks are diminished, resulting in flat and lifeless sound. X-Fi Crystalizer technology restores the detail and vibrance to your compressed music and movies. All the highs and lows are intelligently enhanced so you’ll hear everything in crystal clarity. With the Aurvana X-Fi, you are not shortchanged even with today’s compressed audio tracks.

X-Fi CMSS-3D Puts You "Right There"

X-Fi CMSS-3D takes normal stereo signals and creates a truly cinematic surround sound experience. In-flight movies and DVDs become blockbusters of sound. Audio comes alive with vocals being centered, and ambient sound fills the space around you as if you were listening to a multi-channel home theater system. This delivers a more natural and less fatiguing listening experience to the user.

Customer Reviews

A dream for airplane travelers
Excellent sound, great bass reproduction. Noise cancelling function is amazing, specially in an airplane, when I recently bought these phones I had to fly near the turbine of the airplane, It was terrible just trying to sleep due to high noise, then I turned on my earphones and the sound of the turbine almost disappeared!! like magic. Also an excellent choice to reduce ambient sound when working in the office or in house. Of course noise reduction is not 100% eliminated, results are amazing but if you use them in a low noise room you will notice a very low white-noise sound that I guess is a natural response originated from the internal microphones, so creative: You stil have room for improvement...

No good.
I did not like the sound range and clarity. The special features were also disappointing. I bought the Audio-Technica ANC7 and am very satisfied with its quality.

aurvana- good at first
used them about 10 times on flights
the noise cancelling just suddenly stopped working after 6 months , for no apparent reason
but while they worked they were comfortable and provided good quality sound and noice cancelling
i'm now left sadly with expensive headphones with no noise cancelling
