Best sound so far, ANC not quite to par - 7 MONTHS UPDATE: got the replacement, easy warranty claim procedure, not through desertcart tough. Sound awesome, they felt a bit uncomfortable at first buylt it was my error by using the wrong rubber tips. Once I found the correct fit they are very comfortable. 4 MONTHS UPDATE: So frustrated with these, still sound very good, but the charging problem is unacceptable: at first I thought it was because the stick part of the headphones were too loose in the whole, but it actually is a problem with the metal contacts at the bottom of the case. I checked with a multimeter and there is a bad/intermittent contact, its hit and miss, sometimes I think is charging but it isn't so the buds are still connected to my phone for me just to find that the headphone is still connected and they are in my bag. I will send back for change - as comment I LOVE creative labs and my SENSEMORE AIR are awesome headphones, cheaper and nicer than these 6 WEEKS UPDATE: Still think these things sound awesome, BUUUUUUT my ears do feel "pressed" on the sides of the inner ear after about 45 mins of continuously wearing them. For good measure I got myself the Creative Sensemore, audio is same as the V3 but they are so much more comfortable than the Aurvana. SUMMARY of AURVANA: - Sound: really good, enough for me, they are better than the V3 and the sensemore but honestly you have to be hearing for the difference, it wont blow your mind - but I compared to Bose over ear and they are to par. - FIT: not my favorite but good, prefer the bud design over the "drop with a stick" design. - Battery: they've never died on me, but after about 3 hours of music using ANC, they say 40% left Still a good sounding buds, still a bargain for the price but unless you are a super freak audiofile, id suggest the sensemore 3 WEEK UPDATE: Still love the headphones, the double flange buds are a must. The one big thing: the left earbud fits a tad cnot thight" so when fumbling the case in the bag it stops charging and connects to phone unadverted. Couldn't bother sending back for warranty (their service is awesome I've used it before), just added a small piece of electrical tape to make it snug, works great now. Lets start by saying I really like Creative Labs products (I may be biased), having said that I try to be as objective as possible and I don't consider myself a "go with the trend" buyer. I have been using the old Creative Labs OUTLIER AIR V3 - visual/size comparison in the last picture; the V3 sound really good, and the ANC is awesome in them. The new AURVANA ACE sound much better, but there are a few asterisks about that comment. let me expand: SHORT REVIEW: - Better sound - Good enough battery - Pocket friendly size - Design isn't the best but not a deterrent (I do recommend double flanged buds) - Sound output is lower, i.e.: old earbuds I used in 5-6 volume level and was loud enough, ACE I have to set to 10-12 (all out of 50 on my phone) but it is an irrelevant factor for me LONG REVIEW: - Aurvana came with a single flange buds, they didn't quite seal in the ear canal, but I bought the JNSA double flange buds, they improved seal and "stay in place"ness. I use the ACE while on rowing machine and while doing weights and hardly any displacement/movement in the canal. - ANC works good enough but not as good as in the V3, when using the V3 and ANC to max I wouldn't hear the seat of the rowing machine sliding, with the ACE in same setting I hear enough to know the seat is sliding but not enough to bother me. The V3 were awesome drowning engine sound during flights, haven't tried the ACE on flights yet but almost certain it will be "less good" but not bad. - Sound: this is where the ACE starts lapping the V3, XMEME technology aside, they sound better, clearer sounds and you can separate the instruments during songs - less sound aberration; may not be perfect but compared to AIRPODS, Sony's in ear and over ear, and some JVC's they are way better. I listen to almost anything, mainly classic rock: Rush, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Beethoven, Beastie Boys, Miles Davis, B B King, Cat Empire, Fabulosos Cadillacs.... etc. and I can say the bass strings sound more "separate" from drums, and I've heard some notes/instruments I hadn't heard before - be it not revolutionary but I do think they are superior to the V3. - Battery: I get some 4 hours straight of music, get some 30% battery left. The case handles 3 total charges. - Size of case is waaaay more convenient and pocket friendly. - Earbud design: its not bad but im not a fan of the "stick" design, I would've preferred a V3 like design with the new drivers (10mm drivers are so much better). Review: Good sound - Keep follingformu left ear. ## Features - POWERED BY xMEMS DRIVERS - Enjoy a rich, detailed sound profile across all genres, from booming bass to crisp highs.

Soundguys weren't kidding about the sound quality on this pair. The out of the box sound is decent off the bat, and you will have to download the Creative app and spend some time tweaking the EQ in order to bring out what the earbuds are truly capable of. But even having an EQ tweaking setting at this low price, and one so fleshed out, customizable, and impactful on the sound quality at that, makes these earbuds an insane value. In all other aspects, they are fairly standard in build quality, durability, battery life, and fit (fits similar to an airpods pro gen 1). Multipoint connection is standard and works almost all of the time. The active noise cancelling and transparency mode is decent and gets the job done. The surprisingly great sound quality more that makes up for these other features though. Summary: Some of the best sounding and most customizable EQ wireless earbuds on the market, at a great price point. This review will be changed if anything changes in the near future. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Aurvana Ace with xMEMS Driver, Lightweight True Wireless Sweatproof in-Ears with Bluetooth LE Audio, aptX Adaptive, AAC, ANC, Ambient Mode, IPX5, Up to 24 Hours Battery Life - Creative Aurvana Ace 2 with xMEMS Driver, Lightweight True Wireless in-Ears with Bluetooth LE Audio, aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, Adaptive ANC, Ambient Mode, Up to 24 Hours Battery Life, Built-in Mic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/598159103-creative-aurvana-ace-with-xmems-driver-lightweight-true-wireless-sweatproof](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/598159103-creative-aurvana-ace-with-xmems-driver-lightweight-true-wireless-sweatproof) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
