Incorporating X-Fi Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D, it offers an unparalleled realism and a more natural playback on all forms of music and soundtracks. In addition, it is built with an advanced Active Noise Cancellation technology that significantly reduces ambient noise by up to 90% or 20dB - a virtue that brings unparalleled peace and quiet to frequent airplane or train travelers. Powered by precise 40mm Neodymium drivers, the Creative Aurvana X-Fi effortlessly reproduces all the sonic details with a clarity and punch that rivals expensive high-fidelity audio equipment.

The   Aurvana X-Fi's technology is perfect for maximising the quality of your digital audio
The Aurvana X-Fi's technology is perfect for
maximising the quality of your digital audio

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. These processes includes monitoring and reducing background noises or enhancing the audio playback so that it's as realistic as you can get.

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.

Hear every detail
X-Fi Crystalizer technology restores the detail and vibrancy to your compressed music and movies. All the highs and lows are intelligently enhanced, ensuring you hear everything in crystal clear clarity.

Cinematic effects
X-Fi CMSS-3D technology expands your stereo MP3s and digital movies into virtual surround sound over the headphones. Voices are centered in front of you and ambient sounds are moved all around you.

Experience no disturbance
The noise-cancellation technology significantly reduces background and environment noise by up to 90 per cent. Get to enjoy undisturbed music wherever you are. You can even detach the audio cable and continue using the headphones to block out noise while you sleep.

Performance audio drivers
Large 40mm Neodymium drivers are acoustically-tuned to produce an accurate and linear response, be it for music or movie enjoyment. Now you can achieve natural and dynamic sound reproduction easily.

Listen to it anywhere
With its wide range of bundled accessories, you can now connect your headphones to the seat socket of the airplane, your home entertainment system, MP3 players, iPod® and even the iPhone™.

Easy storage
No worries on where to keep your headphones. You can easily place them and all the bundled accessories into the included travel case and bring it along with you wherever you go!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely packaged but sounds unimpressive, 23 Feb 2009
    By S. COURTNEY (Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    These headphones do pretty much what the manufacturer says they will, but ultimately the sound is disappointing. I used them for the first time on a long haul flight from UK to the Caribbean, and the noise cancelling circuitry worked pretty well. They were comfortable to wear for extended periods and not hearing the jet roar made for a less tiring flight - pity they couldn't do anything about the legroom!
    Where they disappoint me is in the sound quality. The music sounds 'muddy' with very little dynamic separation. The sound is adequate but far from inspiring. I wasn't expecting the highest sound quality from noise cancelling 'phones, but I was expecting better than they delivered. I don't feel strongly enough about this to send them back, but I do kind of wish I'd spent the extra on some Bose headphones - you get what you pay for I guess!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and effective, 13 Jun 2008
    I used these on a trip down under, so they had a 24hr flight each way in which to prove themselves. They definitely made me feel less tired than when I have done the same trip before, as you are not constantly battling with the noise of the aircraft to hear your music or film. They also meant that I was less terrified at thought of sitting near anyone with a small child!

    Plus points:
    - very comfortable
    - noise cancelling works well with aircraft drone and noise in general
    - case is very handy (and inlcudes adapter for airplane double jacks)
    - AAA batteries mean you're not left without power half way through flight
    - work as normal headphones without power
    - generally feel well made

    Negatives:
    - do not cut out all noise (although once sound coming through you don;t really notice much)
    - not sure about the x-fi bit, seems to work better on films than music
    - plastic cover over battery compartment cheap
    - they (like others in this category) are quire bulky and take up a bit of space in hand luggage

    For the price they seem pretty good value

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, not so good fit, 11 Mar 2009
    Sound is fantastic, although there is a lot of leakage so others around you can also hear. For me the fit was not good enough so I returned them and have gone for Bose QC3, however I do have a large head and the Sennheisers didn't fit either. Sound wise these were great, but not on my head across the Atlantic.
