Creative - Aurvana Ace 2 True wireless in-ears, Black

Sound quality is excellent. Noise cancelling is hit and miss. If you get a good ear seal then ANC is better. The xMEMS technology is amazing.

These provide sublime audio for the price. Detailed bass and quite a balanced neutral sound. Amazing separation and sound staging too. The audio input really makes a difference tho. I was originally using these with my oppo find X5 and thought they were decent but nothing great. I upgraded my phone shortly after however and the sound just turned into something else so the source seems to make a big difference.Onto the negatives. The touch controls are pretty janky and the noise cancelling is pretty useless when you're outside because if there's even the slightest bit of windyness you will hear it amplified. In those situations I just turn the ANC off.In short notice great for using on the go when it's windy but sound quality is where these really excel. Compatible to decent quality wired headphones.For the price I paid when I got them on black Friday was about £60 with a voucher they are 100% a 5 star. But if I'm being real. At anything above £100 id have to give it 4 because you're going to be using wireless headphones on the go and it doesn't excel there.

I've gone through countless earbuds, but the Creatives are in a league of their own. Maybe it's a touch of nostalgia for their Sound Blaster days, or maybe they just fit my listening style perfectly. Either way, I love them!

i thought i'd give them a try. out of the box, they sound terrible. like cheap, poorly thought through tuning. really dark, veiled (poorly implemented mids and treble).i've been spending more time eqing these that i've ever spent with a set. the result: switching eq profiles for every type of music. this means forgetting shuffle on favorite tracks. i've found some settings (none of the eq profiles provided) that can sound great...but, emphasizing the previous point, for only some music. this is more work than a set of tws should be...to be clear: i like subbass, i like slam, i like clarity, i appreciate detail but don't need it.regrettable. i'll keep them and just accept that they are...meh and require a lot of work (constantly flipping eq profiles). knowing what i know now (and to throw shade on the hifi websites who say these are for audiophiles) i wouldn't have bought them.

I bought these direct from Creative when they came out, so have now had them nearly 10 months.Sound isn't bad, although there are only 3 sizes of tips provided, and I can't say there's a good size fit in the box for me.Why only 2 stars?Ambient mode is unusable. There's a constant background hiss which is really annoying. ANC doesn't deal with wind at all, so not great for outdoors. This just leaves normal listening, which isn't what's advertised.Touch controls are challenging. 2 taps should pause play, but often skips to next track, or does nothing. 3 taps should skip, but often does nothing, or pauses play. You'd think after 10 months I'd have got better at using the touch controls, but sadly not the case.Have now started to disconnect from sources randomly. (Particularly the tv.) Often running out of charge despite being in the case overnight and plugged in. (Cleaning the contacts has made no difference.)Often STAY connected to my phone when put back into the case, which means attempting to watch something on the phone requires disconnecting manually from the bluetooth. Great once you realise what's happening, but frustrating when you don't. I should point out that this is also random, as sometimes WILL disconnect when put back in case.Periodically, when connecting, there's an unacceptable amount of "crackling" when playing music from my phone. Putting the earpieces back in the case, then taking them out again immediately seems to solve this. Weird, and I can't think of a reason why it should happen.So I can't recommend them. Very disappointing overall, even if they sound quite good when they're actually working.

Great Sound Quality.ANC, could be better.Recomend for sound enthusiasts
