Say hello to the revolutionary audio driver that will either change the world or be relegated as a niche idea. The Creative Aurvana Ace 2 is the first of its kind to feature MEMS solid-state drivers, and it comes THIS close to greatness.

I am listening you with my new aurvana ace 2, I couldn’t resist getting these asap due to the new driver technologie. Using them with an iPhone I didn’t experience any issues with Bluetooth or connecting to the app so far and I am blown away by the capabilities of these sound wise. These are incredible precise and still heavily rumbling on the bass side without getting muddy and you can tweak them to any liking via eq. The anc though is basically nonexisting, some sounds seem to be even louder with anc than without and the app is pretty basic. I had a day one update btw, as I unpacked them. There are some drawbacks but I seriously love this set for its sound and light and comfortable fit - the two absolute core attributes of earbuds.

Thanks for sharing your experience (and sorry I missed this)!

As a member of the team, l want to thank you again for taking one for us!😂 Sounds like this tech has great potential once they match the bass style to the Mems style. Pretty cool looking too! On another note, l just got the Onemore Sonoflow SE headphones for my birthday, and after tuning them to a personal eq setting , they sound really nice! Apparently there's now a Soundpeats headphone available which is getting good reviews but l imagine these give it a run for it's money😊

The battle between brands is relentless -- so hard to keep track! ...And aye, MEMs is definitely something keep your eye out on.

Hey Aaron, great video as always! These look nice! 👍 well done 🎉

These buds are definitely more awesome than not (if you can get past the ANC inconsistencies).

For a starter it's good, needs a bit of work though, Thanks Aaron!

It's not that far off, tbh.

Absolutely fantastic review! Not a fun of Creative products, but your presentation is exceptional. BTW, why not a dual BA woofer plus xMEMS tweeter instead of a huge dynamic membrane?

@gearupaaron 4 күн бұрын

xMEMS has a whole lineup of MEMs combo units (with more likely down the pipeline), so BA-xMEMs might be a possibility. Thanks for watching this! Please help share this channel :)

These are the top end of my budget. If sound quality and really wanting this form factor are what's most important to me would you say get these or would you have any other recommendations? Thanks

I pre ordered them pre-launch Creative Labs Aurvana Ace2 are by far the best buds out there...by far

@gearupaaron 2 ай бұрын

You know, when you use "by far" twice, they basically cancel each other out, right 😂 All aside, I agree, the Aurvanas (best name ever) are pretty fantastic.

it is horrible that they have not gotten the recognition that is deserved and required by so-called reviewers.....

@elwap0 If only Creative had the brand draw it used to have during its Soundblaster days.

By far like by far...take it however you like ..I misplaced mine ...I have other buds ...highly rated...but I couldn't take it so I bought another pair of The Ace 2...

Hardcore fan, nice 👍. TBH, higher end audio great should have Tile or Airtag tracking built in like Skullcandy products.

Nice review. I have audio technica. So maybe this or not. I think over.

Let us know what you end up deciding with. Thanks for watching 🤙

Great review in terms of SQ, pretty close to my first impressions It's quite hard to make good hybrid IEMs, since dynamic driver will always be terribly slow compared to BA or MEMS or etc, and especially with these sizes and currents. Sry for degraded english)

@gearupaaron 4 ай бұрын

No worries - your English is great! I think the next gen of MEMS (or even xMEM's highest end model coming soon) might solve some,if not all of those problems. Thanks for watching, btw. Hope you come back for more new content every week 😁

@pasiutrial 4 күн бұрын

that's why BA + MEMS is the solution. Just imagine a huge Knowles dual BA woofer and a nice tiny xMEMS tweeter...

@mikeevans7381 4 ай бұрын

I do know that Noble is making a pair of earbuds with the xMEMS hopefully they'll do a better job. Creative is a good little company but not great. But you're review of these is great and thank you for that. 💯👍🇺🇸

@gearupaaron 4 ай бұрын

They might be using a higher-end MEMs model, but regardless, I hope they nail the whole thing, including price.
