Eye-boggling ear goggles

Posted by T3 Online on Mon 19 Jun 2006

Creative's new noise-isolating headphones provide ultimate aural pleasure - in exchange for a mere £90.

Creative has pulled the wrappings off its Zen Aurvana headphones, which it claims are the ultimate in in-ear ear goggles. Phew.

The delicate wee headphones are packed with AuraSeal (careful how you say it) noise isolation technology to cut out background babble - a whopping 90% in fact - but weigh only 13g, making them the lightest in their class.

Other high-end bits and pieces include "Balanced Armature" drivers and gold-plated connectors, to ensure pristine audio reproduction at all volume levels.

High-end features mean a high-end price, though - you'll be coughing up somewhere in the region of £90 if you want to pocket a pair, although that also gets you alternative size earbuds, an airplane adapter, cleaning tool and travel case - hurrah!
