Creative has launched the new Aurvana Live! 2 headset aimed at audio enthusiasts. The company describes the Aurvana Live! 2 as "designed to deliver true-to-life acoustic performance with tighter bass". Creative also claims that the headset delivers "impeccable audio" thanks to the use of 40mm Neodymium drivers with biocellulose diaphragms.
Biocellulose diaphragms are made out of a compressed natural fibre material that combines the tonal qualities of traditional paper cones with the power of a metal cone.
The Aurvana Live! 2 weighs 255g and has an adjustable headband. They use an over-the-ear design but Creative touts their excellent seal against outside noise. The headset is meant to be comfortable even with long hours of use, with memory foam earcup cushions finished in a "premium protein faux leather" material.
Creative lists the headset's frequency response range as 10Hz ~ 30 KHz, impedance as 32ohms, and sensitivity as 105dB/mW.
The headset has a detachable 1.2m-long audio cable with a gold-plated standard 3.5mm jack and an inline remote and volume control that is compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets and PCs. The cable is flat and uses oxygen-free copper to improve its lifespan.
The Creative Aurvana Live! 2 is the successor to the well-received Aurvana Live! headset. It is priced at Rs. 12,999 in India and is available in either black and chrome or black, red and chrome.
