Aurvana In-Ear 3 Plus Headphones – Review

Creative’s Aurvana In-Ear 3 Plus Headphones produce sound so luminous and detailed that the experience left me feeling as though I was sitting in front of two high-end speakers precisely spaced in a room with fine acoustics.

MS02 and Rain3 In-Ear Stereo Earphones – Review

My first impressions of the sound of the thinksound MS02 and Rain3 earphones (in-ear monitors, or IEM) are based on comparisons to other IEM (Sennheiser IE800, RHA T20, B&O H3), to a few reference headphones, and to notes I’ve accumulated from many prior reviews.
