REVIEW: Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus - excellent reinforcing headphones with twin radiators

For quite unfamiliar with the technical side of the question, I'll do a brief explanation. Virtually all of the headphones on the market are dynamic. Roughly speaking, they work like most ordinary speakers only greatly reduced in size. The dynamic structure is not characterized by a high reliability and purity of playback, and the size reduction only aggravates its disadvantages.

Headphones with Balanced Armature, also known as reinforcing the headphones, use a different technology, which is based on a moving U-shaped ferromagnetic armature, acting on radiating membrane.

In reinforcing the radiator diaphragm is much easier than in a dynamic, since it is not attached to the magnet. Anchor much harder membrane, due to which the inherent resiliency of the latter does not affect the accuracy of the reproduced sound.

Headphones with Balanced Armature - this is a completely different level of reliability and clarity of the sound unattainable to "normal" dynamic models.

Like many other cool technologies, reinforcing the radiators were originally used in medical and military fields. This emitter is very loud and sensitive, and therefore used in hearing aids.

During the Second World War "armature" used in military communications. When the input signal level equal emitter reinforcing gave 40% louder sound than a dynamic that helps to better hear the other party on a background of explosions and other "charms" of combat actions.

Status studio headphones with Balanced Armature got through all the same extraordinary volume and fidelity. During a live performance executor must somehow to hear the music itself and including moreover hear well, clearly and correctly. It reflected from the back of the concert hall sound with a delay, and therefore it is useless to navigate.

Column monitors mounted on the stage and directed at the performer, creating unwanted acoustic problems due to the need to operate at high volume and does not allow you to move on the stage. Headphones with Balanced Armature deprived of all these shortcomings.

In reinforcing the radiator was only one problem - less than in dynamic operating range, but after penetration technology to the mass market engineers are manufacturers of consumer and professional audio equipment removed shortcoming.

Special headphones charm with balanced armature that can be purchased at quite adequate price in exchange for studio quality sound.

Headphones Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 PlusAbout which I will talk on, there are 11 thousand rubles. For good headphone that's fine. In fact, this is the only type of personal wearable audio technology with studio sound and sane value. If you buy a dynamic headphones for the same 11 thousand, the authenticity and purity of sound in them will still be much to lose reinforcing.

Above the "valves" only and planar electrostatic headphones, and there prices are no longer measured in thousands and tens of thousands of rubles. Also, "planarkam" and "electrostatics" need an amplifier, which can cost more than two times more expensive than the headphones themselves, but because the "elite" audio equipment we leave the "chosen."

In this brief excursion into the world of headphones species can be considered completed. Let's move on to the review.

Creative Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus - in-ear monitor headset with dual reinforcement emitters and mixed type of attachment.

I will begin, naturally, with the sound. Giving a description of the sound is always difficult, but some of the features it is possible to express in words.

Firstly, this is some amazing detail. I connected the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus to your Nexus 5. This is not the worst in quality audio conversion smartphone, and it seems to me, it may well reveal at least some of the reinforcing potential of headphones. In addition, I keep music exclusively in 320 kbps, and lossless, but because sin the quality of the tracks can not be themselves.

The Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus I've heard in a new izezzhennoy length and breadth of the compositions. For example, Cranberries, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation. I listen to these groups as long as I can remember, but in the "reinforcement" I heard them in a new way. I opened the tiniest, hidden before the details in the painfully familiar songs. By switching to a pretty high-quality dynamic headset, I again lost these details. In fact, now I want to listen to the "reinforcement" to your entire music collection, what I'm doing on the job.

Second, it is perfectly balanced sound. Most of all I feared the lack of severity of the lower classes, read a lot of criticism regarding the failure to "reinforcement" to give a normal bass. Nonsense and lies. Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus an excellent job with the bass. Of course, after which a full-size headphones may seem that the reinforcing emitters give little bottoms, but this happens only the first few seconds, and only because in most major models of basses too lot. Accustomed to tyts-tyts and various dubstep sound will surely be disappointed by default, but if you want it all twisted by through the equalizer.

By the way, I do not exclude the fact that complaints about excessive working range limit "reinforcement" is justified in the case of a radiator in one ear. At the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus on each ear has two emitter. One of the low and medium frequencies, while the other only on the top. On the product website also talks about some special design of the body and conducting sound tube.

It is possible without all the engineering and design frills bottoms and tops would really sags. However, all this is speculation, not related to this model of headphones, but in fact I enjoy a rich smooth sound.

If we are talking about the design, it will not be superfluous to talk about the convenience of wearing the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus. On the site of the manufacturer model for some reason it is called in-ear headphones. In my understanding ear - this is what is inserted in the ear. In this case, there is a gag, and they are inserted into the ear canal, and therefore, Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus - it 'vnutrikanalki ".

Feature "vnutrikanalok" that for a good sound you need to choose the right plugs. When the ear canal is sealed, the sound is even better. I liked the foam earplugs, reaching complete. They sit firmly, but gently. If you remain any claims to the bass even when twisting the equalizer, after the installation of foam plugs, they just disappear.

Too good sealing is both a plus and a minus. The sound, of course, excellent, but completely lost touch with the outside world. Cross the road frankly scary because only hear the music.

At the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus, in fact, a triple mount: gag themselves, body rests on the ear, and wire, which extends over the ear headphones, and well supported. To ergonomics generally no complaints. Even when the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus Example of compact eyelet girl's body and did not fit in-ear headphones still firmly held and do not cause inconvenience.

External trim wire is made of textile and certainly outperforms the rubber both in the feeling of contact with the skin, and for convenience. Firstly, a wire is not feels cold at low temperature. This adds wearing comfort Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus in the fall, winter and spring. Secondly, the textiles are not so prone to tangling. That is, twist the wires can, but to disentangle them much easier and faster.

L-shaped plug to connect - it's always good. From personal experience I can say that the straight plug is about 3-4 times less due to the severe kinks in the area of ​​connection wires.

The microphone and control unit are separated. The microphone is handed a little higher for better hearing, and panel located on a common wire.

About the design does not need to specifically tell, everything seen in the photo. Chocolate chrome looks very impressive, but restrained. Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus would be quite appropriate for a rigorous formal style.

Included with the headphones are silicone plugs in three sizes, some foam earplugs, things for purification, to connect the adapter to the plane, as well as a stylish case.

TTH

Any more or less high-quality headset is now worth in the region of 10 thousand rubles, but hardly any one of them can compete with the Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus for authenticity and purity of sound. It is not consumer goods, and the only available categories of personal audio technology, the listener is able to acquaint with studio-quality sound. Of course, to give 11 thousand, even with very steep headphones is difficult, but that we now ruble.

Purchase Aurvana In-Ear3 Plus can be official online store Creative.
