In the competitive world of wireless earbuds, Creative Labs introduces the Aurvana Ace series, aiming to attract music enthusiasts with its design, features, and sound quality. Known for their expertise in sound technology, Creative Labs from Singapore has created a lineup that promises more than just convenience.

Build

When you open the box for both the Aurvana Ace and its sibling, the Ace 2, you’ll find a USB-C cable and different sizes of silicone ear tips. The design is simple, with both models having similar cases, but the Ace has a matte black finish while the Ace 2 has a see-through case with a coppery inside that looks elegant even when closed.

Looking closer at the Ace 2, its design stands out as visually striking. The earbuds themselves have a semi-transparent look and feel light, with a rating that protects them from sweat and splashes, making them suitable for workouts and rainy days.

In terms of features, the Aurvana Ace series offers a good mix of options. It lacks automatic music pause when you take the earbuds out, but you can control them by tapping—double tap for ambient sound, triple tap for voice assistant, and so on.

These taps can be customized using the Creative app, which also lets you update the earbuds’ software, adjust the equalizer, and change the touch controls.

Connectivity

When it comes to connecting, both models use Bluetooth 5.3 and support high-quality audio via Snapdragon Sound technology. They can connect to two devices at once, which is handy if you switch between gadgets often.

Sound quality is where these earbuds shine. They deliver clear audio with strong vocals and support various audio formats, making them versatile for different types of music. The active noise cancellation is decent but not the best in its class, though it still provides a good listening experience overall.

Battery

Battery life is decent, lasting about 6.5 hours on a single charge, with the case providing extra charges to keep you going all day.

Despite their strengths, the Aurvana Ace series does have some drawbacks. It lacks features like built-in spatial audio and automatic play/pause, which are becoming more common in high-end earbuds.

Price

As for pricing, that information isn’t available yet, so potential buyers will have to consider these features against the eventual cost.

In summary, the Creative Aurvana Ace and Ace 2 offer solid options in the wireless earbud market. They appeal to users looking for reliable performance, comfort, and good sound quality. While they may not be groundbreaking, they are well-suited for various uses, from exercise to daily commuting.

The true test will be how they are priced compared to other options. For now, the Aurvana Ace series stands as a competitive choice in the world of true wireless earbuds.
