PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Creative, a
worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, today announced
the Aurvana(R) X-Fi(TM) Noise-Canceling Headphones, which improve
audio playback for the iPhone, iPod, PC, Mac, PSP, and other
portable entertainment devices. The Creative Aurvana X-Fi
Noise-Canceling Headphones are the world's first noise-canceling
headphones to feature award-winning X-Fi Xtreme(R) Fidelity audio
technologies to enhance audio playback and deliver virtual surround
sound. Priced at US$299.99, the Creative Aurvana X-Fi
Noise-Canceling Headphones are now available at Amazon.com, and
will be available later this month at InMotion, and
us.creative.com. "The Aurvana X-Fi Noise-Canceling Headphones, with
our X-Fi Crystalizer(R) and CMSS(R)-3D technologies that
dramatically improve audio playback, provide so much more than the
noise cancellation in Bose headphones," said Steve Erickson, vice
president of audio for Creative. "Noise cancellation sets the stage
for an excellent listening experience, and the X-Fi audio
technologies up-convert MP3 and AAC music to bring out the best in
music and movies." The Creative X-Fi Crystalizer utilizes
algorithms to make any digital audio sound better by intelligently
and selectively restoring the highs and lows that were lost during
MP3 or other compression. Creative X-Fi CMSS-3D virtually
transforms stereo headphone playback into the more enjoyable and
immersive listening experience of a surround sound speaker system.
Movies sound like they're played on a home theater system instead
of being trapped between the listener's ears. The Aurvana X-Fi
Noise-Canceling Headphones reduce up to 90 percent of ambient noise
and feature memory foam that molds to the user's ears, providing
hours of comfortable listening during a long flight or workday at
the office. Users can independently select noise cancellation, X-Fi
Crystalizer, CMSS-3D and volume with convenient controls on the
headphones. All of the technologies can be enjoyed together for up
to nine hours from two AAA batteries, and unlike most competing
headphones, the Aurvana X-Fi Noise-Canceling Headphones can also
function without power. Each set of Aurvana X-Fi Noise-Canceling
Headphones includes an iPhone-compatible cable in addition to a
hard carrying case for secure transport. Additional product
specifications include: -- 40mm Neodymium magnet drivers --
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz -- Impedance: 450ohms (on), 720ohms
