Creative Aurvana Ace MimiSoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve
Measured frequency response (dB relative) against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve. When the measurement goes above the dashed line, that frequency is louder than our preference curve, and when it goes below: it's quieter. Use the curve for comparison purposes only, as your taste may vary.

The verdict
If you want earbuds that sound good, you should consider the Creative Aurvana Ace Mimi. The xMEMS drivers deliver pristine clarity, while the Mimi sound personalization feature might help you learn a little more about your ears. They have some strong bass out of the box, but you can dial the sound using the custom equalizer.
✓Liked: xMEMS drivers, Lightweight and comfortable, Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC
✕Could be better: Mediocre noise canceling, No auto play/pause
