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.
