Creative has a new set of noise canceling headphones on the market with the new Aurvana X-Fi. These headphones are Creative’s first that have their new X-Fi technology which according to Creative will enhance your listening experience with additional sound features.

On the side of the Aurvana headphones are three buttons to turn on or off the three major features. The first is the noise canceling button which, just like it sounds, turns on or off the noise canceling feature reducing surrounding noise up to 20dB. The second button turns on the X-Fi Crystalizer which is designed to restore more detail to compressed songs and provide clearer music. The third button is the Cinematic effects (X-Fi CMSS-3D). This button turns on a feature that provides an surround sound experience in the headphones with voices in front and other sounds that seem to be around you.

The headphones will let you listen to music from almost any player much as regular headphones would, but these extra X-Fi features require 3 AAA batteries to keep them going. One set of AAA’s will get you about 9 hours of the special affects available, then your back to regular listening.

The headphones also come with special jack accessories that let you plug them into almost anything, including the ability to connect to the iPhone’s special connection directly. These new Aurvana X-Fi headphones are relatively light at just 245 grams and coming from Creative are likely going to be a solid product. The headphones are available now from Aurvana for just under $300.
