The Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS earbuds are a wired, budget-priced option with a closed, stemmed design. They have a dynamic driver but lack wireless capabilities, active noise cancelling, and are not sweat or dustproof certified. Their sound quality and comfort are rated poorly, and they do not excel in specific applications such as music, calls, gaming, or use during exercise. They lack app support for equalizer or audio controls customization. These earbuds might appeal to those looking for a simple, no-frills wired option for occasional use, but they might not satisfy users seeking high-quality audio performance or additional modern features such as wireless connectivity and noise cancellation.

Ratings by Category
Gaming:4.4
This score evaluates the product when used to play videogames. It takes into account wireless latency - the perceived delay between the action on screen and the sounds playing in your ears. The score also considers soundstage quality, whether they have a virtual surround feature, and overall comfort. Finally, the gaming score takes into account microphone quality for in-game voice chat.
It’s important to note that the device paired with the earbuds heavily influences their performance in regards to latency or delay.
Portability:4.3
The Portability score is based on an overall assessment that includes volume and maximum dimension of the product (and case, if relevant), and its weight. Special features like foldability for headphones are also taken into account.

This score evaluates the product for use on airplanes and other similar kinds of travel. It takes into account noise reduction and portability, including case shape, case size, and weight. It also incorporates the battery life of the product, long-haul comfort, noise reduction (both active and passive), and sound quality. We generally consider wireless products to be more suitable for air travel.

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
