Give the magic: HP dv5t
A nice, thick Y-cable descends from each of the Aurvana Live's earcups, and the two sides meet about 14-inches down to create a doubly thick cord that seems like it can withstand the tests of time. In all, the wire measures 4 feet, which is long enough for certain applications; Creative throws in a 48-inch extension to ensure compatibility with most at-home uses. Both the cable and the extender terminate in gold-plated straight plugs. There's also a quarter-inch adapter in the package to help the headphones adapt to any model receiver you may have, and a soft microfiber pouch for storage.
One of the best things about Aurvana Live headphones is that they deliver solid sound quality across all genres of music. These are definitely everyman's cans. The headphones offer a nice balance across the highs, mids, and lows--you don't get a sense that there is any leaning toward a particular spectrum of sound, which is nice for the average listener. Bass response is nice and tight, though not as thumping as some competitors. Although the mids are warm and encompassing, they seem to be missing some of the buttery quality you get from ultrahigh-end models. That's OK, though, because the Aurvana Live headphones don't have a premium price tag attached.
