The Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 earbuds offer very good overall sound quality and features such as active noise cancelling and a sweatproof design, making them suitable for exercise and air travel. They also support AptX Lossless and AAC codecs for high-quality audio and low latency, which is good for TV and video. The built-in controls are very good, and there's an app for equalizer and controls customization. However, they might be less suitable for calls and meetings due to fair mic quality. The KZ ZSN Pro X earbuds are a budget-friendly option with good sound quality and the convenience of a detachable cable. They are wired, have no active noise cancelling, and might be less comfortable during exercise and travel due to their larger size. They lack some advanced features such as wireless charging and app support but are durable and might appeal to those who prefer a simple earbud with good sound and build quality at a lower cost. Consider your budget and which features are most important for your usage, such as whether you prioritize wireless convenience and advanced features like noise cancelling and app support, or if a budget-friendly wired option with good sound suffices for your needs.

Soundguys

Jasper Lastoria | April 2023
"The KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
