If you prioritize higher overall build quality, comfort, and better noise isolation, then the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS is a solid choice. You'll appreciate them during air travel and while watching TV or videos due to their good noise isolation and sound quality. However, they do not have a detachable cable which might be a concern for durability in the long run. In contrast, the KZ ZSN Pro offers a detachable cable, which can be a significant advantage for longevity and the potential for cable upgrades. The ZSN Pro is also noted for having a balanced audio experience with the appropriate cables, but they don't isolate noise as well as the Aurvana Trio LS. If you're looking for something that could offer better sound customization and potential audio improvements with accessory purchases, the KZ ZSN Pro might be the more appealing option. Both are on the budget-friendly end, so your decision may come down to whether you value build quality and noise isolation over potential audio customization and cable versatility. Give Feedback

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."

David Becker | 2019
"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
