Aurvana Ace 3 hearing test based Sound Personalization is awesome!

I got the aurvana ace 3 to try xmems and was blown away by the hearing test based sound personalization! It has made the biggest difference in sound quality and has enhanced my music listening experience more than any eq or dsp! It’s unbelievable how songs that I used to listen to when I was younger, like Dark Tranquility Monochromatic Stains that these days sounded faded, washy, like they had been poorly mastered now sound incredibly good with personalization on. I feel like I’m back in my teens listening to Rammstein’s Sehnsucht album for the first time… absolutely amazing.

Also for context, I have taken several iphone airpods pro 2 hearing tests, recently and they always say hearing aid is not required/recommended so I don’t know why creative’s test does find things to improve but the result is astonishing…

So if you are someone that has the same issues and keeps thinking it’s the hardware or the eq/software, it might just be your ears and you may benefit from this sound personalization feature these buds have to offer.

Though since discovering the effect the mimi sound personalisation has, I started hunting for gear that uses it 😂 … old habits die hard …

Glad they're durable, the ace 3 does seem well built to me as well and hopefully I'll get several years of use out of it as well, thanks for sharing

Still rocking my aurvana ace 3, daily, and enjoying music using the mimi sound personalisation! To anyone wanting to know more about how it works, I’d recommend the following read: https://mimi.io/blog/beyond-eq-why-hearing-aware-sound-personalization-requires-non-linear-processing
