I came away impressed with the sound quality that the Aurvana triple were able to produce. Enough so that I would put them in the top category of earphones you can by for around $100 right now. Basically that means they stay competitive with the afore mentioned offerings from 1More and Oriveti (and also some of the higher end Chinese HIFI earphones).

The sound is well balanced across all frequencies and displays a wider than normal soundstage, excellent clarity and quite lively and energetic bass. The Aurvana are going to be a great set of all rounders if you like to listen to a wide variety of genres but we liked them best with modern pop and electronic track.

You get a lot of detail coming through from the 2 balanced armature drivers that handle the treble and midrange but that is all backed up by the Dynamic driver which provides a deep yet refined low end punch when required.

Highs - Highs have sparkle to them and great clarity, not quite on the level of the 1 More triple driver but they definitely hold their own against the other frequencies in this earphone. Not once did it get overly sibilant and instead it presents the highest of notes with a smoother rounded off approach.

Midrange - Mids are smooth and clear. Good detail and instrument separation is seen through this frequency. The only thin stopping them competing with more expensive earphones is a little bit of separation and more of a weighty growl to vocals. Strings sound good, more precise and crisp than warm and emotive so that might be for you if you like a more monitor style approach to that range.

Lows - Lows were very good. The large diameter driver is often a sticking point in earphones at this price point. We often see low end response that is all about quantity but with little emphasis on quality. I am happy to report that the Aurvana has on tight low end driver that doesn't get sloppy and bleed its low end into the midrange. It is capable of providing big hits when required, not monsterous sub bass but close, and remains tight enough to handle speed in complex bass heavy tracks.

Soundstage is good, slightly more width than depth. Its not an out the head experience but then very few earphones ever are. Imaging is also good and we found it easy to place instruments and imagine staging with live music.
