Great sound, but require some getting used to
These work very well and sound great. They also do a very good job screening out the ambient noise: I've used them while working out and not been bothered by all of the noise in the gym and even been able to listen to the music I chose instead of the stuff the gym was piping in. I've even been able to listen to music while mowing the lawn and not have the music drowned out by the mower engine. Wonderful!

I've had some small difficulty getting used to them. They're described as "in-ear" headphones, which is quite accurate: instead of traditional headphones which sit outside of your ear, these are actually inserted into your ears. That felt strange to me at first -- it still feels a little strange. If you're uncomfortable sticking something down into your ear canal, you might be happier with more traditional headphones. But I think the sound and quality of these headphones are worth working through the initial discomfort.

Excellent
Great earphones. i had the Bose before these although the Bose had a little deeper base overall sound these are much better. They go great with my Zen.

Not Good for Running
The Creative Zen Aurvana In-Ear Headphones is a good product, but it doesn't work when I run. If I'm using the stairmaster they work just fine, and even walking on the treadmill is fine. The problem is running either on the treadmill or outdoors - I can hear the pounding of my feet that reverberates through the body in my ears. I don't have that issue with earphones that fit over the ear. The product comes with different size ear molds - that's great because I had to play with the different sizes until I found a combination that works for me. Overall, I'm not sure this product was worth the price.

Good sound quality but fragile
These earbuds fit nice and snug helping to eliminate ambient noise. They need to be broken in to sound their best, fresh out of the box they can sound a bit tinny and don't expect a thumping bass. I was fairly happy with the way they sounded after the break in period, the sound was fairly clear, the mid range was decent as was the top end.

Downside, these things are fragile. Mine malfunctioned after only moderate use due likely to frayed wiring and the thin cables pass on external noise from rubbing and movement. So make sure you buy these from a reputable dealer with a good return policy.

Expensive but excellent
Excellent sound and very good noise cancellation- stereo separation and bass are also very good
