Creative EP630 or Soundmagic PL13

[ssb1551]

^^Yup u r rite!!I got it for 1350 bucks around 5 months bk.Bk then I was confused which 1 to opt for : CX180 or EP 630,coz EP 630 was for around 1.2k.But I guess I did a good thing going for the former.
Doesn't Creative hv 830 series?Wouldn't that hv been a better option?

^I bought EP630 for Rs 700/- during Sep'2009 from Nehru place, Delhi

i've used the cx180. not too great considering the price. upped my budget, bought a px100 and haven't looked back since.

one thing, if you want to review earphones, please change your audio source. a nokia 5233/5230 is too crappy to even consider. an ipod shuffle sounds better than those 2.

How much did PX 100 cost?

I considered that too, but since it is not possible for me to change the source, I'll just start a thread and let people post their opinions. I want to do this because there are many people who buy phones for music but are disappointed by the default earphones. Most of them want headphones within 500-600 and no matter what, both PL 11 and EP 630 are good choices if found around this price. So such a thread might help people.

How would my PC or Samsung corby work as a source? Asus M2N MX SE plus motherboard.

Oh yeah, totally forgot.
But still its no use for your el cheapo psu died

[ssb1551]

^^Nah dude even the PSU was, and is still alrite!!I think the reason y MoBo died was b'coz of numerous improper shut-downs!!I used to leave my system on for d/lin while going for the classes.So if power used to go during that time then my system used to shutdown improperly coz the UPS only provides 5-6mins of backup.I think thats the reason y the MoBo died off!!After all a MoBo can handle only so many improper shut-downs!

[Cool Buddy]

There's a simple solution for those improper shut downs. Don't plug in your modem to ups and using timecomx set your computer to shut down if network activity remains real low for 4 minutes or so

[ssb1551]

Modem aint connected to UPS!!It was the APC 550 UPS which doesn't come with the software that automatically shuts down the system when battery falls below a certain %, which I tot comes with all APC UPSs.Planning to buy APC 650 in Jan/Feb nxt yr.Now I shut down the system whenever I aint in the house!!The d/ls can wait, I guess!!

[Cool Buddy]

you didn't understand. What I said was that don't connect the modem to UPS so that it gets switched off if there is a power cut. As it gets switched off, downloads will stop i.e. network activity will fall to zero. Now using a software named timecomx set the computer to shutdown if network activity remains low for 3-4 minutes continuously. That way your computer will shut down before the UPS gives away.

[ssb1551]

Ohhhk...got it!!Wow!there is actually a software like tht!!!AWESOME!!!NEAT trick Cool Buddy!!

[Cool Buddy]

My connection used to get disconnected frequently. I used this software to automatically reconnect after 2 minutes of disconnection. Although in ADSL connection, it mostly redials on its own, still, to be on the safe side.
I also use this software to monitor a certain program which needs to keep running but crashes often. it automatically restarts the program after it crashes.

[aroraanant]

how are Soundmagic PL21 when compared to Soundmagic PL11 and Creative EP630 as all of these 3 costs almost the same...
Plz reply soon as I wish to purchase one of these very soon

[Cool Buddy]

PL11 costs less than EP630.

[aroraanant]

^^^
yes.
I just checked the rates on ebay.
The prices are:
EP630->650
PL11->533 or 560
PL21->600
Now which one to choose I m really very confused,have used EP630 I must say they are awesome but u guys say Soundmagic is good.PLz tell me guys which one to go for

[Cool Buddy]

I have PL11 and have heard EP630. As far as I know, PL21 is better than PL11, so the logical choice is PL21.

[desiibond]

Go for PL21.
