iPod earphone sucks by default, even apple fans agree wit it, its worse than HPM-70(The SE Walkman earphones!!). Creative ep-630 on the other hand is amazing.......

offtopic: Can anyone tell me from where in BANGALORE i can but creative ep630?

[esumitkumar]

thanks eggman...i was in blore for 6 months.i think may be u can buy them from SP Road .. b/w any ep630 listener ..can u tell hows the exp of ep630 on ROKR E6 ?


PS : ur avatar is really cute

[prasad_den]

POst should have been in QnA.. This is not a fight club topic..
Anyways, EP630 beats iPod earphones hands down.. No doubts there..

[esumitkumar]

i thought there might be some hardcore apple fans vs creative ep 630 ..he he he..any body having exp of ep630 on ROKR E6 ?

[Faun]

nope, ep630 is better

then if u want more go for MDR series from sony.

[cooldudie3]

have u posted it in the wrong place? It should not be in fight club.

[naveen_reloaded]

personlly i have checked ipods speaker and also its quality..
to say the truth they wont even come close to k800i`s quality..

i dont know about ep630...
and also about rockr..

my friend has that ipod with 20 or 40 gb.. i dont know for sure.. with color display....

i really dont understand why there is all hype surrounding ipod , iphone .. when there are really good and efecient counter products available at much lower price...

[superczar]

^^ the ep630 is a earplug, not a mp3 player

the ep630s are really neat (assuming you can get an original pair) and a whole lot better than the ipod plugs
(and I am a major apple fanboi! )

[deepakchan]

I own an 80GB video ipod. The ipod earphones are really no match to the ep630. ep630 simply rocks. Excellent bass.

[iMav]

ah damn u guys i was planning to buy the fm+remote extension now im in a fix

[The_Devil_Himself]

hehe the absence of fm in iPods is really funny I mean wtf its a personal media player it should have a fm receiver.That puts off many a buyers.

BTW I baught a M$ Zune 30gb.Will be getting a ep 630 soon.

[xbonez]

^^how much did the MS zune cost u??

(PS - why does everyone sort of encrypt MS writing it as M$?? its not like we're talking of pirating their products or selling in black...)

[The_Devil_Himself]

pmed you.


M$ if you don't like microsoft much.

Earlier when I had HPM-70 , then I compared HPM -70 vs iPod earphones extensively. With same file, I played all kind of songs from Metal to ballads and found than HPM-70 wins easily. Therefore I created this thread back then.Now I've got ep-630. And after using HPM-70 for 14 months, I can easily say that ep-630 is better than it. The iPod headphones sounds quite flat. No DHUM-DHUM and no PHAN-PHAN. It's probably worse than the fake HPM-70 I got.So heres the conclusion:
Creative ep-630 > HPM-70 > >iPod headphone

[esumitkumar]

^^ nice rating eggman ..does music quality depends on player too ? like ipod with ep630 will be better than ROKR E6 with ep630 or it solely depends on earphones ?

please elaborate

[xbonez]

dude, definitely the music player plays a big role in the quality of music.

Also take a look at KOSS Earphones, their price is in the same range and Tech2 has rated them above the EP-630.

Have a look here :

[gsoul2soul]

My advice to anyone buying ipod... give it to your lil sister (who!! if you're lucky is not audiophile... or else just chuck the earphones away)

I use Sony headphones... and even though it's not as top notch as creative, it's far better than "white earphones by ipod"

Quite a untrue review of ep-630 ,I'll say. Hell!!He even quoted the price wrong!!!Its not Rs.1000 , its Rs.1300/-

[enticer86]

ep630 rocks.. though i wish i had enuf extra bucks to buy one

hell yes, i agree. i've been using it for a while now and i'd be damned if it isn't the best i've heard... i've used some pretty gud earphones over the time, Sony MDR E828, and i have a mid-range sony headphones too. definitely EP630 performs well more than what it costs... upto a budget of rs 3000-3500, i'd suggest the ep630. beyond that, u may think of sennheiser etc.

[Tanmay]

Nah the EP-630 costs only Rs.950 at Laminghton Road !

I've heard the EP-630 and yeah its pretty awesome for that price, but then I personally never had a chance to experience a Bose/Shure or even that Koss one Tech2 mentioned. So I can't really say the EP-630 is the best, there are few others too in that range.

It costs less, but not the MRPs. As a review, one should mention the MRP.

[xbonez]

^^yes, i agree. i was just mentioning coz tanmay felt lammy rd rules, selling it at 950 .

The shitty ipod earphones cost around R.1,500. They are actually worth Rs.300-Rs.400. Sony MDR-E818LP (Rs.500) beat the ipod earphone at any time. I would say strict no to buying ipod earphones.

Koss earphones mentioned in the thread are good for quiet environment but for noisy environment, EP-630 beats them fair and clear.

[xbonez]

for noisy environments, ep-630 rocks. its noice cancellation is excellent on account of the fact that it is in-ear

[shady_inc]

I am getting ep-630 for 700 Rs.But I only have a Nokia 6630 as an mp3 player.Will they be worth the purchase??
