Creative EP 190

Advantages: Sound quality at low volumes, length of cable
Disadvantages: Not brilliant sound quality at higher volumes, foam earphone cover can fall off

...These creative headphones came with my Zen V and so far i have not had any major problems with them. Sometimes the sound quality is not as good as i feel it should be. Though on low volumes the sound quality is amazing. I think that the earphones fit nicely in the ear and connection between my Zen is strong. The length of the wire is good, as it allows the earphones to be free and my head is not being dragged to my Zen. My earphones are black and silver and i think they look pretty sleek. I had another pair of these earphones with an older mp3 player and an annoying problem was that the foam covers came off very easily and i had lost them within a couple of months and without these covers the earphones weren't very comfortable....

Advantages: good noise isolation, very strong base, no distortion, doesn't leak sound
Disadvantages: feels too fragile

...to be put below normal on the mp3 player sometimes as these headphones are loud. They also do not leak sound a lot, so your music is not advertised to the public! In some days where I feel I do not want bass, I just turn the equaliser settings down so the headphones become “tame.” you do however get used to the strong bass and the “in your head” feel of the headphones. You do however get the sound of the cords rubbing together when you move a lot with these on, almost like a stethoscope, but I suppose that cannot be avoided. I would give it 4.5 starts and not 5 because the first pair I had stopped working on one side around 8 months after I bought them. I got these replaced by creative themselves which was a relatively quick process. Also fine ear wax sometimes gets caught on the mesh of the driver, but it can be removed.... Read review
