Creative EP 630

Advantages: Cheap and Brilliant Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Common problem with sound going in one of the earphones.

I bought these Creative EP-630 earphones after I had the Sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia earphones for about 2 years and was really impressed by them apart from the rubber on the wire. It felt very flimsy and cheap and if you rolled the cable in your fingers you could feel the wire moving about. When they were about 18 months old the rubber started breaking and exposed bare wire. These earphones were £26 when I bought them and for only 2 years worth I ...
...earphones, people were recommending the Creative EP-630 as a brilliant all rounder with great sound and good quality for a brilliant price. In the end I bought some for around £6-7, this price is available from a few online shops. I have now owned these earphones for over a year and there is no sign of breakage. The cable feels strong and if you roll it in your fingers it doesn't feel like it will break. The correct way to put these earphones into ... Read review

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

...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

Advantages: Simply Excellent
Disadvantages: None

Creative EP-630 I have recently tried creative EP-630 and it cost a quarter of a similar pair of Bose phones that I'd normally go for. Ordering from their website couldn't be easier and the site is locked for security of payments. The ear pads are rubber and far more comfortable to the ears. The design is by far more ergonomically and causes less stress to the ears. The sound is by far the real selling point however and is a stunning ...
...extraordinarily loud but the quality does not fall away and wobble/ scratchiness are simply not there, even at full volume. The bass tones are very deep and you made need to lighten them up with a little more treble. The sound in general is very crisp. The cord is very long which is a bonus as I run on road and on the treadmill. The Jack input is the standard ¼ inch. This particular model 'fits all'. Easy to pack and travel with and weighing ...

Advantages: Great sound, isolation and comfort at an affordable price
Disadvantages: I suffered a fault with the right earphone

...sound and comfort on the creative product is at least as good if not better but they are a bit cheaper. Overall I would recommend these earphones to everyone but if you are concerned by the amount of sound they shut out, then I would suggest trying a friend's pair (any brand of in ear style phones should give you a decent impression of what it is like). ...

Advantages: sound quality (especially bass), comfortable, price
Disadvantages: none (maybe high tones

...I've not been throwing the around but for me they seem have high durability. Creative is known for their quality. Concluding, it is a great 'bang for buck' product with wondreful sound, nice design and good quality. I recomend it to everyone (if You are not an extreme audiophil) ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound and build quality
Disadvantages: Bit bigger and heavier than an Ipod

...Okay, so it's not an Ipod and it's not the trendy fashion accessory that some people will be looking for but you will struggle to find a better player than this. Size wise it is a bit bigger and heavier than the Ipod but it's not too big to be a problem. The scroller works better than the Ipod wheel though this is just my preference (I also have a ipod mini). The software works well and like most other players the earphones are a bit rubbish but this can be resolved by buying a pair of superb creative ep-630. Comes with a mains adapter which is ideal for going on holiday although the battery life is superb maybe not quite the advertised 24hrs but you don't need to charge it too often (some players don't include this and expect you to shell out more money!) On the downside it won't be instantly recognised by a computer... Read review

Advantages: Sound quality, durability, features, battery life
Disadvantages: slightly large, dated, no video/images

...to any standard headphones and especially the poor iPod ones. As a sound lover I still bought some aftermarket ones, by creative, the EP630's. This amplified the sound quality by a huge amount. I?m not kidding when I say the sound is comparable to a home sound system, you really have to try it. -----| FM Radio |----- Something you won't see on most mp3 players is an FM Radio, namely iPods. The Zen can store 20 preset radio stations, which is more than enough as i don?t even know 20 radio stations. The presets can be renamed to whatever you wish. You can also record the radio, which is quite a good feature. -----| Voice Recorder |----- This is a very good feature and the microphone inside the Zen is very good at picking up sounds clearly. I used the feature to record my classes at school, it can record for as long as you want... Read review
