The Researcher
I broke my Cowon U2 Audio Player’s earphone. That called for a new earphone. I called the distributor in Mumbai, who told me that they are not selling earphone separately. That brought me in the market for earphones.
I heard a lot about Creative Ep 630 in ear earphones. I decided to purchase. Now, I have no idea of how in ear earphone will be like. Still I did a lot research and finally from a internet site I got the name of a shop in Vile Parle called Alfa3. I decided to go there.
Well, I purchased one. I started using them. At first, I couldn’t hear any bass. I was highly disappointed. Since I had already broke open the packet there was no way going back to the shop. I thought that I was conned. But somewhere in the net I read about Seinnheiser in ear earphone not getting any bass because the proud new owner had fitted these in his ears not properly. Well, this gave me an idea. I experimented with the various sizes of ear buds they had supplied and suddenly as if out of nowhere I started getting bass responses in my ear phone. It also sounded quite nice. It sounded so nice that I was reluctant even to take it off my ear even when I arrived at my office. You see, I use my player during my train travel. Even when the train was passing through Parsik Tunnel, I was not able to hear nothing of the outside noise.
For Rs. 1000/-, it is a quite fantastic earphone. There are two major advantages to this type of design, first up is that they don’t tend to fall out of your ears when you’re jogging like standard ear-bud type headphones do. But more important is that with the headphones pushed deep into your ears, you cut out almost all the background noise. If you’ve ever travelled on the suburban trains of Mumbai using standard headphones you’ll be aware that you can hardly hear your music over the sound of the train. You’ll have no such problems with the EP-630s – no matter how loud things might get on the train, you’ll be able to hear your music and you won’t even have to crank the volume up to the top to do so. In fact, I lowered the volume, because at a lower volume also, the music was very clear and loud. Even smallest sounds can be heard very distinctly.
You get three sets of rubbers for the headphones, so you should be able to find a set the fits your ears comfortably. I found that the smallest set were perfect, and I was able to use the EP-630s for several hours without my ears aching. Headphones like this do take a bit of getting used to though, since you feel a kind of pressure at first, like you’re under water, but if you can get past that you’ll never look back.

( Try it ,run around a bit sit down wear the phones). Try hanging out of the train door these things will never budge out of your ears.
