Sound is subjective and the earphones you referred tends to have different approach of delivery.
EP630 relies on boomy bass that muffles the mids and trebles.
So if you are a bass-head and your choice of music suites that go for Ep630 where as the soundmagic one is more balanced and musical.
Choose what suits you best.
Hope this helps you
N.B If you can up your budget a bit I will suggest pl 21 or pl 30.

Thanks everyone for their response. Ultimately price became the main deciding factor. I got PL 11 for Rs. 615 from theitwares.com. Ordered on Wednesday morning, delivered today (Saturday) afternoon.

I have never heard ep630, but I guess they both are very close. People like one of the two based on their own preference.
I liked the number of ear buds that came with it, 7 pairs total. I haven't tried any except the default (smallest) though.

I have Sennheisser(sry if that aint the correct spelling)CX 180 in-ear phones which I use it with my Nokia 5233.The sound quality is way better than the stock ear phones that Nokia ship with 5233 n add to that the comfort of using it over a long period of time!Tho I dunno how good is it if u pit it against EP630 or Soundmagic'c PL11/21/30?

sound quality is ok, bass is weak. I'd say I'm satisfied with it considering the price of 600 bucks, but wouldn't want to pay anything more than that for this pair.
The mids (voices) are generally very clear. So in my opinion, lovers or Hindi music & pop, jazz, blues etc. may like it. but lovers of rock, metal etc. should look somewhere else.
Will post more in the review section maybe after a month coz I have seen that reviewers allow the headphones to play for 50-100 hours before reviewing it. They call it burn-in period, the time the speaker takes to get to its full potential.

The price of that set, sennheiser CX 180, seems to be around 1.3-1.4k. Having used 2 sennheisers myself (LX 90 & PMX 60), I can assure you that the quality would be better than EP630 or PL 11 coz both LX90 & PMX60 are priced around 700-800 and sound almost the same as PL 11. So more expensive ones from the same company are bound to sound better.

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.

^^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!
