EP-630 feedback needed...

[desiibond]

so are u trying to say that ep630 does not have upto the mark sound indoors in quiet environment without moving?

huh. Did I ever mention that??? Now, stop trying to make double meanings.

I think you do not have much experience with earphones/headphones.

On any day, a full sized headphones can easily beat in-ear headphones or earphones, unless the headphones are made by Intex/mercury

Moreover, Sony XD series or Philips 2700 are comfortable to wear than EP-630.

They do produce better sound than EP-630. It's just that we cannot wear them outside. They are indoor headphones unlike EP-630, which is good for outside and noisy environment.

FYI, I said that EP-630 fares better compared to full sized headphones when outside and it's the opposite when in quiet environment.

There are certain headphones like PX-300, which are headphones with active noise cancellation. This kind of headphones are small in size, yet powerful. They do not isolate noise, they cancel noise by sending inverse wave to the ear. Such kind of headphones can be used anywhere, quiet env or noisy env. They are much much more effective than the passive noise isolating earphones like EP-630.

If you

1) Move a lot, the choice is EP-630
2) move a lot and do not care about money, choice is sennheiser/sony active noise cancelling headphones. These are well above 4k
3) listen to music only when indoors, the choice is XD-200 or Philips 2700 or similar headphones that have good cushioning, open aural (reduces distortion of sound by large extent).

@assasin
Sennheiser PX100 should cost below 2500 it's around 1800 according to the Delhi HQ. Bass is low, not muted/ It's more for details in the sound than boom box. comes with a 3 yr warranty, a carry case.

the company is in the league of KOSS and other professional high fidelity stereophones manftrs.

Check this one:

Creative HN700 noise-cancelling headphones

Foldable headphones
40mm neodynamium driver
detachable onesided cord
around $45
available in India
active noise cancellation

Majority people are saying that these are very good but some are complaining that it does not fit on their head and due to that they are getting headache.

it's better if you take a demo (stores like Temptations are allowing demo of earphones/headphoens), check comfort levels and get it. You may not find it's music clarity at the first try as this kind of headphone have rather long burn-in period and only after that, they will reach their usual sound quality.

PX100 is sweet sounding phone with perfect detail of audio.

Note: If you use low bitrate songs a lot (upto 128kbps mp3), PX100 will expose lack of quality in audio.

[xbonez]

[gxsaurav]

Hey, what is the length of EP-630 wire?

 

[iMav]

i had almost finalized and bought them bt the chrome ring turned me off completely

 

[xbonez]

Hey, what is the length of EP-630 wire?

1.2m

 

[desiibond]

@assasin, go for MDR-E818LP. just Rs. 500/- and damn good bass, You can use them anywhere.

Second choice goes to MDR-XD200. These are good ones and MDR-300 costs 1000 bucks more. So, this should be ideal choice.

 

[Ambar]

bose ones are for Rs5000........

 

[xbonez]

@ambar...for rs. 800 did u get warranty n bill??

i bought it for Rs. 850 today with bill and 1 yr warranty (for a cousin)

btw, i asked at the shop. they told me EP630 comes only in black. EP635 comes in white (only) ...costs rs. 50 more that the 630

 

[ajayritik]

Does anyone of you who has Creative EP 630 use it for SE Phone or you only use it for listening to MP3 players and iPod. Is there any difference between sound quality for the one that we get for Sony Walkman series and Creative EP 630? Which is better?
