Creative EP-630 Review

Bought this pair of earbuds about a year ago. And can say that the quality is great, as allways from Creative.

The earbuds may have a thin cord but its light and easy to use and handle. I got a pair of koss before and the buds on them dissapered in a couple of weeks from normal usage. This buds that comes in 3 different sizes arent easy to remove witch is good when you come to think about it. But it can be a living hell if you may got a big jacket or are out for a run. The cord have a tendency to get stuck in zippers and other places on the jacket. Because of the good fit on the buds it hurts when they are pulled out with force.
The in-earbuds is what can be called J-shaped, aka Behind the neck layout. That was a big miss using that kind of layout on sutch a good pair of earbuds. Its get tangled and it can be anoying when you are walking and the cord keeps rubbing your neck until you get a mental breakdown.
Sound quality on them is a 10, they can both reduce enviroment disturbance , give a realy good bass and a clean sound even on quite high volumes. But the thing is also that you can't eat crunchy food like cereal, you cant yamn because the buds will fall out of your ear and you cant have the cord hanging it will make a terrible noice when it rubbing against any material, the sound then travels true the cord and ekos in your ears.
It got a goldplated connector, oxigen free copper threads inside the cord, silicon bud and some good ABS plastic for the cover around the magnets.

Conclusion: Cheap in-ear buds with a great sound in both low and high volumes but with some anoying problems with the cord.

awesome review! they look very similar to the zune premium earphones (but i guess all earphones look the same now these days). how much did you get them for?

**Wompa** · 01-10-2008, 07:25 PM

A little bit over 3?, it was a auction on the site that starts with an e.
Now you must pay a little bit over 25? for them in a store and maby less on the internet.

Earphones look nice and good review, i might've got them if i hadn't already got the Zune premium earphones.

**Wompa** · 01-13-2008, 08:57 PM

I think that the Premium earphones is a better choise. Because its Zune and it fits like a hand and a glove

**Zunesi** · 01-21-2008, 09:46 PM

Ah yeah, have you seen the V-Moda earphones?
They're soooo nice, Aden has some and he showed me, seriously they look so much nicer than the Zune premium earphones.

**Wompa** · 01-21-2008, 09:55 PM

No I havent, We in Sweden doesnt have access to new things for the Zune etc...
I would actualy want a V model earbuds insteed of these J-Model.
Hows the sound on the Premium? Make a review!

**Aden** · 01-21-2008, 10:03 PM

Zune Original Earphones = Pretty darn good for included earphones.
V-Moda Bass freq = Great Earphones for a darn brilliant price.
Zune Premiums = v1 are dirt cheap and super great sound.
V-Moda Vibes = Super In-Ears with amazing look and bass. Worth the extra cash.

Thats all the info you will get til the review

Then I know some good earbuds I can buy, because my Creatives have begin to break, the sound on the right ear can sometimes dissapear. But im going to buy a new contact and just replace it. The bud are great but the contact can always break even if you are carefull.

A V-Model buds will be my next buy but befor that I must order a Dockingstation for my Zune. I like it nice and tidy. Im a IKEA child you know!

Thanks Aden for the tips, its great to have some recomendations to choose frome.
