Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the Creative EP-630s, hoping for an inexpensive upgrade to my Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia earphones.While the Sonys have served me well for over a year, I wasn't fully satisfied with their overall sound.At the same time, I wasn't ready to shell out the serious money for Shure, UE, Senn, etc.
If you're looking for great earphones in the $30 range, these are an amazing bargain--and a clear upgrade over the Sony EX51s.You will not believe how great your music can sound for such a small investment!
Creative EP-630 vs. Sony MDR-EX51LP
Pros:
* Definitely clearer trebles - You really do hear nuances in your music that you never noticed before!This is particularly true with vocals and high percussion.
* Firmer bass - Slightly firmer and fuller overall.Not a huge upgrade, but noticeable.
* Construction - The silicon earbuds are nearly identical for both earphones.However, the stem on the Creatives is more tapered, resulting in a more secure attachment.In other words, fewer lost earbuds.
* Louder.On my iPod, I now keep the volume at 60% instead of 80-90%.
* Slightly smaller profile in the ear.
Cons:
* Considerable more cord noise from movement (clothes, wind, etc.).Not sure why.This is the only real con.
* $4 more expensive?Slightly harder to find online?
* Because of the smaller profile, they are a little harder to insert in the ear.
Other differences:
* Straight plug instead of L-plug.It's a tiny disadvantage on my iPod nano, because I must now unplug my earphones before unplugging the sync cable.
* Cable feels more rubbery than plastic.
* Y-shaped cord instead of J-shape.I like the J-shaped plug of the Sonys better to hang behind my neck, but this is trivial.
Overall, this is an absolute no-brainer.The Creatives sound better than the Sonys, at essentially the same price.I believe the sound is comparable to far more expensive headphones.Before shelling out $100+, I urge you to try these and see if you're satisfied.I definitely am.
