Hello, i own a ipod nano 3rd generation... unfortunately the rubber lining of the earphone is tearing off. I'm looking a new earphone but ipod earphone is way too expensive for me.

any 1 would recommend a good(as in better than stock) earphone which is price < rm50 or < rm100.

if there ain't < rm100 earphone which better than stock then any decent would do.

thank u

yeah my ipod rubber linings have worn off too. now it hurts to wear it.

any idea where to get replacement phones?

Go hunt for Crossroad Mylar Bijou.

what about philips earphones? are they good? (as in my budget range)

Depends on what kind of SQ you want.

If for bass, Creative EP-630 is usually preferred. It only costs around RM50 here. Or if you're really stingy, Sony MDR-E818LP is insane value for just RM25.

Between RM50-RM100, I think the best choices are Koss KSC-75 and Soundmagic PL-30. I personally haven't tried the KOSS cos I'm not a fan of clip-ons, but there are so many rave reviews about it. I'm currently using the PL-30 and for slightly less than RM100 I'd say it's great value. Excellent SQ and includes loads of accessories.

what means by insane value ? this rm25 better than the creative rm50??


i just checked out PL-30, alot of good review.. i gona consider it..


any good one with neckstrap?

PL30 is very very good.. But the shape might give you discomfort depending on ur ear shape.. Alternatively you can get PL20..

I mean, at RM25 it gives you some very nice sounds if you have very limited budget. If you have enough for an EP-630 go for it......

PL-30 has a very nice soundstage, I like it for orchestra/classical musics. But yeah, the design is really awkward and may not be for everyone.

i prefer SONICGEAR earpump 2 huhuhuh..rm55-60 onli ma..

The earpump SQ is not really gd. For the price I would say it's better to get the Creative EP630 instead.

Yea, I like the B&O A8 as well, the design really attracts me. I was planning to grab it as well last time, but after some research on the earphone, I found out that it needs recabling and amp in order to get the best SQ out of it which means money money money so I settled with Klipsch in the end. Haha

ep630 or and of the soundmagic that suits you. Or save more and get a mylar

I personally am using Creative EP-630 and I find it decent enough for daily music listening. As long as you're not an audiophile, most earphones around RM50-RM100 would do the job quite well. The only difference is that each might have its own stronger element like for the Creative EP-630, it is known to have one of the strongest bass for this price range.

Creative Ep-630 if u are a bass lover. RM55

Crossroad Bijou #3 for the long run RM170 or start hunting for 2nd hands one.

Crossroad Quattro for superb long run due to three sound signatures RM2XX

If you're basshead, go get the OEM JBl Reference 220, guarantee no regret I can assure you that it's better than the Creative EP630, on par if not better than the Shure SCL2/SE102.

if you got some cash, try out skullcandy, earbuds series, dunno how much it costs here, but it costs arnd 30 USD onli, i have a pair and the quality is just amazing. I had the creative ep-630, and id say that skull candy sounds better! just my 2 cent!!!

No offense but the skull candy doesn't seem to receive gd comments from audiophile, they're only well-known for the awkward design I think but that's the headphone I'm talking about, may be I shall gv their earphone a try sometimes later xD

Hi all,

I've been there in Lowyat Malaysia last week but i cannot find a store that sells EP-630. Do you guys know a store there that sells EP-630?

My friend will go there by next week and i'm planning and wanting to buy one. Thanks.

Er, I know Sri-Comp does sell them, but it's pretty expensive, they're selling it at RM120 whereas you can get the OEM EP630 at RM50 only at Music and Audio Accessories section under garage sale there. BTW, there're other that's better than the Creative EP-630 such as the SoundMagic PL-11, PL30 or PL 50, Music Valley SP1 or Crossroads Bijou, you can find them at garage sale there.

So, the warranty doesn't cover for earphones? Mine got tearing off too! and its still in 1yr warranty!
Had an iPod nano 2g few years back. Its earphone was much durable than this one.

I don't think the warranty includes the earphone but frankly speaking the earphone is kinda lousy so why don't you get a new 3rd party earphone instead....

having the same prob here!!
but if u r looking for <rm100 earphone.... everywhere u could get but don't expect any quality of course!

Budget:RM200-300
Must have mic and in-ear.
What you guys recommand for me?


I don't really care about brand but quality (:

I don't really hv a gd recommendation of earphone at tat price with mic. If you're able to fork out up tp Rm500, then Phonak Audeo is a gd pair of earphone to be owned.

Does the EP-630 works with the iPhone 2G?

why nobody recommend sony headset?they are not good?

too commercialized... there's better brand out side... with cheaper price...

oh i see..coz my Earpump 2 did not hv sound at all on the right side
anybody can recomend me any in-ear earphone which around the price for Earpump 2?
Does EP-630 produce better sound than this sonic gear earpump 2?

Any suggestion?

Yeap, it does.

Yes, EP630 might sound btr than EarPump, there was an IEM that's very gd IMO at RM50, which is the JBL Reference 220, but now all sellers had increased the price to around RM100 xD

any good budget earphone that is not in ear and sound quality similar to the original ipod?

What's ur budget? Gd pair of earbud em, PK1, PK2? B&A a8, or you might want to check out huangyong's sale thread, heard he's some sort of x-brand that is super cheap~RM50 but the SQ can match PK1.

same problem here, recently the rubber lining of my ipod earphone is tearing off too, quite anonying.

looking for the cheap but nice quality earphone too.
anyone know the VIewSonic 's earphone quality good???

rm50 can get one..

I recommend any of Sennheisers earphones. They are superb i must say in terms,

of quality !

I'm currently using a JVC Marshmallow earphones, red colour. They're in-ear. Not sure how much it costs here, got mine in UK for about £10. It's not that bad, the sound produced is smooth and clean but the bass isn't very good. But you get what you pay for, no? Not to mention their colourfulness, guess it attracts attention.

AKG K314 RRP RM169 avail fr Switch @ Gurney Plz (PG), Queensbay (PG), Sunway Carnival (Perai), The Mines (KL), The Spring (Kuching)

you can try to consider philips earphone, they have good quality and value for money as it is not too expensive. =D

Been using bijou 4 for more than half a year, serves me pretty well with my mp3 player and my phone =)

ipod earphone with mic , the sound quality damn goood (:

thinking of buying a new earphone for my ipod touch. the original one keep on having this random volume drop. and when i send in for repair. they said they couldnt found any problem with it. and right after i bring it home, the volume drop randomly again.. something is wrong with the earphone.

any recommend on a new earphone preferably with mic to utilize the voice over control. budget around 100 or slightly over can be consider.

r u referrg 2 d earbuds tat comes wif d iphone or d in-ear?

Recently bought the Xbrand 1&2 earphone/earbuds in garage sale(music and audio), I gotta tell that these 2 earphones are the best earphones I've heard so far, design of the earphones are not so eye-candy tho. The earphone are as good as Yuin PK2 I gotta say with only half of its price

I'm using Sony MDR-EX300SL/R
im impressed by the quality i got and it does not cost u a bomb, juz RM199.

No need to worry, save up some $$$ first n get a proper one.
I'm using a Sony MDR-EX300SL/R where it does deliver a great deal of performance whenever i need it.

Where to get this? My ipod earphone has no mic so I can't use the Voice Memo function....

are you using 8gb touch? or previous gen touch? if yes, they do not come with built in mic. only 3rd gen 32gb and 64gb got mic

Yup, I'm using 2nd gen touch. All I have is a pair of normal Apple earphones...

you need to use a earphone with mic or bluetooth headset to use the mic function then

Go take a look at nearby Apple retailer shops, they should hv it, price should b around RM100+ - tho.

Thanks for the info, ksc_3688 and chingwooi.

A little out of my budget though. =/

whats your budget like?

My budget is less than RM70 or so~

I've spent quite a bit on accessories for my ipod already.

Oo, go find this xbrand 2 earphones from garage sale(music section) there, pretty gd SQ I would say. or wanna purchase my Zune HD ori earphone? brand new taken out from my Zune HD platinum package~

Thanks for the recommendation... I'll go check them out. (your Zune is out of my budget though .. )

Happy CNY, everyone!
