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

Bose or Bang & Olufsen. Consider budget in long run tongue.gif

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 tongue.gif

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 tongue.gif 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!!! smile.gif

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 sweat.gif 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.

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....

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.

oh i see..coz my Earpump 2 did not hv sound at all on the right side cry.gif
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?
*
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

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.

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 smile.gif
