My comments on Panasonic HJE50
A little dissapointed on MIDs balance, too harsh which make it sounds noisy when the vocalist reach on higher pitch. Solid Bass (overclockable bass) not muffled unlike EX51.

:: Music category ::
Perfect for on classical instrument, movie score & new age. Very noisy when playing Metal.

:: Solution ::
Need to play with sound customisation to make it more balance = 'polished'

::Rival::
The Panasonic HJE50 is your best choice than Philips SHE9500, although HJE50 has 'noisy mid' you can feel the bass.

However, given 3 choice of canal phones; Logitech Playgear, Philips SHE9500 & Panasonic HJE50, personally I select Logitech Playgear .

:: Basic Comparison::
Ease listening; Logitech Playgear
Bass head ; Sony EX51
Clarity; Panasonic HJE50
Louder; Philips SHE9500

(Personal comparison preferences)
1. Logitech Playgear
Some says not worth, less details, responsive Trubass (55Hz)
2. Sony EX51
Bassy, Trubass recommended (58Hz) , suits with most DAP, jack@ss cord quality
3. Panasonic HJE50
Tight Bass, Mild Trubass response (53Hz), very potent by value, user EQ needed
4. Philips SHE9500
Weak Trubass test = failed , sound customisation required otherwise sound was szucks like hell

btw; all test base on experience, not professional test

Ive been to Creative both on Pc Fair today, The Creative in earphones EP 630 was offer for RM59 on the brochure.

he need portable headphone, the light one

bayanbaru;
Maybe the clip-phone type ?
most earphones are not design for younger person or one who have smaller ear. The bigger the better

The Panasonic HJE 50 at All IT Hypermarket sale for RM80+ (last Sunday 27-8), maybe you can checkout to confirm either the prices was right or not, bthe prices was VERY cheap (drastically from RM140 to RM80)

HJE50 is so so quality ?

Doesn bad at all, all you need is to lower the HI & trim the MIDs (via user EQ). It also has solid cable & cord quality compare to Sony EX.

Exessive bass pan would result to bass distortion, it can be happened with any earphones, Althought hje50 dont have strong bass responsed you can fell the bass. Attempting to play without proper sound tweaks can hurt your hearing, it doesn't matter either too bass or too Mids.

Perhaps you may not to increase the bass but to reduce the MID & HI below '0' for the trick. This is where users eq play the role; for balance.

For RM50 I suggest go for Sony MDRxxx 'fontopia' type, around RM40, then apply with erbuds sponge (from handset accessories shop) for comfort. The Aiwa phones also has sound production.

bass'less, weak noise isolation, more to voice clarity

I just get 2nd hand of MDRE800 (earbuds) suprising outperform my EX51 (even EX71).

I got original EP 630 (after getting the fake one ) for RM45 in lowyat* today, retail shop mostly selling for RM80.

After listening, I compare with my Sony MDREX51, Logitech Playgear, and Panasonic HJE50; The Creative EP 630 knock them all.

Not only cheap, the sound is more wider (6-23khz ) accurate & has superb bass than EX51, clear MID's fidelity, and not too harsh HI's unlike HJE50.

But the canalbase / the rubber caps is small for my ears ;even the bigger size. So, I take & replace with my EX51 rubber cap for maximum isolation. Blast!!!

*pm me for the shop name so they didn't notice & raise the prices

Storm MV500 (OEM for Creative EP480) All It selling it for RM65
But if you survey around, same floor you can get it for RM15.

He was preferably used 'earphones' than 'headphones' type.
Other good earphones is Storm ZV500, Creative EP480, Sony MDR fontopia series, Senheiser MX series.

Fontopia just a series name, some place rebrand as Nude series.
State your budget & ep series to compare. For MDR EP90 but its bloody xpensive (rm300+) not sure but driver looks similar to MDR888 (rm150+). Iv this earphones good la but not a canal types. EP640 is good, perhaps the most balance earphones I EVER use (since AIWA EX11). Strong bass, crystal clear treble & moderate mids. someone selling in garage sales. But you can get the same patent (OEM) called Storm ZV500 (now using), same cases with EP480, cheap plastic but the earphones sound quality definitely same. I suggest you try Storm ZV500 1st since the price you have to pay is RM15 only (All IT selling RM68). Alternately if you like canal phones, maybe original Creative EP630 (<RM50), bloody cheap but good

Nice audio range, dont have EX71 but reviewers mention EX71 has more bass. My EX51 has sufficient bass range maybe EX71 is overbass. But then avoid this phones due unreliable cord quality, easy tearing.

EP640 not sure for current market price but mostly above RM80,

I just bought ep 630 for RM45 last month in lowyat

could be something wrong with your player /headphones. Highly possible that youre not configure sound control properly since the test phones is branded quality one.

later (msn)

similar built quality, least what makes it better his noise isolation

fyi ; I already have both fake & original version

stop being naive like BORAT
