ohhh...so...shud i burn my earphone now ?? as i used few months alraedy ??
doesn't matter rite??? burn how long ?? 100 hours?? 100 hours with same volume ??
continuously without turning off the player??

just use radio.. cheaper means of burning in..

aww....i dun have radio wor...how ??

Most importantly you don't need to be so strict or overly-disciplined in this burning matter. Burning process is simply keep your earphone producing sound. The longer the burning, the better the sound will become, there maybe no specific duration needed for burning. For volume just use your common sense and avoid too high volume that will damage your earphone, and there is no need to keep same volume all the time.

There is also no need to continuously burn without turn off your player. You can burn anytime at period length you like.

Remember that you are also burning when you are listening.

Since you do not have radio. then your mp3 player will be the cheaper source of burning. But then again, using mp3 player might exhaust its battery life (for certain type of batteries).

Some forumers here are willing to turn on their PC for thousand of hours just for burning. Imagine how much electricity wasted there just for this burning thing. Try to get old radio or any radio or even el cheapo radio at pasar malam. It saves your money alot in long term

Yup, environmentally friendly too

yes agree wit dry pillow, normal listen to music oso hv d effect 'burnin d earphones'..js feel it in time, its sounds wil becom mor n mor tasty~

New user reporting in~...

been using my ep630 for a week +...
bought it from Neologian...

from what u all written...
is that mean...
by burning it...just mean that u will get a better sound earlier than u not burning it...
coz anyway...u still going to listen to it...and then later...after listen on it for longer...the sound will oso get better...
right?

Found my EP-630 waiting for me at my doorstep this morning.

All excited, I did the necessary checks, got my ready-waiting MP3 player and plugged it in to test out what all the fuss was about. I sat quietly, and took my time to listen to the various genres, namely vocal, techno, eurobeat, jazz and pop. All shared something in common:

The mids to highs were severely lacking.

The bass wasn't all tight, but definitely more agreeable over my previous earphones, a Sony MDR-E801 (don't bother looking, I got it bundled with my 10 year plus Cassette Walkman and I can't find any info for them at all). I was quite disappointed when the mids and highs in comparison with the E801, were almost the same. You could imagine my dismay that my early 1990s earphones performing equally over my new EP-630. Comfort levels were definitely better, them Creatives being IEMs and the E801 being standard earphones. My ear cavity used to ache after a while with them, but now with the IEMs it's a little easier.

This most likely biased review came after a short test run with my friend's Sony MDR-EX85 earphones, yeah I know I shouldn't be comparing earphones of obviously different pricetags but you somehow, always try to believe that it sounds the same

Burning in the EP-630 for a 12 hour stretch, hopefully it'll perform better after a bout of warmup.

Earphones don't perform the best when you just got it.

Well, try to hear the difference after burning-in. Last time my stock EP-50 sounds so darn good after hours of using it, same applies to EP-630 too.

new, well dunno whether new or not, user of ep-630 reporting! just got mine from Dybre. feels so much better than the fake ones lol, even the earbuds are softer!

means you used to try out fake one? well, how do you define it as fake? O_o
I read there's guide differentiating ori & fake but I can't see and hear the difference between it.

Mind share your exp here?

any nice earbud can replace the stock ear bud?

fake one?u mean OEM product?

I suppose he mean fake not oem..

Dun really see fake creative around.. Sennheiser tend to have more fake stuff..

sorry for the late reply
i really mean fake one, i got them while in uk from ebay.co.uk

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-x-CREATIVE-EP630-E...%3A1|240%3A1318

i can tell the difference from the original easily cause of the buds, the fake ones are harder and doesn't feel like the same material as ori ones. then the cord was also worse than ori. i can hear more noise when rubbed against clothes, etc while the ori ones don't make much sound. but regarding the audio quality, i can't remember cause the fake ones spoilt a long time ago, don't have any more to compare. the cord connection at the 3.5mm jack was loose and tercabut.

From this pic itself I spotted something fishy with the earphone, not because of the packing, but the earbuds.

yup the earbuds were very stiff, not very nice on the ears. that's how the packaging really looks, even the cord look fishy.

new EP-630 user reporting in,just got mine from neologian.cable length is shorter thn i expect,just nice for my SE phone.

Sound is great for this price range, for those want better SQ then top up for more great model.

cable good for Mp3 player only, no have neck strap include >.<
