QUOTE(scy320 @ Oct 29 2008, 01:31 AM) how is the earphone after burn in? Still cant compare it as I just burned it for hours, 10 hours I think? Still have to wait and see....   QUOTE(Kevio @ Oct 29 2008, 11:00 AM) Thanks for the feedback. Saw the EP830 selling more than RM150 (if my memory didn't fail me). Any idea if EP630 can still be purchase for RM60? If yes, mind to share where? Thanks. Also, can EP635 be purchase from internet at RM60 as well? BTW, the sound quality of both EP630 & EP635 are the same, right? The only difference is EP635 is the necklace type, right? Kev, you can order your EP-630 at RM 58 (include postage) here:Added on October 29, 2008, 11:07 am Huh?? EP630 comes with a pouch?? How come mine doesn't?? Paid RM99 & no pouch! Did I purchased a fake??  How much did you purchase yours?http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=21&t=438687 Some of us here in the forum get from this guy, pretty reliable. I bought mine here. The pouch might not be included for the shelf-version as it comes with a "case" already.  Not to worry, those on-shelf EP-630 doesn't comes with a pouch either, I've checked a few shops around. |

Been using it for a few weeks already. It sounds good, met my expectations.
No longer noticed the bassy sound, maybe enough burn-in? Or I've used to it already? |

As Dry Pillow suggested, use a radio to burn for more efficient energy-saving. Burn it on the computer can be quite costly in terms of your electric bill.
But anyway the result will be the same no matter what u use to burn in. |

From my 1st impression, EP-630 is kinda bassy.
Now it sounds better, after hours of burn in (like I said, really lost count alrdy)... Just wait and hear the result.  This post has been edited by CLF: Nov 4 2008, 01:30 PM |

The more you burn, the better it sounds.

Some say use the white noise in radio to burn in, but anyhow pretty much any sort of songs would do.

For new EP-630 owners, you really should burn in the earphone to achieve the best sound it can offer.

burn-in is the process where you let the sound to play through your earphone continuously for hours. For EP-630 case, most are >100 hours.
just simply plug the earphone into mp3 player, laptop or radio and let it run with the sound at audible volume for days. the result can be stunning.  |

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ Nov 16 2008, 02:02 AM) Found my EP-630 waiting for me at my doorstep this morning. Earphones don't perform the best when you just got it.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. 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. |

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

Haven't try out CrossRoads earphones but almost 99% positive reviews on them.
Anyway tight budgeters should do fine with EP-630. When you got enough funding you can explore better ones. |

I prefer IEM to clip-on earphones. At least IEM can somewhat cancel out the outside noise, while clip-on unit u cant really filter out much sounds.
Btw I tested a pair of Shure during PC Fair, not really like it though. Maybe is because it's worn out, or so.  |

KSC 75 may be good but it doesn't isolate the noise like IEM does.
I think it is good for indoor or quiet environment, but not really for the outdoors. Now I prefer use IEM at the outside. |

QUOTE(cyew86 @ Jan 18 2009, 03:12 PM) so CLF, after using both Earpump and EP-630, which is a better choice? Hmm..... EP-630 is quite bassy, but EarPump is kinda sharp. Both are good entry level earphone, so it's hard to say which is better. QUOTE(roticanai92 @ Jan 18 2009, 03:47 PM) anybody wanna try ep830?? EP-830 looks like a redesigned 630 to me, not sure bout the performance though, but always quite happy with Creative's earphones. If possible I'd like to try Aurvana IEM.... |
