Creative EP630, 830 or JBL Reference 220 are the best I think at that price range. May be razer morray as well xD

Agree.but IMO,replace 830 for soundmagic pl-30,a bit more spending but better performance per value ratio.heard 830 got comfort issue

1) Headphone
2) RM200 +/-
3) James morrison, John Lennon, Chris Brown
4) DAP / Laptop
5) Any
6) Close / Semi open

Help me please.

Some also said that pl-30 is not the most comfortable...

Probably because of the design of the ear tips. You want it to be more comfortable, go get urself a custom ear tips xD

It's also very hard to get a good seal with PL30. That's probably the reason it's not that comfortable. It's interrelated these things. lol

Owh, really? Then does 830 better than pl-30? I mean in comfort issue.

PL-30 looks like cheap IEM to me xD 830 more better outlook

well can't agree more with u.830 does look exclusive.so does 830 a better buy than pl-30?

if u like those soft type pop song better take PL-30
if u like those boom boom type english pop song better than 830

DOn't forget JBL haha. Superb nice IEM at that price, to me at least, it sounds like a Rm200++ IEM. Way better than the EP630 for sure, 830 not sure coz nvr try it xD

Yea really. The EP830 design is more conventional, making it easier to get a better seal thus gives better comfort.

JBL reference 220?
When I first time listen, I was shock.. Why an IEM got wow effect
vocal laid back, cant listen clearly..
After burn in abt 80 hours, that wow effect not so heavy.. vocal come front abit but still lose to EP 630
however, if compare wif detail and bass, EP 630 lose alot to JBL
N one more point, JBL is open type IEM so when i use on LRT, i still can hear some noise..

I just got myself this pair of IEM..

iFrogz Ear Pollution Timber with Mic..

Can't wait to try it out Heard it's quite good, given the price point..haha..

Haha, to me the EP630 is no where near the JBL xD You need to change the ear tips given to get better seal, I'm using IE8 ear tips on it, it improves the seal a lot Also IF you like the JBL SQ, you'll definitely like Sennheiser IE8

Female? What talking you?

IE8 is not under this “budget” topic, right? If one can stretch the budget, should consider SP1 instead.
Btw, are you letting go your extra 220s?

Does the 830 and PL-30 have the same SQ to be compared?
If one likes phone that emphasis on vocal and bass, can consider PL-11 which has no comfort issue, from some review, it is better than 630 in a way. Might refer to http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1111995&hl=

Haha, doubting that you're female only xD nth much.

Added on August 23, 2009, 4:04 pmNono, I'm just saying that those ppl who finds the JBL SQ suits them will definitely like the IE8 as well. Nay, I only hv one JBL left with me, I'm keeping it I saw one seller selling new one at RM50 only at garage sale.

We were discussing the design and comparing the comfort (and seal issue) which imo EP830 > PL30.

But sound-wise, EP830 simply cannot beat PL30 which has a totally different signature with more mid-range, much wider soundstage and a lot better detail.
