Just my 2 cents.

I've own a pair of ep 630 which i have been using for the past 4 years. Got it for less than a hundred back then. And for the past 2 years, I've bee looking for a pair of new earphones. Of course, something which is affordable.

I've tried sennheiser, a-jays, bose and more recently, a pair of Soundmagic pl30 which i recently bought. Somehow I still prefer the pair of creatives.
The Pl30 have great sound stage, no doubt but the vocals seemed to be muffled. I can't get over that part.
