This review is from: Creative EP-630 Noise Isolating Earphones (Black) (Electronics)
I thought I’d add my tuppence worth as I’ve owned my EP-630 earpohnes for well over a year now and am still extremely pleased with them. I’ve not had any problems with them and would strongly recommend them to anyone.
Pros:
-They block out background noise almost completely so they are ideal for use on public transport.
-They don’t leak any sound, so when you’re using them the rest of the world doesn’t have to suffer your abysmal taste in music.
-The sound quality is excellent. Not only can the earphones handle very high volumes without distorting, they also produce a very full bass sound.
-The earbuds are surprisingly comfortable once you get used to them and they won’t randomly fall out.
-They’re a very reasonable price.
Cons:
-Hmmmm… Well, I guess the wire is bit long, which can very occasionally be a nuisance.
-I wouldn’t wear them while eating crisps. They amplify the crunching sounds in your head alarmingly.

I’ve been using the EP-630 for years. They are simply the best headphones available at this price. Massive bass, outstandingly clear and very qualityBeware when buying on amazon though. At least one of the traders on here is selling very low quality fakes, and I suspect some of the bad reviews on here are for the fake item rather than the genuine Creative headphones. I have currently raised this issue with Amazon though they don’t seem to be doing much about it. Genuine Creative headphones whether in the bubble pack or in the cardboard ‘eco’ pack should come with a genuine Creative warranty. They are also of the standard type with both left and right ‘phones on equal length leads. If your headphones came without a warranty, have asymmetric (round the neck style) leads or are anything less than great quality you should get in touch with Amazon immediately.

EP-630 Earphones. The best for the money, 29 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative EP-630 Noise Isolating Earphones (Black) (Electronics)
I’ve tried a lot of headphones over the years being a pro musician, but these have 3 major plus points: 1). They have excellent freq response – deep bass, clear treble, a very good overall sound. 2). They keep out much of the noise going on around you. This isn’t total isolation (for that you are going to need something like the Shure E2c, or Etymotic ER6 and the price that goes with them!). This has the huge hearing health benefit of enabling you to turn the volume of your player right down because you are not fighting with other sounds. Better for the ears (and those around you who don’t want to hear your music). 3). The price. Other models from top brands like Sony, Phillips, Senheiser etc. in my opinion are not as good – yet they cost more.
Down side? In my view they are somewhat delicate compared to ‘closed shell’ plastic models. So don’t expect to stuff them in the bottom of your bag and not to damage them eventually. It would have been good for Creative to supply a little case to avoid this.
