Creative EP-630 Earbuds Reviewed

October 10, 2008

The Creative EP-630 earphones is designed with ergonomic soft silicon in-ear earbuds for excellent noise isolation. Powered by quality Neodymium magnet transducer, the EP-630 offers high-quality audio reproduction with extraordinary bass that is ideal for digital music playback. Includes 3 different earbud sizes for the perfect fit.

This pair of earbuds from Creative great for portable mp3 players. It's small, lightweight, sounds great and very comfortable in the ears. The bass is there and the highs are perfect. It comes with the medium size silicone buds already mounted on. I use the medium size as it fits well and produces great bass. The smallest size silicone buds does not produce much bass at all in my ears. To produce the right amount of bass, the buds have to fit well in the ear, completely sealing the ear canal. Replacing the buds is extremely easy, just grab and pull off. To insert a new size bud, push into the petruding speaker.

Many complain about the noise when the cord is hit with something. You do hear the cord noise but that's only when no music is playing. Not a big deal. The cord is also very thin and flexible. I would handle it carefully, especially when removing the ear buds from the package.

The noise canceling feature is amazing. Once you put these in your ears and turn the music on, you cannot hear any ambient/outside noise at all. Also, with loud volume, other people cannot hear your music. Great privacy for you and for others.

Pros:
-Much better quality than stock earbuds from portable devices.
-Bass is present, not so with stock buds.
-Fantastic Noise-Canceling.

-Comfortable for long periods of use.

-Carrying case not included.
-No volume control.
