 Great sound and comfort December 1, 2008

I've never been comfortable with ear buds before, but these are remarkable. They remain stable with multiple movements yet remain comfortable. The sound quality is excellent -- not tinny like so many small headphones. I would recommend these without qualification.
 shocking review November 24, 2008
Greg Smith (Athens, GA)
I have had these headphones for just under one year (purchased in Jan. 2008)and they have performed wonderfully for the duration. They have gone to a few different regions of the country and have been used in a few different environments, but they are used on a near daily basis on my university campus. Recently though, and I'm talking about within the past two weeks, they have started shocking me in ears, my left ear specifically. The only thing I can think of is that there may be a short somewhere and the cold is making it worse (I'm studying finance, not electronics, so forgive my technical ignorance). Since this problem did not happen in the early winter months of 2008, I'm guessing a year of wear and tear has created the short and the normal winter static shocks are bringing it out. Again, that is just my uneducated guess. Regardless, the sound on these head phones is really good. Great highs, and deep lows. I have noticed a bit of ringing/buzzing occasionally but that may be my ipod/laptop. I would like to rate these headphone higher but my ears are at stake here. I'm going to continue enduring the sporadic shocks until Christmas when i get some Sony MDR-V150 over the ear phones.
I sure hope no one else has this problem.

Suprisingly Great November 21, 2008
Mark P. Robbins (Lambertville, NJ)
Really shocked by the quality of these. I got them as a temporary replacement for my super fi 5 headphones while i sent them back to be repaired. They were lighter, sounded about as good, and had a way better fit. I never got around to sending the super fi 5's in to get repaired and now i just had a cord snap and i'm in for another pair if i can't get them fixed.

I used to believe that earbud headphones were hopeless. I had tried several pairs, but none fit my ear, none had good sound quality, and none stayed comfortable after extended use. That is, until I found the Creative EP-630s.
I received my pair with my Dell Inspiron laptop last year and figured they were a cheap freebie. Boy, was I wrong. These headphones single-handedly shattered any negative bias I had against earbuds.
When I first put them in my ears, I was astounded. The soft silicone casing created a snug fit to my ear canal. This both sealed out ambient noise effectively and prevented the earbuds from slipping out accidentally. I could go running with these headphones without any problems with them falling out. In addition, the soft silicone made it possible to wear these headphones for hours without getting uncomfortable in any way. I was also impressed with their sound quality. Not only could I hear more intricacies of my music due to the lack of ambient noise, but the music was incredibly well-equalized. I could hear the highs and lows clearly and loudly. I loved the shaped of the jack and the construction of the cable. This was indeed a solid product.
It was a sad Monday morning when I accidentally crushed my first pair of EP-630s under my computer chair. Desperate for headphones, I rushed out to buy a similar Philips pair, but they simply were not the same. I quickly ordered a new pair of EP-630s, and I couldn't be happier with them.
