let the [lugs get a good 'run-in (yes they need it too!) for about 24hrs to improve the SQ.

Hey, did you check creative zen vision W. It comes in 60gb version as well.
I thought you had vision W so hurriedly replied.

Anyone has posted anywhere on vision W recently ??

I use Griffin iThump with my iPod; bought those for 1750 bucks and am happy with the way they sound.

TSK, Creative EP-630 is hard to find in shops. Even if you find one, chances are that it will be fake.
Better to get it online. I got mine from Techenclave.com 'GO' (bulk order). I think there is a GO going on for EP-630s. Check TE.

No idea about Panasonic though.

tsk1979 · 28th January 2008, 13:41

Actually I am not betting on the creative because of ear bud size. Panasonic comes with 3 size earbuds, so fitting won't be a problem.

Creative also comes with 3 size earbuds.

I like creative as a brand! I think I will take the "GO".
One question though, have you used them in environments where there is loud music playing, like a gym.
I have a creative nano, and the stock earphones are drowned out because people at the gym like to listen to kaanta lagaa at full volume.

Creative EP 630 are noise canceling but if the volume is very high of KAANTA LAGA then god bless!

I picked up the Denon in-ear phones this weekend. I have not had much chance to try them out but i did compare them with a few existing ones that i had. The clarity of denon was amazing.

tsk1979 · 28th January 2008, 14:26

I am happy with the sound quality of my existing creative earphone which came with nano.
But I want the "In-Ear" types because I had the impression that they plug the ear like ear plugs do.
I have used 3M ear plugs a couple of times because of very noise heavy construction work, and they were good.
If these in ear phones fit like those earplugs, then I guess they will be good.

Another problem is in-flight.
The Aircraft is a very noisy environment with a continuous drone. I was hoping I could use these in-ear types over there.

redrage · 28th January 2008, 14:44

Can some one post me the link where in tech enclave can i order the EP 630? Can i choose the colours ? Is it door delivery?

I also travel quite frequently and can say from experience that iThump are great for air-travel. They also come with three sized ear buds, are comfortable to wear for long durations.

If you want to check other ear-phones, there is a shop in Palika which had Sennheiser, Creative and many other brands.

@amitoj: Which Denons, the C700?

@tsk1979: I have the Panasonic HJE50 and tried a couple of others too. Was not too impressed by them.

My latest acquisition is a Mylarone X3i, best bang for buck in ears I bought to date. Beats the xxx out of other more expensive ones I have tried and have. Cost about SGD70. Free shipping from jaben.net :-)
