Re: Decent Headphones

Hardly breaking the bank for two sets though.
I'd deffo be happy to put a set in the drawer for these - they're a good 'phone.
Cheapest is £11 for one set on eBay, so no real issue I'd have thought.

Hope you like them mate.

Re: Decent Headphones

i also have these headphones , excellent quality for the price , just make sure they are pushed well into your ears so you get plenty of bass

Re: Decent Headphones

Get yourself one of these

http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/grah...rodid-320.html

Then have a look here

http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/ipod...nes-ct-34.html

A dedicated headphone amp is the way to go, the headphone output of the ipod is very minimalist.

Well, that or the diarrhoea song... I don't really like the Water Music though, despite liking a lot of Handel.

Suppose.

It might even have been indistinguishable from the rest of the **** in there.

Re: Decent Headphones

It was in my jeans pocket and when i pulled them up it kind of flew out. Luckily I have the Argos Accidental Damage cover and I sent it off yesterday. 15 to 20 days till i get it back though.

Don't let the price put you off - they're superb 'phones for portables.
Just to recap this thread, I bought a set of Sennheiser CX-300s last year for my Creative Zen V to use at the gym to block out the outside noise and they did a great job, unfortunately I lost one of the ear canal cushions and had lost the original set that came with it so they became redundant, I remembered this thread and that the Creative EP-630s were a rebadged set of the above so decided to chance it and order those for the replacement earbud - and as a replacement set of earphones should the Sennheiser's stop working, they arrived today and looking at the earbud, the only difference really is that the plastic on the Sennheisers is shiny (the Creative are Matt) and that the wires from the split are the same length on the Creatives (1 is shorter on the Sennheisers as you are supposed to throw one over your shoulder) but other than that they look and sound identical, and the earbud cushions are interchangable, bonus!
