Good Citizen EP, The - Kayser

Advantages: Cheap and Brilliant Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Common problem with sound going in one of the earphones.

...I bought these Creative EP-630 earphones after I had the Sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia earphones for about 2 years and was really impressed by them apart from the rubber on the wire. It felt very flimsy and cheap and if you rolled the cable in your fingers you could feel the wire moving about. When they were about 18 months old the rubber started breaking and exposed bare wire. These earphones were £26 when I bought them and for only 2 years worth I thought this was a bit expensive, so I started looking for good quality cheap ones. While in the process looking for new earphones, people were recommending the Creative EP-630 as a brilliant all rounder with great sound and good quality for a brilliant price.

Advantages: Simply Excellent
Disadvantages: None

...Creative EP-630 I have recently tried creative EP-630 and it cost a quarter of a similar pair of Bose phones that I'd normally go for.

Advantages: good noise isolation, very strong base, no distortion, doesn't leak sound
Disadvantages: feels too fragile

...people, but I had to change them around a few times to find that out. These headphones are also comfortable to wear. When you put them in it may feel weird, but soon after, you will not really notice them at all. Sound>> To get the best sound out of these headphones they have to be in the ear properly. That took me time to do these were the first pair I had which were in-the-ear style. Once I had them in I noticed immediately that about 90% of the outside noise was removed. (Not ideal when someone is calling you, or walking across the road, ideal when you are in a plane or at home) When I started playing a music track I immediately noticed these have very strong and intense bass, and also that they sounded much, much better than my previous headphones. These headphones also had very clear mids and the lows were also good. The volume has... Read review
