it's price is 1050rs. I bought it couple of months ago and they are pretty good.

When I asked Sony World, they said that it wont' come with any warranty and that if it is damaged in 3 days, they can replace it.

Like many others, my EP630 has less volume in the left channel now after about a year and limited usage. But the sound quality was really good.

has anyone wondered that the imbalance could be because of excessive hearing?
I mean the imbalance could be because of imbalance in our hearing...

Of course there can be imbalance in hearing. But why many people are complaining of the imbalance of EP630 only and that too after using it for months?

In fact even I seemed to get imbalance in the EP 630 only after a month or so, the catch was that my right phone was giving less sound. But even I think it is coz of hearing imbalance in our ears and not phones. Swapping the sides seemed to eliminate imbalance to a certain degree for me.

These bud type earphones looks cool but does more damage to ears. Choice is yours.

Nothing does harm to you or your hearing if you play music under safe level!!!!
The next thing I'll hear is to stop eating , cause eating makes you fat!!! :)

As per the topic, no my earphone malfunctioned, as swapping the sides also produce imbalance(obviously on the other side)......

So, coming back to the topic, kindly recommend me some more!!!
I had my eyes set on Sony MDR-EX32LP, but as desibond said it has no warranty!! What if, it causes hearing imbalance too, I won't be able to change it too.......that'll suck!!!

I would recommend an Bose inear, which comes under 1k. I don't know the exact model no. It sounds superb, even better than the EP-630 IMO.

You mean 10k or did you mean Boes in-ear? :)

@@eggman, ex32lp is not as loud as EP-630, which I feel is certainly a good thing as I won't be able to put ear-shattering sound. It does it's job well and also, it isolates the sound well.

Did you get it in offer?

It's current price is 5k and it does fit in everyone ears. That is one major drawback it has. And it is totally waste of money when you get much much more superior shure and sennheiser headphones for same price [range]

Nope it wasn't on offer, but the dealer was selling it without warranty.
But it sounded awesome, I would have bought it if only I had money back then.

how is ep-630 compared to sony MDR-EX32LP?
i have heard many users of ep 630 complaning of left right sound in imbalance after few months of use so should i avoid ep630?
also which is best for long hours of listening?
price difference ep630 for 650rs. while sony for 1050rs.

so which is the best buy i donot want my earphones to be damaged in few months after buying?other good options?
