Hello digit community! I am buying a pair of in ear headphones and I am on a tight budget and want a decent one as low as possible. So far I have Creative EP 630 in mind. Is it good enough or can you suggest some better ones?

EP630 is a bass monster,it kills all aspects of music except the bass. ES18 or a Cowon EM1 is a better choice.

Dont care about the mic, its just for music. em18 and cowon em1 both seems good to me but em18 is cheaper and seems good. I am ready to spend more for better but is the Cowon EM1 worth the money?

The lowest price of ES18 I could find is Rs.575 and that of EM1 is Rs.705, should I go with the cheaper one? I want it as low as possible. How much is the quality difference between those?

If you have to go with the cheapest get the ES18. The EM1 has better build and better sound when amped or played with a powerfull device anyday. I personally prefer the Cowons tonality. Though both are great for the price they come.
