In-Ear Headphones? · DIGIT-ARC

S

I had a Creative EP-630 which has stopped working now :-(

...

And I was wondering which one should I go for now. Pretty decent base and treble is my requirement.

I was looking at the EP-830 but it seems it's out of stock everywhere.

My budget is around 1500.

I would prefer if it's sum well known brand. As in Sony or Sennheiser or something...

Thanks

!

Also, where and what price can I get them for? I'm in Mumbai!

my ep-630 served me for almost a year, now the volume/performance of the right driver is almost gone. i liked them a lot.

well, bro, looks like we both gotta look for new headphones now

S

My EP-630 served me for some 18 months

!

The sound's still amazing but the left earpiece is dead :-(

.

I was also looking at the Sony MDR-EX50LP right now. Seems nice too

!

I am pretty confused what to buy now, though

. Lol

...

i've just bought ep630 1 week back. It's great

Sennheiser Inear Earphone CX 180 - 1.2K
Sony Monitor In Ear Headphones MDREX57 - 1.3K

Razer Moray Black - 1.5K

T

u can go for iball iRocker this is very reasonable and cool one in style and having gud bass and volume also

How about jvc marsmallows @ Rs550?

S

@Gauravs90 - No doubt about that! But, I already have used them... Don't want to buy the same ones again...

@mailme.manju - Thanks for the options

. Will read a few reviews and decide among them...
Edit: I seem to be impressed with the Sony one. What's the difference between the SL and LP :?:

? And eBay shows me all prices around 1.5K... Here.

@techplugger - Not really interested to buy anything iBall :!:

.

@vickybat - Neither JVC. Thanks for the option though

.

I didnt get u?

S

Well, if you check the description on the link you gave me, the first line says MDR-EX57SL.

And when you check the eBay link I posted, there's something called MDR-EX57LP too.

So, that's what I'm talking about...

Though, the Sony website doesn't say anything about the LP one.

Oh well, I just Googled it again without the keyword of the model number...
Here's what I read.

SP = Short cable
LP = Long cable
SL = Short cable with extension

Thanks for the suggestion

! Going with the Sony MDR-EX57 :-D

.

Great enjoy music..

S

You too

.

Good earphones, I have these. But a bit flamboyant in looks. I have extension cable one.

You mean the SL ones?

So, the LP ones supposedly come with a single whole cable, right?

^^Yeah SL ones

Get the extension cable ones because I usually plug my extension cord to mobo jack and interchange it with earphones and xmini speakers.

Now sure about LP ones. But I had a LP earphone before but 35LP or something, there was not extension cable with it.

I loved how compact and chic these looked, 57 LP is a bloat but better sound quality. Not bass heavy though.

S

Okay... So you suggest the SL ones...

Hmmm... Will keep all that in mind

...

^^well that depends upon you, managing long cables can be cumbersome.

S

I wonder what's the difference between the SL and LP here :!:

!
Both of them are supplied with 0.9m extension cables :shock:

.

Crazy! And the Sony website says there's no LP set for the MDR-EX57 :-x

. WOW!!

Go with the SL then.

S

Yeah... Gonna do that

!

Thanks for the help :-D

Nope.. For exercise, i'd recommend PL-21 as it has some punchy bass.. And while exercising, Bass punch turns u ON... :wink:

OK, i'm cancelling on LYNX, very painful procedure for buying and filling details. By d way Megamind, i always expect green, but ur answer comes red. I mean, i was expecting that u'll choose philips, But u r megamind, so going for panasonic earphones.

I've ordered the Philips Headphones SHE3570 (White) earphones from Flipkart, I do hope it sounds good!

Bro, i ordered too from HS18.com and it has great sound.

@ Rs.350

MegaMind said:

Megamind, i'm disappointed this time. I ordered
(1)PL-11 from ebay @ Rs.585
(2)Philips SHE3570 BLUE color from hs18.com @Rs 350

And today i received both from same courier boy. To my surprise there is no difference in both earphones sound quality, both sounds awesome. Now i think i wasted money by buying PL-11

and it has plain looks with L shape lead. Philips is in blue color, looks cute in ear,and straight lead. I checked both earphones 1st on my nokia 5230 then on micromax music phone, iPod also. I tried to find quality of sound by listening 3 different songs on both earphones one by one, and there is slight difference, compare to SHE3570, PL-11 has only 5% good sound. :evil:

--------
So guys, my experience says if u want budget earphone with great sound quality, u can go for PHILIPS SHE3570, u wont get disappointed at this price (Rs.350 only).

Can you provide more details about the bitrate of mp3s you listened to ?

Faun said:

Most of the songs downloaded from songs.pk

^^I guess 128kbps then.

use studio reference quality if you really want to compare headphones, and use a good source.... a mobile phone is NOT a good source, use a good quality pmp, or a pc with a dedicated soundcard.

What is studio reference quality my friend?

G

Get Steelseries inears or Razer moreo 1.2k-1.5k max ...
good for gaming and listening to music
also try senheissers but their low range products are not that great :/

dont go for sony ,creative and other crap and never go for skullcandy coz dey are useful just to showoff ...

i mean, dont go for compressed audio like mp3, fo for lossless codecs like these Lossless data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

dunno about the razers, but steelseries makes good headphones.
imho, you should NOT use gaming headphones and normal headphones interchangably.

and yeah, skullcandy sucks.

Buddy,320kbps mp3 is more than enough for pl11.I can not distinguish them from FLAC/ALACs even with 20k iems.

i tend to use the best
