i have ran into a problem with my creative ep 635 after about 3 months of use .. the left ear bud now has about 60 % volume of the right ear bud.. i cleaned my earphones and the sound went normal next day . my friend advised me to suck to earbud so that the speaker falls into place.. it worked for sometime but after every 3 days it happens again.. it sometimes also happens with the right earbud..

what is wrong ? i heard that this is a common problem? what is the solution?

dump it and get new one. After 7 months of use, my EP-630 died and I got myself Sony MDR-EX32LP.

Try your luck by taking it to service center. You must have Bill and entire pack with you to get replacement. If they say that warranty is only for a month or two, argue with them and show creative's EP-630 page that says that the warranty is 1yr.

Hey buddy look for any tangling through the length of wire, and look really CLOSE, using magnifying lens, if not less. I also suffered and recovered from the same prob. This might help(50% chances) cuz three months aint a long time if-not always listened at max. volumes

i always listen at max volumes, so what does that mean?

and the white cable has gotten very very dirty , is there any way to clean it?

if you are always listening to it at max volumes then remember you are using your earphones at it's max work and at its maximum capabilities.... which means more excursion of the drivers....which means more tearing and wearing.......which means less life.

and about cleaning your wires use whatever you think of it first using detergent and yes do it very mildly with lots of patience.:)

bought sony earphones for Rs. 1070/-

the sound is pretty balanced unlike the high bass of ep-630.

totally satisfied.

EP-630s do go faulty very quickly ... i had to get mine replaced twice in 6 months .. after that the guy at the Service center said he won't replace it anymore .. its been working fine since
