The pole has no meaning whatsoever, anyway I'd go for the EP630, while the sony looks good on paper, its made elusively for India and doubt it will be any good, also I found no reviews for it, better to go for all trusted.

I think it will also depend on the build quality. Ep630 ofcourse has a sub-standard build quality, especially the thinness wires.

I already own a Creative EP-630 (bought from flipkart). I'M pretty much impressed with the sound quality. Bass is very clear.
I have no knowledge about those Sony EX100LP. I've used Tekfusion Twinwoofers, Soundmagic es18, JBL TEMPO On the hear headphones. I would suggest you to go for the EP-630 if you are going to use this for listening to music. Go for Sony if you use it for movies.


Extra note : Creative EP630 doesnt seem to be tangling much but the wire looks cheap but it was strong enough to hold my tablet when i dropped it (IT SURVIVED:p).

basically creative ep630 is released before 3 years and the sony 100lp is a new variant ...... hence the number of reviews would be less only......only the person who used both can score this better

EP630 was a good buy years back, now there are much better options available.
Sony does have some good earphones but don't about the particular model listed above.

I own both...
SONY has advantage of little clarity..u can hear some instruments playing which is absent in creative. This is achieved by sacrificing some bass. Noise isolation and ear buds fitting to ears is not as good as creative.
CREATIVE excels in bass...clear heart pounding bass...noise isolation is better, the earbuds fits perfectly....the wire however is not as good as sony. Further, listening longtime to creative is little irritating than sony.

My vote is for Creative 630

i've seen that almost everyone on this forum choose soundmagic es 18 when it comes at ~1000 price range ....

Go For Samsung S2 original headphones..
