Creative EP-830 Headphones

 

These good-looking buds settled well and stayed put in our testers' ears, and the sound quality is excellent. These have noise-isolating technology that reduces external noise and sound leakage. Included are three different sizes of earpieces for...

Isolate yourself from the outside world

Powerful bass response, crisp high-range

Muddy bass, invasive

Creative’s EP-830 in-ear headphones are a great option if you need decent sound quality as well as noise isolation. The headphone cable can cause a bit of discomfort if it's not secured, but these are decent quality in-ear buds.

Creative EP-830 review

 

A lack of weight and drive mean that the Creative EP-830s are only worthy of three stars

Dig up reasonable detail

Lack weight and drive ; bass sounds lightweight

Unbalanced sound means that these buds are just not worth the money

Creative EP-830 [Review]

 

In-ear headphones that promise to offer better sound quality than its older sibling - EP 630

Sound quality, comfortable to wear, decent noise isolation, travel pouch provided in bundle

Slightly sharp mids and treble

Creative EP-830 3.5mm Gold-Plated Connector Canal Noise Isolating Earphone

 

I bought these headphones to replace Sony Fontopia headphones that were close to 3.5 years old. The tips on those were constantly falling off and getting dirty (thinking back on it... I doubt shoving those into my ear canal was a wise decision, but you...

Pretty good sound, does a good job at canceling noise, though not superb. Rubbery tips are stable and stay on

Y-style headphones (not around neck style) offer less stability

Great earphones.

 

Best when used in a still position. I am using them while coding and it is not perfect.

Great quality ; Nice to have 3 different size earbuds ; Looks great

I think this is going to be common to all Earphones of this type. There is an audible thump whenever the wire touches just about anything

Creative EP-830 3.5mm Gold-Plated Connector Canal Noise Isolating Earphone

 

Overall, these are the best earbuds I've owned so far. The sound crispness was better than I expected. The cable uses a Y-split rather than the wrap-around style that I've seen with some other earbuds. Personally I prefer this but others may not. I do...

I already owned a pair of the EP-630s and bought these so I could leave one with my iPod and the other with my laptop. I have to say the sound quality is noticeably better with these, and I already liked the 630s. I listened to several songs with each...

For whatever reason, these seem a little less effective at noise isolation than the 630s. Don't get me wrong; they still do a decent job, but I'll probably be using the 630s on any flights

I bought the EP - 630's from this site about 6 months ago. They are amazing. They were the best head phones i have ever had, until about 2 weeks ago. The left ear bud became very quiet, and the right earbud is slowly dying also. I am planning on buying...
