http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-vded1lDlg Check out me unboxing these, got them nearly two weeks back and I have to say that they are fantastic value for money. Thanks, will post a detailed review in a week.  

All right, Thanks everyone for the help. I am gonna get them tonight from my local store and give my first hand on impressions and then review. Any info regarding burn in time or they are good to go straight from the box??  

EP 630 are classic entry lever ear phones, I used to have them like 3 years back and loved it to the core. I think you can move on to something like ATH-CKM 500, Even i am about to buy them and many people recomended me that. If you into a lot of bass, May be you can go for Shure S215 or ATH...

Quote:   Thanks for the detailed response. Well yes, the comfort of Sound Magic PL50 was the only reason which made me stick to them. So it will be the CKM500's. I looked at the thread and there are another set of earphones ATH CKS77 which retails for like 90 dollars here, so 20$...

So finally my Soundmagic PL50 deserted me yesterday. We were together around two tough years but past 6 months, I used some glue /adhesive tapes to fix them. Ultimately , they are garbage now. I already own a Audio Technica ATHM50 however, for my cell phone and while travelling I need something...

Quote: Thanks for the reply. I guess AKG Q701 are out of my budget as I can spend max. 200$, Including the Headphone itself and amp. So, Is HD 558 the best option? Is the sound quality considerably better than HD 518, I mean are the extra 50$ worth it? Just asking as Have heard on...

When you go to a store, Stop a person from buying Beats by Dre, and feel that you are the pacifier and saved the world from yet another audio crime. I reallly did, last night saw a bloke purchasing Beats Solo, sat down, Smoked a nice Cigarette and explained him about the crime he was doing, The...

Hi guys,   This is my first entry in Head Fi. Would call my self an amateur Audio Lover not Audiophile. :P   I have the Sennheiser HD 457 for around 2 Years and Want to move to something better now.   First of all, I like Open style of headphones . I hardly need isolation as I will...
