Anyone know how large the download is?

Cool, thanks. Is it worth burning these in overnight?

Thanks, must just be a regional difference. They sound great, very pleased with them.

Hi, I just bought a pair of Creative EP-630 Canalphones from Dick Smith Powerhouse (in Australia) for around $33. When I got them home, I noticed the packaging looked a little different to what I had seen online. Do these look genuine? (click thumbnail for larger image) (headphones...

Hehe, I'm convinced now. Thanks, this forum is excellent!

I haven't been able to find them in Dick Smiths, and apparantly the can't order them in. I can get them from centre.net.au for around $40 delivered, so that's probably my best bet.

Yep, I've decided to get them. Now to find somewhere that sells them... I found some more threads about both models, must have been using the Search thing wrong... :P

So you have the Warehouse in NZ eh? Pictures are down, I wouldn't mind looking at them.

Hi, I made a thread a while ago about buying some canalphones for under $100, and surprise surprise, I haven't bought any yet. So, I've been looking at the Creative EP-630 and Sennheiser CX300, which I have heard are quite similar in terms of build and sound. Over here in Aus, the CX300...

Hi, I know someone who is selling a Super.fi 3 for $60 (AUS, Second hand), and was wondering how these compare with the Metro.fi which I can buy for $99 (AUS, New). I'm thinking this may be the deal I am after. Cheers!

I went looking for them yesterday, but no-one was selling them. Looks like I'll have to go a-hunting.

How closed are they? Are they loud enough on the outside to distract someone sitting say, 2m away from you? Cheers.

I just noticed some of the feedback says they appear to be fake, forget that! I found out my local Dick Smiths (electrical store) has the 630 for around $30, might as well pick them up tomorrow and see what they're like.

Do these look like genuine CX300's?

Headphones with a J cable are good, but I don't really care to be honest, I just wanted to know out of interest. The Vibes look good, but I think they might be a little too expensive for my liking. I'd like to avoid getting them from eBay and get them from headphones.com.au, which has them...

Bump.

I was always told by my mother never to stick anything larger than your elbow in your ear. :P

Thanks. My MX51's had Y cable, and that was a little annoying. Shame about the L shaped connector though...

I would also be interested in knowing what type of cables the above headphones us (e.g uneven cables or even cables), and if they have a vertical or L shaped connector. No biggy, just handy to know. Cheers.

Isolation from outside noise isn't a big deal, but leakage should be kept to a minimum. I've rounded it off too: Cheaper models: Creative EP-630 JVC Marshmallow More expensive models: Senny CX300 Ultimate Ears Metro-Fi V-Moda Vibe Shure EC2 (not likely due to price and age) Is...

Yes, well, durability is a reasonably important factor, but I don't want to put priority on durability. I'd rather have excellent sounding headphones with decent durability than decent sounding headphones with excellent durability.

Yeah, the Creative's might be okay. I had only used the bundled ones, but the non-bundled ones might be worth it. They're certainly cheaper. Never heard of V-Moda. The Vibes are around $110 (AUS) on eBay, which is okay. I certainly like the vertical plug, much prefer them to the L shaped...

Thanks, I must have been doing something wrong. The E2C's are looking like a good option, but I'm still undecided as to whether they are worth the extra $40/$80 over the Metro.fi and CX300, respectively...
