I can't find any of them in the UK without paying quite a premium price.

Need a good comfy pair of headphones that go over the ear, have good bass and vocals. Cord should not be too long and definitely not coiled, if it is then the cord should be replaceable. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Quote:   Thanks! I guess I will go with the RX900. This is for home use, I guess the RX900 is too big to take out. What is the difference in comfort like between the two?

Two different headphones, one over and the other on the ear. Assuming one can get both for the same price, which is the best for all round sound quality?

Quote:   Thanks for the suggestion. Where can I get that over here in the UK for £50?

I am looking for a pair of comfortable headphones which sound nice with voices (for movies), rock, electronic and chill groove. So far I've come to the conclusion that the Creative Aurvana Live fits the bill. Any other ideas? Oh yeah, I love my bass!

Quote:   Thanks for your recommendation. The SHE ones you recommended all seem still quite low end, I wouldn't imagine them being any better than the EP-630. And the ATH-CKM500 I can only find on ebay, and they're a bit expensive.

Bump!

I really like the sound of the Creative EP-630, but unfortunately they always end up breaking in under a year. Also they sound quite high pitched and generally unpleasant are really high volumes. But still, I really like the clearity of the sound, and was wondering what sort of headphones have...

Quote: Thanks, that'll do the trick!

  Quote: Best idea yet, but it will cost a lot to send back, and they don't refund postage. Will having the mic button held down by something be find for the headphone's health?

Quote:   That's a good idea, but I'd rather return it. And yeah, recabling is out of the question, lol. I've found a way to keep the mic button held down, will this in any way damage the earphones?  

So I should just return this, unless there is a way to disable the mic.

Quote: Thanks, it seems to be working as normal when I hold the mic button down, why's that happening? What should I do?

I'm so fustrated right now, I waited so long excitedly for my M9Ps to arrive, only to plug them into my MP3 and phone to find great distortion in the sound. They work fine when I plug them in my computer, but as soon as I plug them in my android phone or zen vision m the sound is heavily...

Thanks again for the help Groove, ordered them : )

Thanks for that Groove! Are you guys sure the M9s are better than EP 630s?

M9s are good, unfortunately they are £20> everywhere.. :/

My terrible UE 220s recently obrke and was fully refunded my £18, which I'm very happy about. They were totally not worth it, I much preferred the sound and comfort of Creative's EP630, so I was considering buying that again. But since I'm willing to spend a bit more than £10, up to £20 no...

Which of the two are better?

Quote: Lol, not really... btw, nice Stark avatar. The JVC FX300 look really good, but are out of my price range for earphones.   I want to get the UE Metro-Fi 220 but don't know if they are better than the EP630/CX300.

Quote:   The M9s are $37 with postage, and I'd have to import them. The UE Metro-Fi 220 seem like much better value at $26 and I don't have to import, plus there's a 2 year limited warranty with it.

Strongly considering the UE Metro-Fi 220 because of the price, is it a step up from the EP630 and CX300?

Thanks guys! Any other recommendations?

I've been through numerous pairs of these EP630s, now I'm ready to move on. I really liked the EP630's sound, although there wasn't enough bass, it's built really weak and just breaks easily. I'm now looking at the $20-$30 range for an IEM with better sound and build quality and is available in...
