Need a good, inexpensive IEM for my Zune 80, no amp.

Seriously considering EP-360s, but are there any that are equal to or sound better than KSC-75s? Any other suggestions like j-Jays or PK3s are welcome.

I'm 99% certain that they are identical except for the logo. Go for the cheaper one.

 

[Kuyt]

Yeah, I've heard that a lot.

You have any experience between the 2?

 

[acegazda]

I have the ep630s and really like them. They are significantly cheaper than the senns I think it's like $25 as opposed to at least $50.

Limited experience with the CX300, plenty with the EP630. I sold the CX300 after a couple of days and kept the EP630 as gym earphones because they sound the same to me. They do the job as advertised but aren't anything extraordinary. The senns are not worth $60 (Canadian gouging) but the creatives are worth the $15 I paid IMO. They both lose to the KSC-75 in every department except isolation and maybe portability. If you intend to use them often and can splurge a bit you should consider Denon C700s - the extra money is about the price of dinner at a restaurant (at least, that's my rationalization). C700s utterly destroy EP630s.

 

[acegazda]

Dude that's a mad expensive dinner.

 

[bashot]

Not really. Not for two anyways... I guess the significant other loses out on this one, LOL. I was thinking $25 for EP630 vs $100 for C700. At the extreme you have $20 vs $200 (canadian MRSP), which is insane.

edit: There's a pair of new C700 for sale on ebay for ~$105 shipped.

Oh, no, the senns are much more muddier than the EP-630s.

X3i's make a great combo with the Zune 80 in my opinion.

Its nice to see some honest advice when you're selling the CX-300s. But I didn't hear a difference. Maybe there's batch variance?

oh ok, I was gonna say, the c700's go for $160 new on amazon.

IDK, but I traded a member my EP-630's a while back for his CX300's and as soon as I put the CX300s in, I though, omg it's so bassy and muddy. They could be the same, but from what I remember it seemed a lot different. I took the little screens off mine (ya know, the little screen-looking filter).

The Denon C351 are supposed to be a huge upgrade over the CX300 and EP630. Sorry, but I can not find the thread.

Denon AH-C351 $49.99

 

[Kuyt]

So, C351 it is?

How does it compare to EP-630s and KSC-75s?
