Creative EP 630 In Ear Phones - A review of my experience

I own a 80 GB 6th generation ipod classic. Most of the time I listen to apple lossless files riped from my vinyl copies. ipod is in its own way a great piece of equipment for listening to music. It gives a very fine signal in a 3.5 mm standard earphone jack. Initially I was happy listening with the ear-buds which came with the ipod. I also listen to music from my laptop using my Technics head phone. By comparison I found that the apple's ear phone was not reproducing the bass as it was done faithfully by my headphones. With a little of market research I found that the ear canal/ in ear phones give deep bass reproduction. Initially I was attracted with brands like Shure, Senheiser, UE, Etymotic etc. Later I found that panasonic and sony (MDR) also have in earphones. I Listened to music from a panasonic earphones and it was great. I found a lot of decent feedbacks about creative EP 630. I bought it in India for Rs 750 at Ritchy street. Man I tell u, it made whole lot of a difference. The sounds were accurate. It was better than my regula ear enveloping headphones. If u properly seal ur ear canal with the silicone flanges provided, the bass becomes really remarkable. I did the comparison of apples phones and EP630 in my ipod with Munbae Vaa Song (Sillunu or kadal - ARR) in apple lossless format. I wud say that the bass reproduction was uncopparable with the apple ear buds. For that matter I dont think any other ear-buds will give that. Simultaneously with the bass all the minute trebles and ringing sounds were precisely reproduced. When you buy an ipod by shelling out a few 100 dollars, you shud definitely go for a good ear-canal phones to experience the music from an ipod. I would recommend EP 630 for listening to quality music. I am sure a Shure, Senn , UE or etymotic can be better if u have the capacity to shell out money.
