Best Creative Headphones

Great bang-for-buck, great sound – I have been using the Creative EP-630i earphones for many years and probably many years to come. These headphones are fantastic, especially at the… Read more

price (you can find them for between $30-$50 online). Most importantly the sound is great; these headphones have a rich tone and a bias towards a heavier bass (my preference), High notes and mids are not compromised though. Beyond sound, the headphones have a REALLY handy in-line microphone which doubles as a multi function button which you can use to play, pause, skip forward & back in music and also answer and hang up phone calls. The Mic also picks up your voice really clearly. Finally, the 630's come with multiple in-ear silicone pieces so you will definitely be able to find a size that fit your ear perfectly! If you're still using apple earphones do yourself a favour and grab a pair of these! - Tom.

I love the fit, the charge length but the buttons are frustrating – I really love Creative products I love these ear buds as well however despite having a decent amount of charge, great sound quality and a great fit… Read more

they are slightly heavy and cumbersome, not too bad but the fact that I keep bumping the controls is annoying. Value for money and helpful service I would recommend them highly.

Planned obsolescence. Brittle plastic and terrible battery. Total junk – I bought these a few months ago. I haven't even had them for a year. They are total junk. Just putting the headphones on this morning and the… Read more

headphone arm snapped. I pulled off the rubber coating and found that the arms aren't made of the robust plastic you would think for something like this, they are made of cheap brittle junk plastic. The wire for the headphone is also just laid in a channel, no protection whatsoever. Plus, the 'waterproofing' where the cable hits the cheap nasty plastic looks like a dab of glue.

Have a look at these images. The headphone piece is connected with a tiny tab of metal, that will easily break the brittle plastic housing. Especially since these are meant to be malleable, as you have to twist them into position to make the bone conducting speakers rest against your head.

Plus, the battery life is appalling. I have been using them for a few months and already there is a seriously obvious battery life problem. It is around 2/3 to 1/2 the life they were when I bought them.

Design this bad can only be planned obsolescence. They are hoping these will break a few months after the warranty expires. Mine only broke this early because I use them a lot. Most people would have them break shortly after warranty.

DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES. There are heaps of other good headphones available at this premium price point. Any of them would be better. The $30 budget no name brand would be equivalent to these.
