This past weekend I was doing laundry when I found that my iPhone headset, was in one of my pants pockets. Then a few days ago I lost my back-up iPod headphones, which was really disappointing. Luckily I remembered a little extra that I got with my laptop.

When I opened my M1530 notebook and found the Creative EP-630 In-Ear Headphones I didn’t really think anything of them. When I got my first iPod back in 2004, my parents bought me the iPod In-Ear headphones [not realizing the iPod came with headphones] and I never really used those. I always thought that the sound was too low and it made everything around me sound weird. 

After using these headphones for a few days, I have really grown to LOVE them. When you are listening to music, you get a more rich sound, rather than a diluted sound from ambient noise. I can hear bass more, as well as an overall crispness to the audio. It’s also great for the environment I’m in [college] because I usually listen to music when I’m working on a drawing or project and need to be able to focus on what I’m doing with minimal, if any, distractions.

The only downside I really have with these is that the rubber cover of the buds tend to get a little dirty from being in your ear, but that is to be expected. They are, after all, IN EAR. But the build of the over all headphones more than makes up for it. They are very sturdy yet compact and elegant. 

I would definitely recommend this pair of headphones to anyone who is looking to get something better than your standard iPod headphones. They are very good quality, at a really reasonable price. Plus if you have an iPod Touch, iPhone, or Black iPod, it would match a lot better than the current iPod/iPhone headphones do!

I really want to go back and get my iPod headphones from home so I can compare the two, which I probably will when I go home Thanksgiving break. I may do a comparison post then, so stay tuned for that!
