Re: Creative EP-630 Earphones on Ebay?
I did a lot of research recently on silicone type earbuds, including the EP630's, as I was looking to get some. I also considered buying from that seller, iholiday, because of how cheap they were and his ad touting genuine creatives, and even how to tell the fakes! Well guess what? His are as fake as Pamela Andersons boobs, I guarantee that, and he pissed me off with the sheer NERVE he has to tout them as genuine. If youll notice, the "how to tell if theyre fake" part of his leads you to iPod earbuds, which isnt even what is being sold!!
I also asked myself if they are worth it at $7 a piece. And I thought "how good could they be at $7 apiece?". I guess it depends on who you ask. Maybe it also depends on how you get your ep630s from? Hotboxx told me his were great, but I read many testimonials from buyers of these fake ep630s saying they sound like pure crap. A common complaint is a "hollow" sound and there`s one seller on eBay who actually SAYS in his ad that he is selling fake ep630s and they sound like a 1920s radio!
Naturally, that didnt inspire me to even waste $14US on the fakes, but I found another seller on ebay selling "i-Voda" brand phones which look exactly like the ep630s. They are made by OVC, which makes many knockoff earbuds, some of which nevertheless, have gotten very good revews. One buyer of the iVoda's I queried said they were very good, better than his Sennheiser cx300 (which are known to be a bit better than the Creatives). Theyre pretty cheap so I decided that would be less risk than buying fake ep630s.
