Great, But eventually broke.

By JddSizz (play.com) Read the full review

Really great earphones which blocked out the surrounding noise so i could hear my music at the best quality. Nice and comfortable ear plug.

I'm amazed these headphones have lasted over 14 months, with regular daily use and still going strong.

They lasted less than 4 weeks

By haderah (play.com) Read the full review

They lasted less than 4 weeks of normal, gentle usage. I will not claim warranty. Why wasting time and money for shipment just to get another poor quality item. I will just will buy other brand somewhere else.

Creative EP-830

By Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide.com.au)

Creative's EP-830 headphones occupy that difficult point within the portable audio market — not ridiculously expensive and audiophile-grade, but ...

Powerful bass response, crisp high-range

Muddy bass, invasive

Creative's EP-830 in-ear headphones are a great option if you need decent sound quality as well as noise isolation. The headphone cable can cause a bit of discomfort if it's not secured, but these are decent quality in-ear buds.
