Hi everybody, i have got a Nokia 2700 classic cell phone, the bundled pair of earphone are not that good :@:, So i was thinking of getting a pair of creative EP-50 earphone.

Is this good?? Have anyone of you used it before? If possible can anyone review it??
 
I've one bought about an year ago in SP road for 350 (Just after I bought, I found price was 300 elsewhere :()

I would say stay away from it. Except for the cheap price there is nothing much to talk about.

  • The sound quality is meagre.
  • Bass is audible but not pronounced (neither good nor bad)
  • The plastic build is very cheap. The plastic around the earphone looks like it may come off any time.
  • The connector build quality is not like other Creative's

I think it's going for 200/250 now. I would say better pay 250 more and buy EP-630 OEM (the DELL ones) for ~500. They're worth every 25000 more paise :D

[Btw, mine is lying unused at home now. I can give it to u for free if you can pay shipping / pick it up from me.]
 
^ I wouldn't suggest spending a lot on the earphones if you plan to use it with the 2700 classic, because you wont be able to appreciate the quality of the earphones .

I recently got a 2700 for my mom.The stock earphones were like crap, so I tried out a few of the entry level as well as high end IEMs i had lying around and then I realized the phone's internal digital to analog converter (DAC) itself is very poor .

The EP-50 should be decent, max to max try a EP-630 ,if you find it for cheap.:).

Sorry dude, I dont follow NOKIA, (I hate NOKIA - nobody except chinese makers can make uglier and worse phones than NOKIA :)) Thanks for the review anyway.

Thanks Konquerror for posting eBay link! :thanks!:

@anish_sha,

I got that price in CTC, Hyd 6 months back. The OEM ones are actually better in that they come in free black cloth carry bag :) [My dealer told me, these are the ones given free with DELL laptops - looks like DELL has some plan where you can buy additional EP-630's with any DELL laptop for discount price - this is how they get that 250 Rs price difference!] and with personal experience I can say they're the same as the retail ones (I got my bro a retail EP-630 for 850! :( last year when his ipod earphones went kaput)
 
^^^I also have OEM pack of EP630...and the cover provided with OEM packs is good and there is no difference between OEM and retails pack except warranty :). Dell sells those earbuds for Rs 350/- with laptops...you can check on Dells site by configuring a laptop...also for some laptops...they provide it as a free gift.
 
thank you everybody for your replies. I will rest for now and may be i will get the EP-630 one. Thanks once again.
