What are your requirements or what do you listen to mostly ? PL11 have insanely high bass , JVC has a balance but i prefer PL11 because you dont find the bass overpowering for short bursts of listening . For long hours of listening it becomes annoying . IMO
 
Do not buy any of them they are of no use in comparison to EP-630. Modified EP-630 sounds much better than any of them, in fact much better than sub 1k IEMs IMO moreover they are much reliable. "Modified" I mean just remove the grills once you got them and stuff the hole with cotton by your preference of your sound liking.

Now Creative EP-630 against PL-11 & JVC, very hard for me to take any one

pl 11 is much superior to any of the above mentioned iems ..just go for it...clear mids and punchy bass (unlike the boomy ep 630)
 
Happen to own both. PL11 is much superior than JVC MM. In other words IMHO JVC MM is crap.

what Ep 630 Bassy than PL11 !! Heads will explode with that kind of bass .

ep 630 is just plain boom boom boom...thats plain vanilla bass which is neither controlled nor punchy...pl 11 is more controlled and refined (compared to ep 630 atleast ) if you are a basshead you will like hippo boom boom...the name does justice to the iem ...if the op had a wider budget i would have suggested the mee m6 for bass...its tighter and way more controoled and enjoyable...although overall its very bright and not neutral.....

to the op, just get pl 11 ....getting ep 630 is absolute foolishness.
 
No doubt what our members said about EP-630 is absolutely correct but once you modify them you wont be able to believe that you are using the same IEMs, the difference is huge. Top of it if you replace the rubber tips with foam tips and use the larger one it will make its sound stage bigger and bass looses its boominess and it becomes punchy.
 
First of all thanks to all here.

I'm fan of tight bass, not boom typo. Had lots of words for Ep-630 v/s PL-11. I drop EP-360 aside for sure.

But still in dark on my basic question JVC MM v/s PL-11. There is very close tie I believe and that's reason i cant choose either of one.

If you are so hell bent buying one of these go for PL-11 its better than JVC. I have used both.

same here , i have used both and pl-11 is better and on a side note its much better looking and comes well packaged, jvc ones look like cheap china pieces packed in a see through plastic.
 
+1 for PL11

I too was in your shoe sm time back.

Was on ep630 for 3 years and 5 months back grabbed a pair of pl11 and never regretted my choice.

Music sounds amesomely soothing + you get lots of ear tips to choose from and thats where it scores worthy in terms of bundled stuff as to other similar range iems.

I keep on experimenting with various music with each ear tips....

one more vote to PL-11.

one of te ites who had both described that if you are a fan of jhankaar beats type of songs
<
then you can go with jvc MM.
 
Dear all colleagues on board...

thanks for sharing details.

I zeroed down to PL-11 & M2P having though of one advance and another from entry level.
