I was the proud, happy owner of the Creative Zen Aurvana In-Ear Headphones. Sure, the wire had problems when you bumped it, but the comfort and sound were great.
When the left side started going bad after using them daily for over a year, I decided to get these cheaper earphones.
The first thing I noticed was that I couldn’t get a decent fit with any of the three sizes. After owning these for a few months, I’m still not sure which is the best fit. The Aurvana smalls worked great for me, but they go deeper into the ear, and it seems that the large buds work better on the 830.
The second thing I noticed was that no matter which size I used, the bass was overpowering. With the Aurvana’s there was a great balance between bass and treble, but with the EP-830′s the treble is drowned out by the bass. After three months of using these, I’m getting used to the sound, but when I put the Aurvana’s back in, the difference is noticed immediately.
The third thing is that if played a little loud, the person next to me can hear the music. That’s no good if the person next to you is your wife who’s trying to go to sleep. I’m not talking full blast, either.
The fourth thing is that they are not truly noise isolating. With the Aurvana’s, people could walk up beside me, and I’d never know. If the TV was on, it wouldn’t bother me in the least. But not with the EP-830′s.
The fifth disappointment kind of shocked me: wind noise while walking inside the house! Just regular walking causes a very annoying whistle in my ears. (This has only happened with the medium buds, so I need to experiment with the small and large.)
The sixth disappointment, which was discovered soon after I first bought these…I can hear myself sing while wearing them. This is the worst of all. No one should have to suffer from hearing me sing, including me! (Okay, to be honest, I can hear myself sing with both earphones, but it seems amplified with the 850′s.)
I’m sure that those who like a little more bass, probably would love these things, but if you like the full range of music in a song, you may want to check out something else.
Even with all of the complaints, I’m going to hang on to these a bit longer, especially since I can’t stand the idea of throwing away $50. But I’ll probably look for something else in a few months, and give these away.
Oh, yeah, one other thing: the buds collect lint.

Pros: excellent bass, travel pouch, small and nice design.
Cons: unconfortable and they might get dirty too easily. The cable is made with a material with some king of grip that makes difficult to take it out from the travel pouch. On the field: First the left earphone start doing a fuzzy noise at middle range volume and then the jack stop working within 4 months. I had replaced with the Senheiser PX 100

My CREATIVE EP-830 arrived yesterday. My Skullcandy INK’D sounds more crisp and produces more bass.
My Sennheiser CX 400 is in transit; I will update everyone with another comparison soon.
EDIT: I am in possession of of the Sennheiser CX 400 now. The Sennheiser CX 400 sounds clean and offers good bass.
Verdict (best ranked first):
1. Sennheiser CX 400 – Clean sound, accurate imaging, neutral bass (considered hi-fidelity IMO).
2. Skullcandy INK’D – Offering the best punch (though a bit exaggerated) and the best value.
3. CREATIVE EP-830 – Average performance that I can still live with.
Note: I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 ATHM50 Studio Headphones.

These are pretty good for cheap earbuds. I run with mine and they stay in fairly well as long as I use a clip on my shirt. They have decent sound quality but awesome they’re not. For the money, you can’t go wrong.

comfortable earphones with excellent sound. they stay put when walking around and (my favorite) don’t push too deep into your ear when lying in bed.
i think they sound just as good as the aurvana earphones that cost twice as much.
avoid the mistake that i made ($50 for stand-alone purchase)and buy these phones with the 8gb x-fi zen player for $69. it’s a great deal.
