In absolute terms, however, the EP830 is no convincing progress in comparison to the older EP630. Although the new EP830 offers a slightly better high frequency resolution than the older EP630, at the same time, however, he suffers under an over-emphasis on frequencies below 200Hz - which can not be sufficiently corrected by all equalizers. The EP830 not only thickens the sound in the bass range audible on, he changed so that (despite EQ application!) Also Mittenspektum uncomfortable. Ultimately, I would perhaps give the cheaper EP630 in preference to the 830, because it ultimately allows a more relaxed listening experience.
Compared to the predominantly used by me UltimateEars Super.Fi5 Pro or my travel listeners Creative ZEN Aurvana fall when EP830 still lower high frequency resolution - and, consequently, - poor space reproduction on, but especially the right non-transparent midrange complex musical material, caused by the excessive bass spectrum.
Those looking primarily powerful bass, good sound insulation, high efficiency and satisfactory overall sound at an attractive price, which may access. Especially in electronic music the shortcomings of the EP830 fall not so significant.
Whoever hears mostly acoustic music or complex, is the inexpensive EP830 not necessarily have a lot of fun, at least not if he otherwise uses high-quality playback components.
