No longer his old self

4 years ago I have already ordered the EP 630. Compared to this, the haptics has now changed considerably. The cable is very much stiffer and smoother on the surface than before. The earphone is thus less comfortable to wear and knotted much easier. For outdoor use, there is a significant, in my view, very troublesome, increase in wind noise, which of course affects the sound quality negatively. In a direct comparison on the same MP3 player "the new" is a little quieter, but otherwise identical sounding. The fit of the rubber stopper has remained the same. This in-ear earphones is still inexpensive and not bad, but, in my opinion, lost its earlier outstanding sound-price ratio.
