Can Cresyn LMX-E630RL get a 4 stars?

When i first reviewed, i gave them a 5. But if i'm to review it again, it will be a 4 to 4.5 cos its design often gets in the way of getting a seal and its supplied tips are not very good or efficent. Quite a few spend the extra $16 or used their old Sony tips.

okies, after tryin out hte Cresyn LMX-E630DL, i can say it sounds pretty good on the H10 though alittle bit wee more bass would be appreciated

i used the SRS WOW and firmware 2.05 and found the Cresyn (on default eartips) pretty good!

now, instruments liek the clarinet and flutes really come out alot clearer and more articulated

hmm...its really quite good and for 42 bucks, i dun think can complain liao

i had to adjust to get a good seal and i m quite surprised with the results i must say!

If the supplied tip fit a little loose on the cresyn, (try turning it, see tight or not) use something to tighten it (eg, a small rubber washer) or widen the sound nozzle a little. (eg, blue tac or heat shrink) Ask theory about his power mod. With a tighter fit, it should be a bit more bass.

I hope you understand what i'm try to say lol.

I bought my Cresyn E630 today at funan!! Initialli wanna buy at causeway pt but rather out of the way so in the end buy at funan. But i felt deceived coz it's stated 42.90 on the box but they exclude gst...in the end pay 45 bucks...so angry. Anyway, cresyn e630 is a nice earphone. The wonders of in-ear, i can attain the same volume at vol lvl 13 on my U10 when previously i need vol lvl 21.....realli can save on my mp3 batt.

It could be the first time i'm wearing in-ear, wasn't quite used to it. The sound waves seems to be 'hitting' into my eardrums n radiating into my head n throat n even my taste buds seems funnie....n my inner ear seems 'heated up'.....dunno how to explain...it's a perculiar feelin...maybe i'm not used to it just yet bah....oh, is it becoz my setting of the sound of my mp3 or is it the nature of the earphone that it sound it produced was rather 'sharp' (high treble)?

This is the 1st time i hear of such a reaction. I got no idea why like that. lol. Try lowering the vol level and set to EQ to flat 1st. Then you adjust it to your preference.

If problems persist, sell it. It might not be suitable for you. Earphone can replace, ears cannot.

I thought that you only had the H10 as your player, never thought you also have an iAudio as a backup. Korean company supporter! w00t!

Dun scare me le....anyway, i think becos i'm not used to inserting sumthin so deep into my ear, so the reason for the 'heated' feeling. N becoz it is stuffed into my ear, felt a pressure like when u go swimming...think shud get used to it after a few trys. I was thinking whether the sound sounds so sharp is becoz i set the EQ to preset 'Rock'...will set EQ to normal n try again...

 

[Zephyron]

In general, Rock forms a V-shaped graph on most MP3 players that have the Rock setting, forming something like a super Bass and Treble Boost. I think the Cresyn LMX-E630 needs little to no EQing at all, except for maybe a bit of an increase in the lowest frequency band if you'd want a bit more bass out of it.

Thanks Zephyrone/theory_87/afbugs_1, after setting EQ back to normal, it sounds more 'normal' haha. But still not used to the 'stuffy' feeling...haha

 

[Zephyron]

Hmm, I suppose your player has a custom EQ right?

To make things sound more airy, up the rightmost custom EQ bar by around 2-3 or more. Left EQ bar would be low pitch (bass), right EQ bar would be high pitch (treble). Everything in-between is in-between in order

cant blame me.. their solid sound quality bought me over.. haha.. but i do luv korea product...

Hmm...tat means the graph will be from high to low reading from right to left?

 

[Zephyron]

Nope, low to high.

Left most is bass, rightmost is highs. To get 'pure' SQ, little to no EQ should be used
EQ can also be used to correct earphone weaknesses.

e.g: My U3 + CK7:
60Hz Band: 0
250Hz Band: 0
1kHz Band: 1
3kHz Band: -1
14kHz Band: 0
BBE:01
M3B:00
3DS:02

 

[ShougunX]

My U10 onli got:
50 +2
200 +1
1000 0
3000 +1
14000 +2

A V-shape formation


so i shud change to:

50 +0
200 +0
1000 +1
3000 -1
14000 +0

???

Guys, can open another thread for EQ settings? OT already. Wait rockstar must sweep floor again.

 

[Zephyron]

No, not at all, its up to your preference

I like my music to sound as prim as proper as how they should sound, and the CK7 has a bit of a 1000Hz deficiency to my ears and well as a bit of brightness in the lower to middle treble regions, so I use the EQ to 'fix' the errors on my CK7 to make it sound more neutral

Try to experiment with the EQ bands as much as you like, just remember that leftmost is bass/low pitch and right is treble/high pitch. You might just find some EQ configuration that you might like

OK Master Bug, no problem

 

[ShougunX]

Gomen sorrie paiseh...ok thanks zephyron, will experiment a bit. Thanks for ur advise.

 

[afbug1]

Thanks. The Cresyn thread was actually from this thread. If nothing was done, this will be a super long thread.
