I owned the Creative EP-630 ear buds for a year until I stretched and broke the wires. I replaced them with the Creative EP-830 ear buds. This is my comparison:
The overall sound quality of the EP-630 is slightly better than the EP-830. The EP-630 produces crisper highs and cleaner mids; however, the EP-830 is much stronger on the low-end. I adjusted my EQ to filter the 80 Hz and 250 Hz bands, but the EP-830 still sounded a hair muddy.
The rubber grommets and wires on the EP-830 are more substantial and should resist normal usage much better than the EP-630. However, The EP-830 do sport a heavier ear bud, which is less comfortable and, with gravity, tend to come loose when during activity (gym). This issue is paramount because breaking the seal in the ear canal greatly diminishes the sound quality. I find myself constantly pushing in the EP-830 buds. I never had this problem with the EP-630. They were light and remained sealed and in-place during my entire workout.
The aesthetics of the EP-830 are definitely cooler. They utilize a vented driver and top off the look with silver detail. The EP-630 are very generic looking.
Overall, the EP-630 and EP-830 ear buds are awesome at their price points of $30 and $50, respectively. If you're not too active, have bigger ear canals (i.e. can use the larger silicone seals), and enjoy deeper base, the EP-830 are right for you. Otherwise, the EP-630 are a better value....

I got these with the Creative X-Fi, which I returned for the Apple iPod Touch. I liked the sound so much I bought these immediately to replace my JVC noise-cancelling headphones and my Sensenhauser in-ear phones. I tred several different brands and types of earphones, and I was surprised how well these guys block out plane noise. Almost as good as the JVC noice cancelling headset!! Since the JVC's are much bulkier and all that, I'm selling them and just using these Creatives. BTW: I also tried the Creative Aruvana's - and though they were twice the price, I preferred these EP-830's. Comfortable, great quality sound, and really well made. Thicker rubber type cables, too. Love 'em....

Firstly, what kind of total loser sits down to write reviews on amazon.com? Me, I guess.
I love good quality earphones, and really hate paying for them. But the entire audio market is priced towards young adults with no mortgage to pay and too much cash to blow. This set, however, is an exception. In my completely authoratative and pompous opinion, it competes well with headphones triple the price. It does, I believe, sound appreciably better than the Creative EP-630 In-Ear Headphones. I've owned the Sennheiser CX 500-B In-Ear Headphone (Black). They're good, no doubt. You won't go wrong with them. But these have a more broad range than the Sennheisers.
FYI, if you're looking for an on-ear phone, don't mind looking like a total fool, and dig that not-yet-in retro 80's look, look at the Koss PortaPro Headphones with Case. Totally awesome. There's a reason why those same headphones are in production after all these years. How many electronics products can claim that?...
