Soundmagic E10C In-Ear Isolating Earphones with Mic, High-Performance Sound, Deep Bass, Noise Isolation, Durable Metal Build, Compatible with iPhone, Android, PC,Tablet - Black/Gold

I bought these to replace a pair of Bose in ear headphones. The Bose cost £120 if I remember and I have been very happy with them, they still work but the silicone wire has started to split and crack all over- still, not bad for 6 odd years of use. I like quality over cheapness & having heard some pretty poor cheap earphones I was doubtful but the Stuff and T3 reviews together with Amazon reviews made me take a chance. They come with a semi hard case with a choice of different tips, a PC split adapter and a 'phone adapter ' that I really don't understand- it's basically a socket with a plug straight on it Anyway, comparing to my Bose I am impressed. My go to tracks for speaker/ headphone testing (as recommended in an audio shop) are Don't Stop - Michael Jackson, Higher Ground- red hot chilli peppers, Thunderstruck-AC/DC and I pick a random electronica track The Soundmagic are everything the Bose are but I would say with a little more brightness to the higher sounds. Bass is strong but not too much, I would say that the quality I hear is probably helped by the tight fit into my ears. I wore them for a couple of hours comfortably when I know I would be pushing the Bose back in repeatedly What I would say is that the fatter wires on the Bose gave more of a quality feel and the more PVC feel of the SM wire means you can 'feel' it rubbing on your clothes a bit through the headphones as you listen. Having said that the silicone wire of Bose failed so maybe this is more tough. The remote is a bit fiddly though and on the left ear. For a third of the price of some brands I can't see how you could be disappointed, there really is very little wrong with them acoustically. If I was being fussy maybe knock a star off for the slightly cheaper feel compared to my Bose but at this price I think the performance overcomes any slight criticism. I will just have to see how they last

I ordered these as a replacement for my old LG Quadbeat 3's that came with my phone, and they're the first reasonable premium earphones that I've ever owned. At first I was a bit sceptical about the sound they produced, thinking at one point that they were broken when listening to some certain songs, however; after using them for a couple of weeks I realized that they were not faulty at all, and they simply allowed me to hear certain sounds and notes in songs that I'd never heard before. The bass of these things is really clear, and the clarity of voice is better than I've heard from any other earphones (including a friend's Beats, but we all know they're a rip off). I love the design of them, the gold-on-black patterns contrast really well, and the aluminium construction makes them feel very premium. The cable itself is a braided cable that has been wrapped in plastic, giving it this strange knobbly effect that rarely tangles. The earphones also come with a great little carry case, and a shed load of spare silicon rubber tips and AUX adapters, along with a cable clip to take pressure off your ears. It seems that SoundMagic actually cares about providing an all-around great product, and they've definitely done so with these. If you're in the market for some new earphones and you want to upgrade from your bog standard cheap pairs, I highly recommend these and I'm sure you'll be equally as pleased as I am.

All im gonna say is, if you buy a pair well get the gold/silver, this gold one is my second pair, sound is perfect, quality and all, and from what ive learned from owning these type of earphones is the durablity, ive used it well. I can depend on it, id take anywhere with me and use it anytime. Good design for fit and carry around light, good cord length. Well built, im 100% satisfied with this gold colour looks fancy, im just fully satisfied. Bare in mind you might buy one that comes with some lower sound ( low chance ), My previous owned silver one had lower sound, but i still used it fine, and it didnt bother me. Their still a brilliant durability and sound quality, so i bought a second pair anyway and im well happy

I have been using these for over a year now and i can say that they are great headphones for the price. They have great punch for in-ear buds, the sound detail is amazing and the bass is great too without been too over powering. Come with a good variety of ear buds as well which is a good detail for in ear phones as i have got very small ear lobes and some ear phones I used in the past didn’t come with buds small enough to fit comfortably and snuggly in my ears. Not a problem with the SoundMAGICs. I bought these ear buds because of all the rave reviews that they have got and I can say that they do genuinely live up to the hype. Can’t praise them enough. To get this level of detail in the sound from in ear buds is nothing short of amazing in my opinion, these are far superior in every way to the Bose ones that they replaced which cost twice the price of these ones.

Zalig goede klank , ongelooflijk

​Alright, you are thinking - what a tall boast! Anything backing it up? And so, here we are: If you do not wish to read through the review, although I won't geek out a thousand words, there is a TL;DR version at the bottom. Also, wherever necessary I have added extra notes for explaining jargon - like this: [1], [2] ... - which are accumulated after the review. First, let's get to the specifications. Please do not think of specs as redundant or useless; in fact, they are helpful in indicating what a headphone is capable of and what are its limitations. Brand - SoundMagic Product - E10C Sound - Stereo Minimum Frequency Response - 15 Hz (Note: This means on the bass side of things, where 20 Hz [1] is normal for humans, this 15 Hz gives our E10C a decent bass) Connector Plating - Gold (Note: which is excellent) Technology - Wired Impedance - 16 Ohm (Note: at this price point, the impedance [2] is of no consequence, all you need to know is that your laptop or smartphone should be enough to drive [2a] the E10Cs) Cable Length - 1.2 meters (Note: decent) Maximum Frequency Response - 22,000 Hz (Note: Standard) Driver Size - 10 mm (Note: standard [3]) Form - In-ear Weight - 11 g Interface - Play/Pause, Skip/Back, Volume (Note: Volume works with 95% of the smartphones; it did not work with mine but that's a non-issue, skip/back are working) The Japanese company SoundMagic really knows what they are doing. There is solid engineering behind every earphone they come out with, and while some are misses, a lot of them are hits and the E10C is one of the latter. You will not find better sounding earphones in this budget. As you will see on the box and on various audiophile websites, this earphones have been awarded. Yes, awarded. But all this won't mean a thing until you try them on. Now they come with an array of earbud tips (as pictured), and you can pick out what fits you the best. Put them in. They are light and comfy. Both iOS and Android users can listen through as it has a switch for manually changing between devices. In fact the 'C' in E10C stands for compatibility. It just works. Additionally, the in-line buttons give you volume, track skipping and play/pause controls. The 3.5 mm jack is angled at 60 degrees, which makes life easy. A twisted 1.2 m cable should make it last a long time. The sound from these earphones is well balanced. You will feel the energy of a metal track without missing a beat. The mids [4] are pleasing, clear, which makes the vocals open and level. As lively as the bass is, the highs are distinct and smooth. This makes for a great overall listen. You will be lost in your music for hours. And your time will be well-spent. End Notes [1] Humans can hear from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Anything under 20 Hz is felt and not heard - which is the bass you guys love so much [2] Impedance is resistance to the flow of current. At high impedance the manufactures can make even better sounding headphones as the drivers - which are in the earbuds - have less chance of distortions seeping in [2a] In simple words, a smartphone, a laptop or an amplifier 'drives' - gives power - to your earphones, which means that high impedance headphones are harder to drive. 6 to 40 Ohm is a good range to be driven by smartphones and laptops, but you'll need an amplifier for anything above 60 Ohm [3] All you need to know is that 10 mm is good enough. The normal range for IEM (in ear monitors) is 8 mm to 15 mm. Loudness or quality is not dependent on the size [4] I will use very simple language to demystify this most used audiophile jargon - highs: think cymbals, the 'tss' part of ba dum 'tss' on a drum. Or when a singer does an elongated, and high 'aaaaa'. So, does that 'tss', or the 'ting', or the 'aaaaa' sound clear and distinct? Highs are good! Mids: when your voice crackles, or is raspy, or when you whisper sweet nothings to your partner - those are the perfect mids! Here lie most of the vocals and if you can hear the timbre, the tone cleanly, you've got good mids! Now lows everyone knows! Just another way of saying bass. It is better felt than heard. The air moves to the plucking of a bass string, and you hear a 'thrum'. The more popular one though is the 'boom boom' sound. TL;DR If you care about how you consumer your music, if you are looking for a gateway to understand how music should sound like, or if you simple want a simple good pair earphones without breaking the bank - you will not be disappointed. + Detailed, clear sound Solid design Switching between iOS and Android Sturdy build Cheap for what they offer - None at this price point

For a Chinese brand I worried if it was a good investment if I bought a pair of sound magic as I didn't had good experiences with Chinese brands.I have had sound magic PL 12 and the sound quality was good at the price which I got. It was my first experience of sound magic and I can say for sure if you have them they are very unlike any Chinese goods. About the E10c The sound of these buds are awesome for the price. If you are bass head then you will not like these buds but if you like everything else apart from heavy bass these are the pairs you have been looking for. Throw in good music file from a good music player and these pairs will show you their capabilities. I have not heard anything in this price range. Built quality is awesome and it seems like it will last a lifetime I have been using them as my daily headphones and these never let down.Only thing is the lack of noise isolation if you go on noisy surrounding , you have to crank up the volume to stay into music. It's really good investment and I liked them so much that I got 3 of them for my family. It has got microphone and volume controls and they give adaptor so that you can use it with laptops for videochats. But e10 comes in many versions get the latest one to get compatibility with all mobiles.

Comfortable fit and good sound. I primarily use them for phone calls but I cannot fault the music tesponse

Seriously, these are not a waste of money. I spend hours everyday wearing headphones- I'm such a music junkie. I wear these on my daily runs, I wear them while I'm doing errands, I only use these when I talk on the phone, I use these when I'm meditating before bed. Ive dropped them in hot coffee, I've slammed them in my car doors, I've lost them under my seat and pulled them out by the cord. They hold up well, the sound quality is the awesome, and they're very comfortable. WARNING: When I first received these one of the headphones sounded like it was muted- the sound was very quiet. I looked online and a review on google said that this can happen to all earbuds. It happens because the mesh metal piece inside the earbud is inverted. All you have to do is take of the rubbery piece that goes inside your ear, seal your lips around the plastic, and suck. This brings the metal mesh piece to the position and shape that it's supposed to be in. I received these headphones a year ago and I haven't had any other problems with them since then!
