E10 In-Ear Isolating Earphones - Deep Bass, Noise-Isolating, Durable Metal Build, Tangle-Free Cable, Award-Winning Sound Quality - Ideal for Music, Gaming, Travel - Black/Silver

Althow these are not from a bigger brand ... SoundMAGIC seems to build quality IEMs. Received my pair a week back and i am stunt of the sound quality ... as everybody here i read all the reviews i could find and was eager to test them out. I have tested all types of music from Classical to Rock. The outcome is pretty amazing. The lows are deep but are reproduced with clarity, the mids and highs are so crisp and clear you can hear all the details in the song just as the song was ment to sound (never had this feel also never owned higher class IEMs :)). The soundstage is also great. Also another thing is that no matter how powerfull the lows are the medium and highs remain untouched just as if you had 2 drivers inside ... impressive. I had as a comparison a pair of Sennheiser CX300. I was very impressed by the lows these had when i got them but the mid-higs are substandard and sound pretty owfull. Overall i am amazed of the quality you can get at this price. The build quality fells also good and ready for a long run with the metal-ish design. I`ve ordered a medium set of Comply Tips, T-400 seems to fit the E10 and i am waiting for them. I was never satisfied with the ruber tips as they don`t feel confortable enough for me. Hope the comply will fill that gap. PS: Just a small thing ... the sound isolation with the stock tips is not great. I found the double flange tips to fit best with best isolation. Hope the situation will change with the Comply Tips. LE: Just got my Comply tips ... first impression: way better. Better isolation after the foam expands and better sound (i reduced the volume by about 15% on my mp3 player). Also alot more confortable than all the supplied tips. A must have for any headphones. :) Would recommand these all the way, because in this price range you can`t go wrong. Great job SoundMAGIC !

I bought these in ear phones to use with my phone as a mobile music source. I have like a lot of people a great love of music and like to listen to as much as possible. I have always had a great appreciation of audiophile quality music playing systems as the lack of distortion , true to life frequency response and realistic dynamics bring you as close as possible to the way the artist intended it to be - true to life ! I was looking for a pair of phones that didn't cost too much as mobile phones can be easily damaged or lost but they had to be close to the sound of a good domestic system as I can't compromise on quality. I had read good reviews of the soundmagic E10 s so I decided to order a pair - reds were out of stock so I could only get the purple and black colour. They come in 3 or 4 colours - the purples are a bit girly but heh they all sound the same. May get a pair of red and pass the purples on to my daughter or something. So not to digress too much - what about the sound quality ? Didn't really expect too much for £35 but boy was I surprised ! The reviews that I had read were true to form. First thing that I noticed was the balance - there was no emphasis at any part of the sound spectrum as bass was tight , controlled and deep, midrange was sweet and clear and top end was extended and smooth with lack of any obvious distortion - top notch. The thing that impressed me was the bass end which is full but tunefull and you can clearly follow a bass line. Other in ear phones that I have tried in the same price range are awfull in this respect so the Soundmagic E 10s get a firm 5 Star thumbs up from me. Build quality seem very good and packaging and accessories are great. Absolute bargain ! G

First, I'm not a big user of earphones, so bear that in mind with my comments. I'm also a very late adopter of mobile technology. I eventually realised that I needed earphones to make better use of my recently acquired smart phone and I've always thought the 'speakers' on my iPad mini were tinny beyond belief. So I searched for recommendations on the web and these earphones were praised everywhere. Some reviews even suggested you'd have to spend 3-figure sums to get better sound. So I took the plunge. APPEARANCE: They do look good. I know that shouldn't be a major factor, but the packaging, presentation and the 'phones themselves all contributed to a value-for-money feeling. Here they're described as 'silver/black', but there's no silver visible anywhere - they're a gray/black combination. Personally I find it attractive. CONTENT: At this price I think I expected to receive a pair of earphones and nothing else. I was surprised, pleasantly so, to see what else was provided. There's a really tidy hard-shell storage case. It's about 2.5" square - jet-black with a bright red zip closure all the way round the middle. Inside, each half-shell has a mesh net pocket extending full-width and about half-way up its open height. Looks well constructed and very useful. In one of the mesh pockets was a small SoundMAGIC spring-clip, presumably for attaching the earphone cable to a collar or other item of clothing. In the other was a plastic bag with the writing "SoundMAGIC Ear hook Comfortable rubber earhooks for cable back to ear" Through the plastic I could see what turned out to be 6 different pairs of rubber tips for the earphones (different sizes and shapes) and what looked like a small pair of bent plastic rods. I assumed they were the 'earhooks'. Surprise! When I emptied the bag, I got rubber tips, but it turned out the earhooks were actually an image printed on the clear plastic bag. Very strange. I still can't explain this. Nevertheless the different sized tips have provided me with a really comfortable fit, and I don't feel like I need any hooks or clips to keep them in place. SOUND: The earphones themselves are surprisingly, to me, very good indeed. Since I got them I have listened to classical and jazz music, solo instruments and large ensembles, and the 'phones are genuinely very pleasing and satisfying. However, the cable is incredibly noisy! I don't know if this is a characteristic of all earphones of this type or only these. When I move around, or even just turn my head, the cable brushing against my clothes or head generates thumps and rumbles that are incredibly distracting. To get some idea of what I'm talking about and see if your own 'phones have the same issue try this test: pinch the cable at any point really tightly with one hand, using your thumb and one or two forefingers; now, using the other hand, flick the cable with your forefinger above where you've pinched it and again below where you've pinched it. I find these two conditions massively different. The 'below' flick causes no problems - all the cable vibrations and noise get trapped and damped out by my pinched thumb and fingers. But the 'above' flick produces a massive thump in my ears as all the cable noise is transmitted straight to me ears. It's as if the cables were acting as a microphone. It may be, but it's not clear, that this is exactly why the spring-clip is provided - to anchor the cable as close to your head as possible. SUMMARY: Build, appearance, extras, basic sound quality, all seem 'good' verging on the 'excellent'. But until I've resolved this cable noise I can't say this will be my preferred method of listening. I'm happy to persevere because the positive impressions of everything else in this purchase make me feel there has to be a way around it.

Good quality in such price

Pasando de unos Xiaomi Hybrid pro a los E10, me quedo muy feliz. Tienen buena calidad de materiales con las cápsulas de metal y el cable trenzado La calidad de sonido está bien balanceada, con quizá bajos más sobresalientes Difícil encontrar un mejor producto por este precio. Lo único es que devolví este producto ya que al no fijarme bien, no noté que esta era la versión sin micrófono y después compré la que lo tiene, así que tengan en cuenta eso.

Le E10, nate due anni dalla casa cinese 'SoundMagic', sono ormai ben conosciuti nell’ambiente tanto che queste piccole gioielli hanno, per ben due anni seguito, vinto la 1° premio per le cuffie di 'Entry Level' dalla prestigiosa revista inglese "What Hi-Fi". Io mi sono avvicinato a loro grazie a questo fattore dopo di aver tirato avanti da anni untilizzando solo le cuffie in-ear bianchi dotazione con l'ipod e questi sono, dunque, le mie prime cuffie 'entry level'. Mamma Mia che DIFFERENZA, non c'é confronto l'uno con l'altro! La firma sonora di queste mi ha lasciata a bocca aperta e la costruzione é decisamente solida e ben rifinita. COME SUONANO? Dopo un lungo rodaggio il suono non si è mosso di una virgola. Queste cuffie le vedo ottimamente come cuffiette da corsa/palestra, anche se non sono presenti le guide per farle rimanere stabili dietro l’orecchio; la loro ottima efficienza poi permette anche di usare sorgenti poco potenti come telefoni/smartphone e via dicendo. BASSI: TANTI. Proprio il medio-basso è molto in evidenza, gonfiando anche la scena grazie a un riverbero che si fa sentire non poco, potrebbero facilmente essere quelle ben + costosi della Sennheiser! MEDI: Arretrati, non moltissimo ma decisamente sono indietro nella scena complessiva. Le voci sono assolutamente morbide e mai taglienti. ALTI: Secchi e non taglienti. Infine, vengano in dotazione con ben 8 ricambi (6 nella confezione + due sulle cuffie stesse) di ear-bud tips in morbidissimo silicone. Addatto a tutti direi! PRO: - Se il suono che cercate è quello bassosetto e mai stancante non avrete problemi, le cuffie non affaticano assolutamente vista la morbidezza generale del timbro. La mancanza della custodia rigida è insomma compensata da un prodotto che non dovrebbe sciuparsi facilmente CONTRO: - Avrei preferito una custodia rigida: il sacchettino di plastica in dotazione é decisamente cheap!

音質は良いけどノイズキャンセリング機能は機能しない。

I had been on the look out for a reasonably priced pair of in-ear phones for quite sometime before I came across SoundMagic's E10. I was seriously considering Sennheiser's CX 300II which was available for around Rs.3200 on Amazon. Instead of buying it online I decided to buy it directly from the local store. I was in for a shock, the price had apparently shot up by almost a 1000 bucks, thanks to the depreciating Rupee!! In any case, before I chose the online & cheaper alternative, I decided to search around some more and I came across the E10's and Signature Acoustics' C-12. The C-12's was available for around Rs.2800 & seemed like a value proposition. It had good reviews but as much as I wanted to support indigenous brands, there was something about the looks that did not appeal to me. Finally, I came across the E10s at Whathifi. It was rated 5/5 and was their best buy in the category for 2013. Here's the link - [...]. Anyways, it was available on Amazon for Rs.1899 and was much cheaper than all of the other alternatives I had considered. I decided to take the plunge and I was not dissappointed!! I was glad I made this choice. I was afraid I would not get much of an improvement in sound but all my fears were put to rest by the E10's. The E10's sound open, detailed without being overbearing and has the right amount of thump. It can be easily driven by any phone as the power requirements are not very high. It is well built and the wires seem really sturdy so it should be able to withstand some abuse. It really is a satisfactory (but not better) alternative to my home Hi Fi system while I'm away, which, by the way, is a pair of Tannoy Mercury V4's driven by a NAD 2100. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD202s and Sony MDR- EX100LP (don't ask, huge mistake), so I can only give you a direct comparison with these 2. Compared to the HD202s, the E10 sounds much more open and detailed and the bass is deeper. The HD202 is more laid back but needs much more power to drive it to the same volume levels. As for the Sony, it was an impulse buy and I regretted it the minute I plugged it in. I would never recommend it to anyone unless all they want is a better alternative to the scores of chinese headphones out there!! Besides, it only costs around Rs.900, but never consider it for an 'upgrade'. So, in a nutshell, here are the Pros and Cons : Pros - > Open and detailed > Not ear shattering, but adequately deep bass > Good build and Aesthetics > Uncompromising sound for the money Cons - > May be not laid back enough for some? (not really an issue, eq adjustments should take care of that) > But, really, nothing at this price!! I would say the E10's would beat your bundled ear phones hands down and I won't be thinking of upgrading from the E10's any time soon!! ff>>> 16.06.2015 : I've been using this for over a year and a half now and it works perfectly fine.. As I mentioned earlier, the build is solid!!!
