SoundMAGIC E11 Wired Earbuds No Microphone HiFi Stereo Earphones Noise Isolating in Ear Headphones Powerful Bass Tangle Free Cord Black

My cat chewed through my previous wired earbuds... Those were solid and had lasted me many years, so I wanted to find some high-quality replacements.So far, I like these! They are super comfortable in my ears. Usually, I find earbuds to be big or painful, so smaller ones work better for me! With that said, these are relatively small, but they don't feel light or cheap.Sound-quality-wise, I'm not an audiophile, so they sound great to me! The price seems to match the quality of the sound, to my untrained ear.My one complaint would be the wire. I think it's supposed to be some sort of material/design to help keep it from tangling, but it's a little bulky and awkward because of that. I only notice it when I have to touch the wire to gather everything up, so it's not really much of a negative!It's got my seal of approval! I will return if anything goes wrong!UPDATE: Still going strong! The only thing I've noticed is that with extensive wear (like, over 6 hours), my ears do start getting a little sore, but maybe that's for the best-it gets me off of my PC to stretch my legs!

The Good:- Cords easy to untangle, unlike most relationships.- Solid build. Doesn't feel cheap... although it looks like a can of soda.- Decent sound quality for the price. Sometimes I feel the sound distort in some ways that feels synthetic or unnatural, but that's because I produce music. Most people won't even notice it. Bass surprisingly adequate without burying the high ends. Sub bass has presence. Get foam tips for better isolation.The Bad:- "Boxed in" beefy sound. Sound delicious, but it ain't. Not expecting a wide 360 sound, but I can feel it's a cheap earbuds sometimes.- Cold tips every time it makes contact with my ears, like Edward from Twilight is pulling pranks on me with his icy fingers. Must be the metal and this is actually VERY annoying, like when you're taking a shower and someone flushes the toilet.Overall:Compared to my Galaxy Buds Pro which I got for twice the price, SoundMAGIC E11C it's just okay. The only reason why I bought this is to remove any delay for gaming devices... but the sound for gaming isn't that good. However, if you're planning to only listen to music and you're really tight on budget and you're not an audiophile who likes Radiohead, not many can compete with this earbuds.... so it's not for me and I don't want a vampire's cold pinky touching my ears. I'd rather have earbuds made out of fake plastic trees.

First, this is a very good IEM. Bright sounding, balanced with good, not superior, bass. Soundmagic aims for the wow factor, much like 'special effects' in ear. Everything is forward, some sound depth but not the blow away type. Crystal clear sounding with excellent volume. A slight, MINOR drag in the sound; understandable with the multiple sound effects going on.Reminds me of a smaller, in ear version of the SONY MDR-7506 over ear headphone. High praise, but this 9mm driver cannot outperform the 40mm driver over ear. The more modern tech reminds me of that headphone, so I classify the sound as 'old school'. And old school in this case is very, very good.Build quality is excellent. Soundmagic sticks one of the headphones into the styrofoam holder, so it must be pushed out from the back as opposed to pulling on the wire.In summation, Crystal clear, balanced sound with smooth bass, not sub-bass drop; a mix of dynamic and reference. Highly appealing to the most people, but not focused on the sound addicts.Update: With a high quality Dac/Amp, these earphones are extraordinary. It took some break in, and I switched the source of my music output. These earphones sound like high quality over the ear headphones, with sub~bass drop. Bottom line is my music has come alive with seductive, accurate sounds. Very pleased at the improvement over the e10c, and I hope for long lasting durability.
