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

Every time I buy a new pair of earphones, I just end up coming back to these coz they're so balanced. The bass isn't cranked up too high (which I can't say for other pairs), the trebles are decent (at least for someone like me who like to add some extra treble to everything), the mids aren't downed out by the low and high frequencies and it very responsive when EQin' to my taste. They fit really well in my ears, don't cause any pain and give a snug fit that blocks out a decent amount of outside noise - I can sleep with them on with them on without issue.My only issue is that each of the 4 or so pair I've had have broken after a year or so of use, and all due to the wire getting damaged internally. The wire is stronger than regular earphone wires, but not as thick and protected as I'd prefer it to be for an relatively pricey pair. I'm not rough my earphones, I don't drag my phone with it, I don't knot the wires and I don't shove them in my pocket with to mingle with loose change and keys. I just occasionally tug them a bit when they get caught on something, but never enough to do damage.I've tried to make the transition to Bluetooth earphones, but none sound as good as these, even with some EQin'. Even the BT11Cs don't sound nearly as good (they're too basey), nor do Samsung's pro buds, sony's XM2 and XM3 earbuds (which lets you use LDAC for lossless audio - the sony WI-1000X was close to being as good) or Sennheiser's momentum 2.0 (which are too god dang bassy). So I guess I'll have to deal with the woes of having wired headphones but at least I can enjoy the experience with these.

Have had these a few years now, and use them with a Sony A45 MP3 player. They are solid and well-made, and have an elegant look about them in gunmetal. I also have the same in black, which I don’t like so much - too black! I have just ordered a pair of E80s (I think it is), as I am a bit deaf in one ear and hope they might help in that respect as they claim to be ‘top of the range.’ The E11s have a very good sound for me at least (rock and classical music), and the first thing I did when I received them was to turn the bass boost off on the devices I used then! I took one star off, because the gauze inserts keep falling out, and it is a wonder I haven’t lost them. I have to use superglue to stick them back in, and that’s not ideal! I guess the gauze inserts are there to stop ear wax getting into the inner workings of the E11s, and I do have to clean the ear wax off occasionally with surgical spirit - don’t think that’s the fault of the ‘buds, though! Overall, lovely-looking things with a great sound, at a good price and I recommend them.

I've had Soundmagic E50 earbuds for a few years and they were great but the new E11's are on another level. The sound is so clear that I'm hearing things for the first time in music I've listened to for years. It really is crystal clear with I lovely rich base but also a great top end too. These are better than the Senhiezer ones I used to swear by and so much cheaper. It really is a no brainer. Can't recommend them highly enough

When I first opened the box I was disappointed in the quality of the product. The cable is extremely thin, like you would get on a free pair or earphones on a plane. The is no way that the cable is going to hold up.The default sound of the earphones was also very disappointing. WhatHiFi had raved about these, but I can not understand why.I have a pair of bluetooth Sony WF-1000XM3 which are amazing. Beats Solo 3 headphones, and some cheaper JVC Extreme HA-FX1X, among others. They all have their positives and negatives.The SoundMagic's sound is lacking bass, even when adjusting the EQ. There is just not enough there. Before adjusting the EQ, the sound was muddy and muffled in the mid range, and the upper end was harsh. My phone has an EQ but the EQ was missing on my PC, so had to download new Realtek software to enable this. Without an EQ the sound wouldnt have been bearable.After adjusting the EQ, the sound is better, very clear overall. The bass still is lacking and there is still a slightly muddy middle, but not as bad. But it just makes the sound a little frustrating. There is just something lacking in the sound.If you like clear audio and to hear all the detail, then these are definitely ok if you are ok messing with your EQ, as long as you are ok with the muddy sounding mid/high. If you want bass, go for the cheaper JVCs. If you want to splash out then the SONY WF-1000's are amazing.

Bought to replace my previous pair which went at the 3.5mm jack connector, (in the way earphones usually do) after almost 3 years of day-to-day running and office use.Bought in black, arrived with a nice semi-rigid clamshell case, and various ear bud sizes.Cable is quite thin, may cause longevity issues on the connector.Sound quality is the best of any earphones I've used, would rate it similar to the Sony MX blah M3 headphones, without the noise cancellation they offer.Comfortable fit for my ears, nice long cable, and also, having tried some other earphones out in the meantime, quite loud when cranked right up!Will purchase again in a couple of years when I lose mine.

Purchased for a friend. They broke within 3 months. E11c version I got for myself is also having quality issues 4 months in. Unacceptable quality.
