Soundmagic E10C In Ear Isolating Earphones with Microphone - Silver/Black

Product Information

I later plugged the E11C to my Macbook and it actually sounds great out of it, with more body/ texture in the mids compared to phones and a more dynamic performance. There is also more air andan improved soundstage as there seems to be less roll-off on the treble. On the Xiaomi Max 2, the E11C delivers a clear vocal presence without muchin the way of treble harshness. Instrumental separation and resolution are good for the price. However, the lower spectrum is a bit overwhelming for some music.

Soundmagic as always delivers exceptional performance at this price range and E11C is no different. These earphones will either mean nothing to you or seem as important as the return of the Star Wars films.Every time you reach for earphone/IEM cables to connect them to your earphones/IEM, no matter how neatly you "wrapped" them up, they end up in a giant Gordian knot of frustration. Tangled cables are the bane of modern existence, and everyone owning a wired pair of earphones/IEM can attest to this. At this price, the Award-winning Sennheiser Momentum M2 in-ears easily best the SoundMagics with a richer, more nuanced and dynamic performance that’s more engaging to listen to. Its cabling is translucent too, again a classier look than the glossy sheath of most current E10 series variants. Calling these the most grown-up looking earphones SoundMagic has made does not seem a stretch. On iPhone 6+ the presentation is more balanced and detailed with less grain in the vocal timbre as well. Overall, the performance is full-bodied, dynamic and spacious> Using audiophile masterings it is an enjoyable pairing. With streaming services such as Spotify, the pairing is a bit bassier. I would recommend the pairing with Tidal, where western songs and older Asian pops work better than modern J/Kpop mixes that deliver muddier bass and a sharper treble. One brand that has come to dominate our budget earphones recommendations is SoundMagic. The brand specialises in wallet-friendly headphones, with in-ear pairs something of a speciality. Here we've pitted two of its best earbuds, the SoundMagic E11C and the SoundMagic E80C against each other to see which come out on top, and help you get the best pair of buds for your needs.

SoundMagic E10C review | What Hi-Fi?

What I’m most impressed by is the deftness of the stereo imaging, which, when combined with a fairly large soundstage, give the SoundMagic E10C an involving and “big” sound. Regardless, the SoundMagic E10C continue in this vein. However, I do quite like the use of metal earpieces. While they won’t stop the cable connection from deteriorating if not looked after, they’re far more likely to survive being trodden on than a cheap plastic earpiece.The alterations to the sound are much less marked than the new remote’s changes, but that’s no bad thing. SoundMagic’s various generations of E10 have earned a massive following thanks to their great sound and sensible price. But the cable is as hard as a clothesline and this very much spoils the overall impression of the headphones. There are a few niggles, though. These are still very much big bass earphones, and as such they can sound quite bulky.

These versatile earphones offers full management of telephone conversations with the integrated microphone and 3-button button smart remote. The supplied VoIP adaptor transforms the E10C into a multimedia computer headset.

SoundMagic claims it is the only company to do it (and no, we can’t think of another) – which isn’t a bad thing to shout about. Isolation is average and I prefer wearing it over-ear to prevent microphonics or noise on the wire. The earphone has a large vent beneath and a small vent near the nozzle in front of the driver. There is no noticeable driver flex, unlike the E10. Much to my delight, the little molding and machining marks are present on this pair of IEM. SoundMAGIC's acoustic engineers carefully configured the drivers of the E10 to produce exciting sound with powerful bass and balanced musical detail. They punch well above their weight in terms of sound quality. The in-ear design combined with the right eartip makes sure the sound is not lost or diluted. Sitting comfortably in the earcanal, the E10 ensures hours of fatigue-free listening fun.
