Best earphone for the value




https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K2LHB1J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



I bought the earphone after reading rave review on it.


SoundMagic E11C review | What Hi-Fi?


The review is spot on.


The most remarkable difference between this and free earphone distributed by Delta Airline is detailed treble.


I also compared this with Grado SR80E headphone that I have.


Grado have slightly more open bass but this one seems to have more details.


Due to the limitation of luggage, I would rather bring earphone than regular headphone  for long travel.


This one fit my need at the cost of 60$.

I found that the music through Youtube or Amazon prime using SoundMAGIC E11C earphones is quite enjoyable.


I highly recommend this for travel.

I actually bought a pair of those zs10 earphones a few weeks ago for $45 to replace a very old pair of in ear Klipsch that were 10 years old.

I was honestly shocked how good they sounded for any price never mind $45.
Admitted never hear $1k in ear phones and likely never will but hard to imagine them being 22.2 times better!

YMMV

I hate to bring this up again in a way but the SQ I have now with a humble Sony Walkman and Sony Walkman headphones, those yellow and gray jobs, is well beyond what I used to have with a conventional set-up - all tube Class A Woo Audio headphone amp, extensively modded Oppo 103 and naked Sennheiser 600s. I find the problem isn’t so much with the headphones but with the players. You know, scattered light and vibratory CD. I wish you could hear what I’ve heard with my ears. What’s coming out of untreated CD players I don’t want to hear with any headphones, much less expensive ones.

shkong78,

Is sound isolation on those good enough for most of the planes?

This one has enough isolation in the airplane.

The most important thing is that  its sound is musical with classical music like violin concerto.

I can live with this one for at least one year.

There is no need to rush into rabbit hole of earphone since I use earphone only during travel.
