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.

As someone who does a lot of air travel on company planes and commercial, a must-have on every trip are my Bose QuietComfort headphones. They cut engine noise by half or better, but they are terrible for sound quality if listening to music. They are passable for hands-free phone calls though. I’m not about to start travelling with two sets of headphones though - gotta draw a line somewhere.

Grado GR10 or whatever this model is called, $400 in the ear headphones, are listenable but..I would still take on the ear Audeze Sine any day. Youtube or not the difference is striking. This comes from someone who generally prefers Grado RS1 Classic wooden headphones. Planar headphones have their appeal. Those Audeze are closed back so you won’t disturb the others, and they don’t completely isolate you from the environment which is a good thing too. So that’s what I would travel with.

sleepwalker65,

Your experience with SONY customer support is about the same as mine. I actually do not consider it exists. Not even warranty. If I buy something from them, I consider it a total loss when broken, regardless of when it happens. Calling them, even for warranty repair, is waste of time and nerves and is rarely worth the trouble. Well, little by little, I am taking similar approach with everything I buy. I wave the white flag. They win.

Earphones I mentioned are Japanese model and I am not in Japan so their warranty would not apply anyways. It makes me feel less of a loser to know that.

..another Entymotic user.....I've had these for about 10 years or so....always delivers music and isolates the surrounding noise.

With so many choices of nice earphones, it is hard to choose one for another audition.

Some of earphone has a good reliability record, while some other excellent sounding earphone may not have good reliability.

I am not considering any on ear headphone right now since it is going to take too much space during travel.

I am going to choose one more earphone to compare with the sound of SoundMagic at the end of this month.
