SoundMAGIC ES19S In Ear Isolating Earphones with Microphone - Black

I bought these after owning the SoundMAGIC E10's for just shy of 2 years before one earpiece stopped working. After falling in love with the E10's but wanting something a little cheaper I opted for the ES19S, whilst they're not bad I feel they're not as clear or crisp as the E10's and my old Sennheiser CX300's for basically the same price delivered much more. In my opinion, I don't feel they were particularly superior to the iPhone earbuds. I did enjoy the phone controls (though you can't change volume with them).I'd recommend spending that little more for the E10's as they're fantastic, if they're out of price range consider the Sennheiser CX300's.

I bought these after looking at the reviews. While the price was decent, the sound quality was poor (compared to Apple earphones), they are not very comfortable and there is not a button switch for volume. They have however, lasted for a long time. Overall, I was very disappointed.

Pros:Incredible sound for the price. Crystal clear and if you're a bass head like me, you'll be pretty happy with the bass levels. A/B switch for use with older devices.Cons:Wafer thin cable. If you tend to fall asleep wearing them or are getting them tangled a lot, I really can't see these lasting very long at all. These are "budget" earphones, to be fair. Straight pin connector. Not angled. That could be a problem.

For £20, these buds are hard to beat. Bass is solid but not overpowering, and the tops are crisp and clean. I have genuinely noticed that they reveal parts of some tracks which I'd previously not experienced using stock buds bundled with phones, when it comes to top end detail. Admittedly feel likethey have a slightly repressed mid range, but not at the detriment of the sound. Again, for £20 including mic, you really can't go wrong! Only had them for one week so can't comment on durability but they feel as solid as you can expect them to be at this price range. So far, so good.

Seemed good for the price but don't expect them to be as solid or clear as the E10. Compared to the better spec E10 they don't keep background noise out as well or have as good tonal range. Cables also tangle a bit too much for my liking. Not as bad for tangles as standard iPhone headphones but worse than E10. Felt like they'd last a couple of years but after just 2 months of medium use (3-4 times a week for an hour or so each time) one channel now plays muffled. Going back to using the over ear Senheiser and AKGs I keep at home.

Good sound quality, stylish and comfortable. Not 5* because no volume control, wires get tangles and the earbud silicon tips fell off.

On my second pair because, I lost first ones. I jog and commute with them then put them in my own little case after each use.I have learnt that sometimes if you take care of some budget items they will serve well.The sound is very good (as with most soundmagic earphones)

good sound quality for the price, however they fall apart pretty much from the get go. I had mine for 2 months when the right earbud became dislodged and eventually broke off completely.
