- E10 Wired Earphones No Microphone HiFi Stereo Earbuds Noise Isolating in Ear Headphones Powerful Bass Tangle Free Cord Gunmetal

I would recommend these to anyone looking for a great pair of earbuds. I picked these up after accidentally muffling one of the buds from the pair that came with my phone (Alfredo sauce isn't kind to earbuds). I've had these for a couple weeks now and I use them when studying and when at work. I'd say I've listened to then for about 50 hours at this point (I'm actually using then now as I right this review), and I am thoroughly pleased with the sound quality, the comfort, and the look of these. They are highly capable of playing any type of music or video I've listened to/ watched so far. They have a very nice balance between bass and treble, which is very nice so you don't hear flat bass and overwhelming treble or vice versa. The only negative thing I can think about these earbuds is that they do not have a volume control/ mic on the wire, but that's no big deal to me because I never used either of them anyways. These come with a case to keep the headphones in, which is very nice when carrying them around so the wires and buds don't get crushed. The buds also come with multiple sets of different size and shape buds to make the fit as comfortable as possible. They are a fantastic pair of earbuds for an amazing price. *Update* I've now used these for well over 300 hours, they still sound amazing and are very comfortable, I can wear them 8-9 hours straight while working without any discomfort. I am extremely glad I bought them. These are easily my favorite earbuds I've ever used. *Update 2* I've been using these 20 months now and they still sound fantastic! Also, they have no cosmetic damage despite the constant use. I still highly recommend these to anyone in the market for some earbuds.

Other earbuds I own include Skullcandy Ink'd, shure e3c, TDK BA-200, some Altec Lansing buds, and a few others I can't remember. I also own ATH-M50 and HD518 full size headphones. These earbuds are fantastic for the price, bested in SQ only by my BA-200s in the IEM/earbud formfactor. They do however require a break-in. When I first got them I was a little disappointed due to significant sibilance and slightly muted bass. After listening for a while, I set them to play my library at a slightly above normal listening volume and left them for 48hrs. When I gave them another listen, they had changed significantly. The sibilance died down significantly, though there is still a tiny bit there. The bass livened up and smoothed out. They just plain sounded better. This wasn't just me getting used to them either, as I hadn't listened to them more than 10 minutes, two days ago. Bass - These aren't going to blow you away with quantity, but they do deliver plenty of smooth, fast, quality bass. The bass range seems nicely balanced, not peaky, and goes pretty low. On a few songs it does begin to break up in the bottom octaves, but this is pretty much isolated to high-volume hip-hop/rap. I.e. on Plies F@#$in or What the sweeping bass drop distorts and the vocals start to break up as well. This is mostly an isolated problem however, not one to be too worried about. Mids - Vocals, guitars etc sound great on these. Very smooth and present. Separation is quite good as well. Soundstage is decent. Not mind-blowing, but pretty good for 'buds. Highs - Highs are quite good, with good extension and balance. These sound lively without being harsh or overly bright. There is some occasional sibilance though. I'm very sensitive to this so it might not be that bad, it's just one of those things that I always look closely at with audio because I find it so irritating. The level of sibilance on these is totally fine for me though. Construction seems very good. The metal housings are well put together and look high quality. The flanges that come with these are the usual fare. Finding a fit was easy. I've since replaced them with Comply tips that came with my TDK buds. This did improve the sound a bit, and increased isolation. Isolation on these is so-so. There's a little port on the bottom or each ear by the cable. I'm assuming this is the reason for the relatively light isolation. Overall, these are a great buy. I'm quite happy with my set, although if you can afford them (or find them at r o s s, google it), the TDK BA-200 blows these away. For the price these are the best I've seen.

BUILD QUALITY The first thing I noticed about these earphones is the build quality. These wires look sturdy and dependable. If I were strangle someone with a set of earphone wires, this would be my material of choice. The rest of the earphones seem to be made mostly of solid metal. You can tell its metal because when you first put them in your ears its usually pretty cold. Like the chill your butt feels when you first sit on a toilet seat in the middle of winter, but on your ears. Don't get me wrong though, its extremely comfortable. I've owned some semi-high end earphones in the past from Sennheiser, Sony, Yamaha, etc and these are one of the more comfortable that I've experienced. Not to mention they come with a bountiful amount of the rubber ear pieces of various sizes. Normally you open the package of ear pieces and without even trying you are like "I see three, there are three sets of ear pieces". With the E10 I didn't attempt to count the number of ear pieces. Theres even this weird double-decker one. The E10 isolates a lot more rubbing noises on the lines than most earphones. You still hear a good bit of it but its not too bad. I tried walking around outside on a windy day with these and I didn't hear any of the vibrations caused by the wind. I'm sure you all are well aware that your typical earphones act like wind antennas tuning into the voices of the wind. The E10 blocks almost all of it. SOUND QUALITY The first time I listened to the E10 the bass was overpowering and the mid frequencies were soft. After awhile though (about a day of use) the bass evened out and mid frequencies became crisp. I never believed in the "break-in" period but these earphones did sound better, basically perfect, after a day. Must be that transducer craft, the black magic of engineering. If you are searching for earphones that sound like surround sound on-ear headphones then your journey continues. Although these sound amazing, they still sound like your usual in-ear headphones. (Though I sometimes prefer the sound of in-ear). I wish I could run some frequency responses and plot some bode plots but I don't have the equipment.

Good quality in such price

Pasando de unos Xiaomi Hybrid pro a los E10, me quedo muy feliz. Tienen buena calidad de materiales con las cápsulas de metal y el cable trenzado La calidad de sonido está bien balanceada, con quizá bajos más sobresalientes Difícil encontrar un mejor producto por este precio. Lo único es que devolví este producto ya que al no fijarme bien, no noté que esta era la versión sin micrófono y después compré la que lo tiene, así que tengan en cuenta eso.

Feels a bit flimsy and at the price range there are better options. not too bad though

Le E10, nate due anni dalla casa cinese 'SoundMagic', sono ormai ben conosciuti nell’ambiente tanto che queste piccole gioielli hanno, per ben due anni seguito, vinto la 1° premio per le cuffie di 'Entry Level' dalla prestigiosa revista inglese "What Hi-Fi". Io mi sono avvicinato a loro grazie a questo fattore dopo di aver tirato avanti da anni untilizzando solo le cuffie in-ear bianchi dotazione con l'ipod e questi sono, dunque, le mie prime cuffie 'entry level'. Mamma Mia che DIFFERENZA, non c'é confronto l'uno con l'altro! La firma sonora di queste mi ha lasciata a bocca aperta e la costruzione é decisamente solida e ben rifinita. COME SUONANO? Dopo un lungo rodaggio il suono non si è mosso di una virgola. Queste cuffie le vedo ottimamente come cuffiette da corsa/palestra, anche se non sono presenti le guide per farle rimanere stabili dietro l’orecchio; la loro ottima efficienza poi permette anche di usare sorgenti poco potenti come telefoni/smartphone e via dicendo. BASSI: TANTI. Proprio il medio-basso è molto in evidenza, gonfiando anche la scena grazie a un riverbero che si fa sentire non poco, potrebbero facilmente essere quelle ben + costosi della Sennheiser! MEDI: Arretrati, non moltissimo ma decisamente sono indietro nella scena complessiva. Le voci sono assolutamente morbide e mai taglienti. ALTI: Secchi e non taglienti. Infine, vengano in dotazione con ben 8 ricambi (6 nella confezione + due sulle cuffie stesse) di ear-bud tips in morbidissimo silicone. Addatto a tutti direi! PRO: - Se il suono che cercate è quello bassosetto e mai stancante non avrete problemi, le cuffie non affaticano assolutamente vista la morbidezza generale del timbro. La mancanza della custodia rigida è insomma compensata da un prodotto che non dovrebbe sciuparsi facilmente CONTRO: - Avrei preferito una custodia rigida: il sacchettino di plastica in dotazione é decisamente cheap!

Build Quality: The new models come with twisted pair wires and helps improve the durability of the cable. The covering for the wires are plastic rather than rubber and lasts longer and is more durable. The IEM body, Y-junction and connecter are made from metal and is very strong. The Stress reliefs on the buds are color coded. Red (right) Blue (left) When you are spending this sort of money for IEMs, you expect them to last at-least 6 months; These will last you 18 months at-least and with company warranty of 12 months. Performance: The Earphones have a very neutral sound. The IEMs (In Ear Monitors) have good and quick hitting bass, but don't expect Ooodles of Bass though. The high end is also well refined and the mid-range really comes out especially in Vocals. You can consider them to be HiFi, so well worth the price. Reasonable clarity and separation for Hindi music, English pop and English rock. Good For: Vocals (Male & Female), Pop music, Piano solos, U-tube music videos Now the Cons, The buds on the IEMs are very below par and play spoil sport....you should save $5 a month and buy Comply Foam buds( $15) to rectify this problem. The default buds are not comfortable, does not isolate well and spoils the sound-stage. (there is also a double flange bud which I have not used yet)
