SOUNDMAGIC
The award winning SoundMAGIC E10 is a beautifully finished sound isolating earphone.
Acoustic design follows on from the massively popular SoundMAGIC PL11 but with serious improvements to both the aesthetics and sound. Build quality is impressive, anti-tangle cabling with decent strain relief at all the relevant points and a robust metal jack plug tell you these little IEMs mean business! Picking the right sized tips (3 pairs included) will block out the majority of background noise. In short, this is a great pair of earphones, they are exceptional for the money as they seriously impress in the sound department. These are fantastic earphones for the money, definitely worth considering if you're on the lookout for a reasonably priced and sturdy upgrade from Apple's bundled earbuds, the SoundMAGIC E10 is in a whole other league.
