Pro- smooth sound & well balanced, NOT for base lover(you can go for JBL under ₹1k)
Cons- earcup slips. This irritates me.
Company should have been changed the design of earcup so that it fit well in ear

UPDATE October ’22: Now two best tuned iems are available. 7Hz Zero and Moondrop Chu. Both are ruling budget chifi space.
UPDATE July ‘22: DON’T buy SOUNDMAGIC. Mostly a dead brand by now. There are BETTER iems for less and around 2000. CCA CRA, Moondrop Chu, ever popular Blon BL03, KZ ZEX PRO.
Past gear experiences: BoAt basshead 225, rockerz 440, Oppo enco m31, SoundMagic E11C
Currently: Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk, Aria, Hifiman He400se.
I bought these instead of Blon BL03, as Blon wasn’t available (and other iems mentioned below were released later) at the time I decided to buy some decent iems or earphones. Only obvious choice under RS 2500 boiled down to either Blon or E11C. I didn’t want to risk my money as a beginner who likes to enjoy good sound.
Frequency Response Comparison: Refer to Crinacle’s website. If you don’t know already, Crinacle is one of the best iem reviewers out there. Although he hasn’t reviewed e11c, but you’ll get FR graph in his website. Comparing side by side with BL03, BL03 has more mid bass hump with sub bass, +3dB more than e11c. Also mid range is a bit recessed in BL03, but treble response in BL03 is far better than e11c.
So to conclude, e11c has less spacious feeling, less airiness than BL03.
Comparing with Aria, e11c is no match for any SQ; Aria with better bass slam, better resolution, details and instrument separation. Lower treble response is wayy better on Aria. Aria follows Harman Target, if that’s your cup of tea. Aria sounds warmer and so does e11c, but Aria’s also is non fatiguing and for more relaxed listening session. Under $100, Aria is considered to be one of the best, sharing places with Starfield, Etymotic ER2 series.
Soundstage: not bad per se, but definitely Aria has better soundstage. If you are looking for casually playing mobile games like BGMI or ex-PUBG, or other FPS games, e11c won’t disappoint you much, far better than ćr@ppy 549 super extra bass earphones or some rockerz trash.
If you haven’t used any decent iems before, just bought crappy 299, 549 super extra bass earphones or some rockerz ćr@ps ( has nonexistent mid range, bloated bass, more bloated than any body in a muddy water pond in a hot summer month for at least a month, muddy vocals, let alone details and instrument separation, basically garbage), you’ll be blown away by e11c. But if you are planning for sidegrade from semi-decent iems, I would ask to skip it. Save up a bit more, buy Tin t2 plus, or Aria or Etymotic er2xr, or Blessing 2 Dusk or Thieaudio Monarch or 64audio u12t (as your endgame iems). :p
I’m not gonna compare it with He400i directly as these 2 are vastly different, one is in ear, other is over ear open back. But yeah e11c doesn’t hold a candle to He400i, just saying.
VERDICT: To conclude, I’d say e11c is average as you have far more competent iems in this price range like Moondrop spaceship, quarks and BL03 itself, KZ DQ6.
(I’m not recommending KZ Zst or KZ ZSN PRO as those have harsh treble response that can fatigue your ear faster and more brighter sound signature which may not be most guys’ preference.
Never ever get fooled by tech shill pages promoting particular product or audio-illiterate youtubers. Go to reddit or public forum pages to get more authentic reviews from actual users or e-commerce website reviews. And refrain yourself from buying thise ‘EXTRA BASS’ ‘ DEEP BASS’ ‘HD SOUND @549’ type of earphones or iems if budget isn’t your concern.
Thank you for reading this far.

Eigenlijk zegt de titel alles. Voor deze prijs, mag je gerust kieskeurig zijn, maar ver kom je dan niet. Het geluid is echt erg goed. Lagen in muziek / sporen klinken behoorlijk gescheiden van elkaar wanneer dat zo bedoeld is, maar de muziek klinkt wel als één geheel. Lekker muziekaal. Prima bass, niet overdreven, goed midden en hoog. Op verschillende muzieksoorten die goed zijn geproduceerd en masterd klint het ook goed.
Muziek klint gedetailleerd. Je hoort heel fijn de texturen in een geluid. Bijvoorbeeld een rasp in een stem. Een drum met een fijn plokje erin die lichtjes nagalmt. Geluiden klinken verder ook gewoon lekker stevig en nemen de ruimte zelfverzekerd in, maar niet te veel. Dat soort dingen. Erg goed voor dit prijspunt.
Ze zitten bij mij niet helemaal top. De vorm is niet optimaal voor mijn oor en ze zijn net iets te licht om het gevoel te hebben dat ze echt goed zitten, maar gezien de prijs en het heerlijke geluidje vind ik dat geen probleem.

I love balanced sound,so this one is for me.
Bass lovers this one is not for you, everything is Balanced,bass is rich ,it doesn’t supress the vocals.
Feels very premium.comes with a premium case and pair of extra tips.
Wire is covered with some flexible plastic material which feels good in hand and housing of drivers is metal.
Audio jack is gold plated ;( can’t see any now due to regular rough use. This piece is sturdy,good built quality. Don’t know if this is water resistant or not.
Only *problem* that is faced is with the mic, quality is good but the placing of receiver is wrong ,while using the mic it tend to stay on other side of the housing i.e that cylindrical part,where mic is placed. So the clarity deteriorat.
And yeah the button…I never used that,or being honest I dont know, how it works…for volume and changing song is use my phone. So not useful for me.
Bought this for 2300/- so it is good for me,and I won’t buy this for more than this.
Let’s wrap it up with numbers.
Sound – 8/10
Bass – 8/10 for me this much bass is enough.
Mid – 9/10
Mic – 7/10
Overall – 7/10
Conclusion – if you love Sennheiser cx180 ,you gonna love this,it takes that to another level, everything is Balanced. But only if you get this for less than 2500/-

I bought this as an upgrade for my sturdy Sennheiser CX275s because I wanted an enhancement in sound quality without spending much more than CX275 price.
I researched a lot and read What Hifi reviews, where the Soundmagic E11C is a consistent winner. I read about other earphones too, like Bayerdynamics Byron, but they were unavailable in India and abroad. So I went ahead with E11C @2199/-.
Since receiving them this evening, Ive been comparing them with CX275S. Having heard a variety of songs, it’s clear why it’s an award winner. The sound quality punches well above its price. The sound is very well balanced and even, led by treble. The highlight is how well the instruments are seperated, creating an wide soundstage. This makes music enjoyable and stress free, whereas the CX275S is loud, bass heavy and cluttered around the top of ones head, leading to strain.
I listen to music through the app Poweramp (Pro version), and the sound is way clearer in E11C with and without processing.
The silcone supplied (4 sizes) didn’t quite work for me, so I used some of the old ones. The 3.5mm jack also needed a thread arohnd the based for a perfect fit, but that has to do with my phone’s 3.5mm socket, which I’ll get sorted from the Samsung servicr centre.
The cable is not prone to tangling, but the play/pause/next track button can be troublesome to locate.
Go for the E11C. It’s really worth it at this price.👍

After losing much loved Sennheiser CX300ii earphones, and buying the well-reviewed 1More Triple as replacement pair which was used for the past year, decided to try these E11c earphones given the good reviews. Have found the E11c better than the more expensive 1More, and somewhat better than current $120 Sennheiser and AKG ‘phones – the E11c balance is a ‘cleaner’ sound, good soundstage, with treble well-controlled and not too splashy. And the bass sounds natural, not overly full and thumping out of proportion to the overall sound.

La verdad son los majores audifonos de in ear que he tenido, muy buena calidad por el precio

Sound quality is very low.So many ear phones are available in the market at this price range with the good sound quality…So I am not happy with this headphone……

I come from sennheiser cx275 and there’s still no good replacement at that price point… E11c comes real close but not the same.. Sound quality is great… Idk why people complain about bass… Please do not buy this for bass… This is for natural sound and pure magic.. Go get any 300 rs earphone if you only want bass… The other complain is about earcup slip.. This only happens at certain angles.. Once you realize that.. There won’t be any problem.. And last but most important DO NOT GO FOR THE BLACK ONE AS THE QUALITY OF WIRE BETWEEN BLACK AND GRAY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT… I think the company should have mentioned this somewhere but they have not… If both are at the same price please go for gray as it is more durable as I’ve seen both the variants

Petit et discret avec les petits embouts pour mes oreilles, parfait en confort, isolement correct. Bon son, graves présents et nuancés, aigus détaillés, belles voies, tout quoi. Bon pour la hifi, après c’est beaucoup plus cher.
