SoundMagic E50C Headphones (Black/Red)

You’re probably going to neglect this review among the 5 stars and I can see why, but I can assure you that this is the worst earphones I’ve ever bought (by keeping their price in mind).
I’ve bought earphones of Sennheiser, Audio Techinica, Sony, Boat, Ant Audio, Soundmagic, Skull Candy, and KZ (Not earphones but Monitors). And compared to them this isn’t even capable of touching them in any way and I’m just comparing these with the earphones of all of the companies I’ve mentioned (Including Soundmagic) that are cheaper than this. This has a 3000rs price tag on this which is in No Way justified.
I’ve had Soundmagic E10c and if you’re buying these while thinking it’s going to be an upgrade on them, you’ll be immensely disappointed.
Now let’s talk about specifics
1. Sound quality
As I said it is excruciatingly painful to hear what this has to offer, the highs are not high AT ALL, mids are fine but lows are pretty non existent because whenever it touches the lower frequencies it just gives a muffled voice, the voice that comes out of a person wearing a mask. It is Not worth it at all.
2. Build quality
Where should I start, I’m not an extensive user and never sleep with earphones in my ear, and even if I did that with these, they won’t last 2 weeks, the build quality is worse than a 1000rs earphones from any unknown company and the wierd 45 degree angle is something that just gets in the way.
3. Value for money
Absolutely Not, In no way shape or form is this better than any earphones you can buy for about half the price i.e. 1500.

Whenever we pay more for something we expect something better, I’m very generous with my reviews and I don’t think I’ve ever even given something 3 stars and I never ever write a review about something but this is such an offensive piece of technology that I just couldn’t help myself. And I’ve still given it 2 stars because it’s not a “Bad” product, it just doesn’t come close to the cheaper products of other companies and unfortunately is not an improvement over the e10 in any way.
The only thing I can’t understand is why people has given this 5 stars, if this sound quality for you is worth giving this 5 stars then you should try other brands and see how sound can be more dynamic, higher ranged and all in all “Better”.

EDIT: After about 1 year, the rubber on the earphone wire is peeling off. I’m using it by applying cello tape. I think seller gave me a used, 2nd hand product.
But its still working, and much better quality audio than a typical Rs. 800 Mi In ear headphone. No idea what to do.

OLD REVIEW: Starting off, the product is really good, but I received a heavily damaged packaging. Although top opening seals were intact, the bottom portion was almost open.
The import sticker was so damaged, I couldn’t read the manufacturing date which now I’m sure its before 2018, because I once ordered and returned another E80 earphone and it was old too.

Coming to product, its pairing so well with my G8x. The high impedance mode kicks in and I get splendid quality, miles better than my Mi Dual Driver magnetic Earphones. Bass is a little on the lower side, but other elements are boosted and this is ideal for 80’s and jazz type music. Clarity is really next level as it is 51 ohms impedance. If you have a very simple phone which has medium to low volume in earphones, avoid this one, because high impedance means lesser volume (unless the DAC recognises it, like in my G8x). Even in a family member’s Redmi Note 4, there’s a good built in DAC which recognises high impedance and instantly boosted the volume to high levels… so even Redmi Note 4 was enjoyable with this earphone.
If you have a good audio device or phone, its a must have for the budget. It will match upto Rs. 5k earphones in quality.
Lots of accessories came with it, including 2 converters (one for computer, other for Nokia phones with 3.5mm jack), many many earplugs, one earphone case, etc.
It also can be used as a gaming headphone as its bass is low and clarity is next level, and in CS GO, the enemy steps are heard well… But in this matter, E80C is better which is now just Rs. 200 more than this E50C..

Loved the quality . This is second time I am buying this product after a very long time. Value for money . Noise cancellation works properly.

El sonido es muy bueno, los uso principalmente para escuchar música en mi teléfono y los accesorios que acompañan el producto son muy útiles.

El único pero es que para atender llamadas “me escuchan con ruido y poca claridad”, algunas veces desconectándolos un par de veces ya me escuchan con normalidad y de forma clara, pero no siempre funciona.

Llegue a la conclusión que el problema es compatibilidad de los audífonos con mi telefono; con un modelo anterior Sound Magic E10S no tenia este problema (tenían un switch manual, para compatibilidad) y actualmente uso otros de audífonos AKG para atender las llamadas, lo cual no es nada practico.

Por calidad de sonido los recomiendo, pero valida que le micrófono se comporte adecuadamente con tu teléfono.

I ordered these as a replacement to my Fiio F3 which unfortunately got trashed in the washer by me. These are pretty good sounding as far as earbuds go and especially for their price range. HOWEVER, even BRAND new the headphone jack plugs extremely loose in all my devices. I thought this was a specific issue so I opted for a replacement for the same pairs and that was also extremely loose. To clarify, by loose I mean just the slightest tug will pull these straight out of your device.

I really like the sound of these but they are simply not usable if they come out that easy. Looking at SoundMAGICs other products, E11(C), E10(C) I would steer clear from those as it appears they use the same type of connector.
