Hi guys im looking for a a pair of in earphones within 2k, so looking for suggestions. I am looking for something that is adequately good for all types of music, i am not a basshead but but dont want something that is dull either. I presently am looking at Soundmagic E10(theitdepot.com is selling them for 1930+ shipping) so pour in your suggestions

, also mention where i can get them from, buying locally from kolkata is 1st preference then online, thanks in advance.
 
going by the reviews, i think the e10 would be a solid choice..your other option would be brainwavz m1 but those are quite hard ro drive.you will need a good player to get the full potential out of them..whats your source? i would anyday get an e10 since soundmagic products sound really good atleast as good as iems that are twice their price, just my 2 cents .

wat iems do use? m1 ? m1 has an impedence of 40 ohms...thats pretty high...soundmagics have an impedance of 12 to 15 ohms...there's your answer

****m1 has an impedance of 32 ohms.....my bad...still very high though compared to e10
 
32 ohm is not hard to drive , in comparision to e10 it maybe harder to drive but even my Galaxy 3 , Sansa Clip + , Ipod touch could drive them to their fullest. I had a m1 i sold it . So telling from my experience itself.
 
Go for the BRAINWAVZ M1 very fun sounding earphones as well as the sound detailing on these is solid [compared to my SoundMAGIC PL 30], the bass is good [doesn't overwhelm other instruments OR the vocals], vocals are probably my favorite about this [listening to Roseta Stoned -- Tool] and the strings are well represented too..

Else for a branded ear-phone go for the Sennheiser CX 180, it has supporters here, although I have not used them personally. Also sound is speculative, what you I like from music is not what you want, so take all this advice with a pinch of salt.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
Yeah at that budget i would suggest you to buy either a CX-180 or Brainwavz m1 , CX-180 is more bass oriented and fun sounding too , vocals throw are not phenomenal but not something which you will whine about , I personally liked the CX-180 more although the Brainwavz m1 were slightly better in sound detailing.
 
Call me old-fashioned, old-school, ancient alien...whatever. But I think EP-630 by Creative was the one of the best set of earphones I have used in my entire life. And guess what! The damage to the pocket was a mere Rs. 600!

In my humblest of opinions, I feel that buying 'budget' headphones/earphones is as pointless as fasting for corruption. Fine, you'll get some results, you'll feel good about yourself, but after a point, you'll be like, "Damn. I should have gone for NR/NC Headphones".
 
I own M1

I suggest you to go with Brainwavz alpha pro instead of M1; they are lighter to drive , more bass and more fun to listen.
 
OK so finally bought the soundmagic E10M from smc 1900 with free shipping got delivery yesterday and they sound fantastic when used with my laptop but when i plug em to my nokia 5800 they sound funny like parts of the audio have been cut out..... was wondering why that is and any solutions?
