Stick to soundmagic, get the ES18/MP21 if you are gonna use them with your phone & can afford them

what mixed reviews ? other than the cheap look and feel, everyone here thinks they're awesome. I upgraded to them from a Pl11/MP21 myself, and I think they're worth a lot more

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I was also looking for a budget IEM and I am stuck between Philips SHE3570 and the Soundmagic ES18, the price difference isn't that much, but I can't find the Philips instock on Flipkart where the price seems to be the lowest.

I wanted to know is the ES18 worth the extra couple of hundred bucks ? or should i wait for Philips SHE3570 to be instock at Flipkart ...

Cool thanks, but I was reading a few reviews on Flipkart and I came across a review which said these come second close to Philips SHE3581, and I checked the price for Philips SHE3581 and it is less than ES18, are the philips SHE3581 better ??

I want to use them with my phone, so they will be used mostly while going to sleep in the night, so I am a little apprehensive of the build quality, do the Philips one have a better build quality ??

@preet27 Personally I don't trust reviews on Flipkart. Search this forum and you'll find many appreciations to ES18. But, yes the build quality is little flimsy hence the lower price. SoundMagic IEMs are little low on build quality but the SQ wise these are better than Philips IMHO.

The buds are smaller so you can wear these comfortably at night while going to sleep but your hearing may damage over the time if you forget to remove and keep all the night(It happened to me many times so I stopped listening while going to sleep) :p

LoL !!! I gues I will tape the IEM's where the wire meets the Earbuds, so that I don't accidentaly pull the wire out while sleeping .... I won't be listening to loud music while sleeping, so I hope my ears stay intact, I need them till the day I DIE (NOT YET GOD):hail:

Homeshop18's old listing @400 does not have the Black Red combo in stock, but new listing has all 3 color combos priced at 490/-, i opted for Flipkart because of its prompt delivery and better ASS and CC, for 30Rupees more I think Flipkart is a more reliable option !!!
