SoundMAGICE10C Wired Earbuds with Microphone HiFi Stereo Earphones Noise Isolating in Ear Headphones Powerful Bass Tangle Free Cord Black Gold

These earbuds have been used several hours every single day for over a year now. I use them at the gym, on phone calls at work, while riding my motorcycle and listen to music while studying for at least 4-6 hours per day. This is the first ever item on Amazon I've reviewed, but I almost feel like the least I can do is write this because their product has been ridiculously reliable after a lot of use.These are by far my favorite pair of earbuds I've ever worn. The sound quality is fantastic - I was sent here by reading up on quality earbuds on a forum dedicated to people who are obsessed with sound quality. "Audiophiles" they call themselves. I totally understand the recommendation. The bass is really great and more profound than any pair of earbuds I've ever worn without being distorting. You'll love these if you like dubstep and/or hip hop. Get ready to never pick up a pair of Apple's earbuds again after you get used to these things, the sound quality is just much better.As with any pair of earbuds, your individual ear shape will determine whether this design fits you well or not. I had to try a couple different sizes of the ear bud rubber cups (what the heck are those things called?) before I found 2 sizes that fit my ears well. If those rubber cups don't fit your ear properly, the metal barrel shape of these ear buds will contact your ear and it will hurt after a few hours. These things come with 3 or 4 different sizes, so I would imagine most people can find a size that fits properly. Speaking of the metal design to these ear buds, that brings me to my next point: Durability.These things are ridiculously and unexpectedly durable. I've literally done things with these ear buds that nobody should do. For example, going on a several mile nighttime run in a torrential downpour last year while listening to music with these earbuds. I put my iPhone in a double plastic baggy to keep it dry and figured I might have to buy new earbuds after the run. Somehow, I didn't and they survived the soaking rain just fine. I also am pretty sure I accidentally washed them with a pair of shorts some time last year, but I don't quite remember. Either way, they have worked flawlessly despite all of this mistreatment. I've dropped them multiple times and my cat also decided to use them as a toy one night, hence having to utilize the 2nd pair of rubber ear cups which fit me that came with the earbuds. I'm not saying I would expect these things to be waterproof out of the box, as they honestly should not be - my point here is that they have been way more impervious to the elements and mistreatment than I would ever expect a 40 dollar pair of earbuds to be. I'm sure it is possible to find a way to break a standard pair of these, but if you do, I would really hesitate to blame the manufacturer.

I bought my first E10 years ago and it is still functioning perfectly after steady use. However, I upped the ante to the E80 model when I found it on sale for nearly half price here on Amazon. The E80 is more neutral and accurate when listening to music for long periods. Recently, however, I got an iPhone SE and wanted an earphone with a mic to use for hands-free calls. I tried the E50 and returned it as the audio quality was garbage; SoundMagic has a lemon with that model. Fortunately, Amazon had the E10C in blue at an amazing price. Now I have great audio, a mic, and a hard to lose color for just a few bucks more than a garbage phone from a big-box store. I am now a happy camper!

Seriously, these are not a waste of money. I spend hours everyday wearing headphones- I'm such a music junkie. I wear these on my daily runs, I wear them while I'm doing errands, I only use these when I talk on the phone, I use these when I'm meditating before bed. Ive dropped them in hot coffee, I've slammed them in my car doors, I've lost them under my seat and pulled them out by the cord. They hold up well, the sound quality is the awesome, and they're very comfortable.WARNING: When I first received these one of the headphones sounded like it was muted- the sound was very quiet. I looked online and a review on google said that this can happen to all earbuds. It happens because the mesh metal piece inside the earbud is inverted. All you have to do is take of the rubbery piece that goes inside your ear, seal your lips around the plastic, and suck. This brings the metal mesh piece to the position and shape that it's supposed to be in. I received these headphones a year ago and I haven't had any other problems with them since then!

The mic/remote was non-functional right out of the box. It could be a QA fail on this specific unit, but one is enough for me. For the build and sound quality, you can get much better for half the price (that actually works). I'm not too keen on the industrial design either; the wire cladding is stiff and sticky and the remote is large with awkward buttons. The sound is okay, but on the tinny side. Even if it had been fully functional, these would be a return.

I wanted something less cumbersome then my Bluetooth over the head earphones. A good quality pair of in ear headphones that was over $50. I had read around for reviews and came across the SoundMagic E10. The only drawbacks for the E10 pair was the lack of a remote on the wire and the durability of aux plug that connects to your device.So I browsed a bit more and came along the E10c model. I believe this model addresses and answers the flaws of the E10 without jeopardizing the good attributes of the E10. Making it a 5/5 imo. I'm completely satisfied with the product because it meets what I wanted out of a pair of in ear wired earphones. I didn't want Bluetooth this time around.GREAT sound quality (for the average listener), good noise isolation for when I'm on the train, durable, comfortable, remote for calls and changing tracks, and at a relatively low price. It's a great value. Even comes with a port so you can use it for your PC. Love em!

I loved these earbuds. I use them almost every day. They're comfortable, have good sound quality, the mic works well, and they're good looking. The case is super convenient and compact but has a hard exterior to keep it from being squished. All was well until almost a year later, the left earbud stopped working. I purchased these Jan 21, 2021 and the earbud stopped working Jan 9, 2022. I've reached out to SoundMagic to try to get a replacement as the 1-year warranty is still in effect. I haven't heard back but will update this review as soon as I hear from them.**UPDATE** Amazon replaced the earbuds at no charge under SoundMagic's 1-year warranty. Arrived in perfect working condition. I hope these ones last longer than a year!
