Hi Anirban,I have just got a reply from Flipkart and they confirmed that Sennheiser CX 180 Headphone is compatible with Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG.
DeleteHi....
ReplyDeleteI own a Nokia 620 and I'm looking for In-The-Ear headset which are compatible with it. Initially i was using Skullcandy S2SBFY -058 Smokin' Buds ( too specific? ) which worked very good but also had very short life. So I guess I don't want Skullcandy again. Read the reviews about Skullcandy... Bose...Beats saying they are overrated. Long story short, I want earphones under 1000 with good bass and noise cancellation and i'm absolutely lost....... A little help ?
Hi Iikhita,
Deletego with SoundMagic ES18 Noise IsolationIn-Ear Headphone.It is the best earphones under 1000 with good bass and noise cancellation.
Im using BB q5 and also want to use it for S3.. any idea which one wud fit perfect?
ReplyDeleteHi mrunmayee,
DeleteI would suggest go with SoundMagic ES18 Noise IsolationIn-Ear Headphone.
Confused which one to buy for Nokia Lumia 630, sannheiser cx 180 or soundmagic es18
ReplyDeleteHi E V Ravi,both SoundMagic ES18 and Sennheiser CX 180 are compatible with Nokia Lumia 630.Now about Sennheiser CX 180 vs SoundMagic ES18,since I am using SoundMagic ES18,I am a bit biased towards it but I also checked Sennheiser CX 180 of my friend and found it low in bass than SoundMagic ES18.
DeleteDon't go for sennheiser cx 180 for Lumia.very low bass nd sound,
DeleteI have a samsung s3 and i just ordered skullcandy 2xl spoke x2spcz-810 ..
ReplyDeleteso what do u think whether i should cancel this or buy this??
Hi abhi,Skullcandy 2XL Spoke X2SPCZ-810 is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S3 but had I been in your place,I would not have bought it.There are many good headphones at that price range.Just because of Skullcandy brand,don't buy mediocre headphones.
DeleteHi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. I am using Nexus 5 and i want compatible IEM for it. I am looking for options like Sennheiser CX 180 and SoundMagic ES18. Can you please suggest me which one is better for my phone. I hope these two IEM's are without mic. If you can suggest IEM with mic under 1k.
Thanks in Advance.
Kanthi Kiran
Hi Kanthi Kiran
DeleteI would suggest you to go with SoundMagic ES18 for your Nexus 5.
Yeah,both Sennheiser CX 180 and SoundMagic ES18 are without mic.
Under 1K,I would suggest you to buy Sony MDR-EX110AP from Snapdeal at Rs 999.It is the best IEM with mic under 1K.
Hi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for an in-ear headphone with mic and music controls ( like prev & next ) .... please suggest me one .... it should give a great music experience ...
Thanks and regards,
Ramakrishna
Hi Ramakrishna
DeleteI would suggest you to go with Sony MDR-EX110AP In-Ear Headphones with mic.
pls tell me the best in-ear headphone below 1000rs for lumia 620. If there is a MIC then its better for me, but first priority is sound quality with good bass and loudness.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan
DeleteWithout mic,the best IEM is SoundMagic ES18.
With mic,the best IEM is Sony MDR-EX110AP.
I am already using sennheiser cx380 which I buyed for Rs 1500 a year ago. It performs well but not good enough, I think it doesn't supports well on Lumia 620. It gives more better sound in my laptop
ReplyDeleteHi Alan
DeleteNow you can go with SoundMAGIC ES18S with mic for Rs 857.
Hey tarun. I read in a cutomer review in amazon that soundmagic es 18 dont work properly for galaxy s4. I am using a galaxy s4. Can you confirm this? Which other eraphones are best for galaxy s4 below 1000.
ReplyDeleteHi Sri
DeleteI have not used SoundMagic ES18 with Galaxy S4.So I can't confirm this.
But I can confirm that Skullcandy S2IKDY-010 Ink'd Headset with mic works with your phone but it costs Rs 1200.
Hey tarun, wt about the es18s? They come with a mic, but is the sound quality same as that of es 18?
ReplyDeleteHi Sachin
DeleteSoundMagic ES18S earphones come with mic and have been launched in 2 colour combinations - Black & Silver and Red & Black - recently on Flipkart.They are the same as ES18 but come with mic.So yes,they have the same quality as that of ES18.
Thanx for the suggestion tarun, I buyed es18, they are awesome. Now pls tell me a headphone for Lumia 620, which have a sound adjuster and prev and next option also, under 1k
ReplyDeleteHi Alan
DeleteI wish I could help you but headphones are not differentiated on the base whether they come with sound adjuster and previous and next button.
Hi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to know if sennheiser cx120 street ii is compatible with moto x and does it have a mic?
Secondly, which is the best headphone with mic under 1500 bucks best compatible with moto x?
Looking forward for your speedy response.
Hi Vaibhav
DeleteI think you have mistyped CX180 as CX120.
Anyways yes Sennheiser CX 180 is compatible with Moto X but it does not come with a mic.
The best headphone with mic under 1500 bucks best compatible with Moto X is SoundMagic ES18S.
Hey tarun. I am damn confused bw es18 and cx180. Pls suggest which one is better on durability. Coz cx180s got a 2yr warranty while es18 has 6 months. Also tell me where can I find soundmagic service centre near delhi.
ReplyDeleteHi Vikram
DeleteSennheiser CX 180 is more durable than SoundMagic ES 18.
Give some reviews on Tekfusion. Does it support in Lumia 620? If yes then which model? Does it have a volume controller? What's the quality?
ReplyDeleteHi Alan,two earphones worth mentioning from Tekfusion are Ecoofers and Twinwoofers.
DeleteThey don't come with volume controller and are compatible with Lumia 620.
But buy it only if you are comfortable doing 'Burn-In' process of earphones because without it,you will have a negative experience with Tekfusion earphones.Read the Burn-In Guide at Tekfusion's site.
Hey Tarun, I wanted to know whether or not Soundmagic ES 18 earphones are compatible with Nexus 7 and Micromax Canvas A116?
ReplyDeleteHi Vedant, Soundmagic ES18 earphones are compatible with Nexus 7 and Micromax Canvas A116.
DeleteHey Tarun, Suggest me a earphone for Xperia sp, I have bought a es18 for my other phone Moto E they are very comfortable and offers a little bit noise cancelling but they are not as much durable and offers a low sound.
ReplyDeletePlease suggest a earphone with good noise cancelling and high sound quality.

Hi Harpreet,my suggestion for you is : buy Sony MDR-EX110AP In Ear Earphones for your Sony Xperia SP.
Deletehey Tarun, thanks for the info. Can you suggest me the best earphones for my Apple4 with good base and music clarity?

ReplyDeleteNokia Coloud Pop WH 510 is available at Rs 1200,not Rs 1000.
Deleteit is available for 1071 on ebay, with manufacturers warranty.
Deleteis it a good buy?
Hey Shivendra,if you are going with eBay,go with a trusted seller.
DeleteThe product looks good.
Ho tarun, why there is sound quality difference between es18 red and es18 green? Green is not upto the mark. Looks like duplicate.
ReplyDeleteHey alan,there is no difference between ES18 Red and ES18 Green .Avtually I think the problem is with the seller.ES18 Red is sold by WS Retail which is the seller name of Flipkart while ES18 Green is sold by some other seller who might be selling duplicate model of ES18 Green.That's why I always buy from WS Retail on Flipkart and recommend you to do the same.
DeleteHi tarun,can you tell me whether skullcandy will work for Nokia Lumia 630 or not?
ReplyDeleteHi Ravi,the Skullcandy earphone listed here works with Nokia Lumia 630.
DeleteHi Tarun, great review. I had a SoundMagic ES 18 for my iPhone 4, but they were stolen. I'm thinking of buying them again.
ReplyDeleteHowever, can you suggest me a good music headset with iphone volume controls in this budget?
Hi Kuldeep,there is no way to know which handset comes with volume controls.However since you have already used SoundMagic ES 18 ,I would suggest you to buy Cowon EM1 .

ReplyDeleteHi Sanchit,
Deletedon't go with Sennheiser and Skullcandy at this range.These are good-looking but bad in sound effects.
SoundMagic may be unpopular,being a company from China but its products at low budget are awesome.
out of these 3 which is the most comfortable in ears for long hours
ReplyDeleteSoundMagic ES18 is most comfortable in ears for long hours.
DeleteI have sony mdr220 lp and i'm totally satisfied with base n all...so if tried these, tell me which is better among creative ep630 (most popular and bassy they say), sennheiser cx 180 (overall perfect) and SM es18 (everyone is giving 5 star)..
ReplyDeleteBass is my first choice but it shouldn't ruin the quality of rest of sound effects..
Please suggest with some explanation...thanks in advance
Hi Nitin,
Deleteout of these 3,I have tried SoundMagic ES18 and Sennheiser CX 180.ES18 is the overall winner in every aspect including bass,treble and other sound effects etc.So go with SoundMagic ES18 on Snapdeal.

Hi Vikky,
Deletego with SoundMagic ES18 for your Moto G.
hi tarun i have a doubt that are you getting any kind of benifits from soundmagic as you are refering this most . why i am saying this means i am using this for past 5 days bought it frm flipkart for 630 bucks for black version but didnt felt great it kinda normal one without much bass or much treble . adding another shock flipkart discontinued this product as they would not do this for fast moving or good one ?
DeleteHi Vikky,you must have got a defective product.Get it replaced b Flipkart.If you don't believe me about this earphone,read reviews by others on web and on this page too.

ReplyDeleteHi Gajanan,
Deletebetter option is to go with Sony MDR-ZX110 Over Ear Headphone under Rs 1000 for bass and better comfort.
Hi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteCan you confirm about the durability and warranty of SoundMagic ES18 because Flipkart says 6 months manufacturer warranty while amazon, snapdeal, homeshop18 says 1 year manufacturer warranty. Also I saw the black color ES18 on Flipkart from WS retail but couldn't find black color on any other website. I liked the black color and would like to buy it but I am confused if it is a genuine product or not.
Therefore should I buy the black color ES18 with 6 months manufacturer warranty from flipkart or should look for some other color on some other shopping site with more warranty. I really liked the black color and wanted to buy. Please help me with this.
Hi Rahul,
DeleteI am using the black coloured SoundMagic ES18 myself and it's a genuine product.
Although the product is durable,I don't know why Flipkart is giving only 6 months warranty instead of 12 months.
But if you want 1 year warranty,go with red coloured SoundMagic ES18 from Snapdeal.
Hi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteCan you plz guide which are best earphones for Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Grand under Rs1000/-?
No Mic needed. Need solely for Music and movies perspective.(No gaming)

Aayush
Hi Aayush,

Hi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteI have checked with flipkart and they say that as per the updates the warranty is of 1 year.
Thanks..
Nice !
DeleteHey Tarun! I currently own Moto X and I wanted something which one should feel expectional. I had Sennheiser CX 180 Street 2 Which I recently lost somewhere. Kindly suggest me so that I finalize a.s.a.p.
ReplyDeleteHi Avesh,I would suggest you to go with black SoundMagic ES18 on Flipkart or red SoundMagic ES18 on Snapdeal.
DeleteThanks a lot Tarun. But I have heard a lot about Tekfusion Twinwoofer. Is there any competition between the two, the soundmagic and the Tekfusion?
DeleteBuy it only if you are comfortable doing 'Burn-In' process of earphones because without it,you will have a negative experience with Tekfusion earphones.Read the Burn-In Guide at Tekfusion's site.
DeleteThanks a lot Tarun! I really liked your post and it's undoubtedly beneficial for someone like me. Thank you for helping me out. I would try the burn-in process, And Last question, can you tell me how often do I have to burn every day?
ReplyDeleteYou have to do it only one time after you buy the earphones i.e. immediately after buying.
DeleteOnly one time? The Official site says to do it atleast 10 days, 4 hours per day to sum up to 40 hours at least.
DeleteIt varies with manufacturer.Always follow the instructions of manufacturer since it's their creation.
DeleteHi Tarun,
ReplyDeleteThis is Priyank.Actually main problem i have faced everytime is either one earbud stopped working or got less sound in comparision of another one that cause sound imbalance when we use them OR we got wire damage as we had to shake it for proper voice.
So i am in need to ask if there is any earpiece who is more reliable as well as good sound quality.
thank you
Hi Priyank,
DeleteI would suggest you to buy SoundMagic ES18 from Snapdeal.It has good sound quality as well as reliability.
Did i tell you Tarun i am passianate about bass.I have checked these earphone and it is not for me.
DeleteSo could you suggest some BANG-DHOOM type earphone please
Hi
ReplyDeleteTell me wether seinhessier cx180 or skull candy smokin bud which is better for xperia. C
Nitesh
Hi Nitesh,
DeleteSennheiser CX180 is better for Sony Xperia C.
Which one is better for Moto X
ReplyDeleteSound Magic ES18s or Skullcandy S2SBFY-058?
I am looking for good quality with mic and comparability with moto x. Budget upto 2k
SoundMagic ES18S and Skullcandy S2SBFY-058 both are good for your Moto X.
DeleteBelow ₹2K,I would suggest you to go with Apple MD827ZM/A In-the-ear Headset with Remote and Mic.
Hey Tarun,
ReplyDeleteWould the Magic of ES18 be there with the new android one devices?
I have the Micromax Canvas A1. I hope there isn't any compatibility issues.
Thanks.
Hi Deepak,since Micromax Canvas A1 has a basic 3.5mm jack,there should not be any compatibility issues with SoundMagic ES18.
DeleteHi tarun I've got moto e and want to buy sennhieser CX 180 . will it be compatible with my phone.thanks

ReplyDeleteHi Gurtej,

ReplyDeleteSennheiser CX275 is good.It comes with mic and remote for easy management of calls and music tracks.
DeleteHey Tarun,great review there!
ReplyDeleteI have a few queries rather concerns I must say,I am planning to buy an IEM under 1K
but at the moment I am very very confused about which one to buy,your help will be really appreciated.The IEMs which I have shortlisted are
Sennheiser CX 180
Cowon Em1
Creative-EP 630
Sound Magic ES18
Initially i was inclined towards SM ES18 reading the reviews about its audiophilic sound but when i read they come with a cheap build quality,my mind was changed.
I moved to sennheiser cx180,that had good reviews about its build quality and also offering a 2 yr manufacturer warranty but when I read about the sound reviews,some said they were simply rubbish and they sounded quite similar to cheap samsung earphones bundled with mobiles,that changed my mind again and I moved to creative ep630,that had a good review about sound,a little less than sound magic es18 but their build quality and durability was a question of doubt after reading some of the reviews.My final IEM was Cowon EM1,never heard of them just like sound magic ES18 but had little but praising reviews about its build quality as well as in terms of sound,they had good reviews.
So my final question to you is,I like Sennheiser CX180 due to its durability and but is it's sound quality real good or do they really sound like cheap Samsung earphones?
I was very determined to buy the sound magic but I heard they were of very less durability,so less that even after taking care they break in one year.
CowonEM1 has good reviews about duarbility as well as sound quality but I have never heard of them and I think I would face problems availing my warranty and are they good noise isolating IEM?
Dont have much idea but Creative-EP630,good sound I have heard but heard duarbility and the build quality sucks,what do you think?
Please tarun help me,I am looking for a good sound quality(not like cheap IEMs bundled with handsets) IEM,great durability and okay okay sound isolation and which are compatible with my Sony Xperia E.Which among the four would best suit me according to my requirement and concerns?
Help will be really appreciated tarun,sorry for writing such a big comment and thanx for reading it entirely.
Hi Vidit !
DeleteI read your comment and came to the conclusion that Cowon EM1 is the best for you since you need durability and good sound quality.
Does the sound quality of Sennheiser CX 180 so average that they sound like cheap Samsung bundled earphones? Do they have good bass?
DeleteI have also read reviews saying Cowon EM1 have good build quality but they cannot deliver the full bass which they can,but cannot do so in less sound amplifying smartphones like Xperia E as in my case,is the bass really so mediocre? Have you got hands on sound experience on Cowon EM1,if yes,then how was the bass and overall music quality according to you?
Sorry for asking too many questions.help will be again appreciated.
Hi Vidit,
DeleteI have used Sennheiser CX 180 and can personally confirm that they don't sound like cheap bundled earphones.They have good bass.
I can't comment about Cowon EM1 since I have not used them but they are praised for their solid build quality and good bass.
Last Question:-
DeleteSennheiser CX 180,Cowon EM1,SoundMagicES18,Creative EP630
Are all these compatible with Sony Xperia E?
Yes,all are compatible.
DeleteI've bought Moto E. I want to buy earphones. I'll use them only for leisure at home and on long journeys. I don't want to use them on roads to avoid the risk. Which earphones will be good for me? The stock earphones of Motorola cause itching in my ears. Are IEM earphones better or over the head headphones.????
ReplyDeleteHi Varun,
DeleteI have used both IEM and over the ear heaphones.But I liked IEM since they are lightweight and don't cover whole ear.
Go with SoundMagic ES18.
Hi Tarun,Appreciate the great work you're doing.. Keep going..
ReplyDeleteI own a Nokia Lumia 820 (which I might upgrade to 930 later). I am in need of an IEM with audio controls which I can use with Windows Phones. Max budget is 1.5k
If in cacse there are no IEMs with audio controls,which one would you recommend among ES18 and CX180 Street II if I use it to listen to Bollywood songs mostly. I need a durable one with good noise isolation and sound clarity,and also able to wear it while jogging. Thanks in advance :)
Hi Anand, for audio controls and your budget,Sennheiser CX275s suits you best.
DeleteHi tarun, i need your help buddy between choosing SoundMagic ES18 & Sennheiser CX 180. i need to which has better sound quality with clarity. and i have seen video of unboxing of both IEM's. i found SoundMagic ES18 cable is very stiff and double housing cable, will that be a problem?, on the other hand Sennheiser CX 180 look is classy and cable is smooth in looking in videos. But now i'm confuse between these two in choosing. In your reply's i found that SoundMagic ES18 has got better response from you. you tell which one i should go with. reply buddy ASAP.
ReplyDeleteHi Piyush,
Deletego with SoundMagic ES18.
Hi tarun, i want to purchase soundmagic es 18 but confused about the warranty policy of soundmagic according to company website there is no service center of soundmagic in india and we should contact to our dealer for waranty claim if i purchase earphone from snapdeal or amazon,flipkart from any seller then i how to claim warranty because they mention 1year manufacturer warranty please clear my confusion thanks in advance
