how are Soundmagic PL21 when compared to Soundmagic PL11 and Creative EP630 as all of these 3 costs almost the same...
Plz reply soon as I wish to purchase one of these very soon

 

[khmadhu]

bought soundmagic pl11 for Rs 585 net. good one at that price..

 

[aroraanant]

I just checked the rates on ebay.
The prices are:
EP630->650
PL11->533
PL21->600
Now which one to choose I m really very confused,have used EP630 I must say they are awesome but u guys say Soundmagic is good.PLz tell me guys which one to go for.

I m having a ebay discount coupon of Rs150 also

 

[doomgiver]

yaar, we have all told you.

buy anything other than ep-630. period.

cmon yaar, its not too hard to decide, no?
also dont you think we are giving good advice?

 

[aroraanant]

ok then.
I think PL21 is better than L11 so I m gonna PL21 then

 

[ratul]

ok, ir's 3 month since the last reply, but i was planning to buy ep-630, and after reading this, now i am planning to buy the pl-21.
But the main reason apart from SQ for me to buy ep-630 was the 1-year warranty which i know from where i would get.
But i dont know anything about the SoundMagics.
How to get the iem replaced in case of any fault.
Has anybody got their's replaced? How was the service and how much time it took for the replacement.
I live in delhi.

^^^
Dude now Creative EP-630 doesn't carry 1 year warranty any more gone are the days.
Now the warranty they provide is just 3 months.
And for heavens sake don't go for that as I personally used it for long time and was a fan too but following suggestions from TDF i got SM PL-21 and its fantastic on the other hand my Nokia WH-701 is fantastic too.

No mentions of JVC Marshmellows here?
I think they sell for around 0.5k and are highly famous in many forums. Do check them out.

ok, well i was also considering wh-701's, but did'nt thought of it having a SQ higher than ep-630's, but pls tell me about the warranty from the SoundMagics, and shud i have to buy them online only or i can get a dealer in delhi.(i dont prefer online as it could take some time to deliever.)

well i want to listen to hard metals(Godsmack), as well as pop, and normal indian bollywood, so i want good base for metals, and also good treble, high and low.
Should i choose JVC HA-fx34 or pl11 or pl21?

Hey, the one's at pristinenote are fake one's or originals or used ones? (at Rs.550??)
Coz i checked out at HomeShop18 (well known tv shopping channel here), and they are giving it at Rs.2144.

[Sarath]

But I would still say get the Sennheiser CX180 if you can. @1.3k. They are the best I have heard.

LOL JVC marshmellows shouldn't be more than 500 bucks anywhere.

 

[ratul]

Will anybody tell me about the warranty and service of pl-21 and jvc?
And can i get any of these directly from dealer( if possible in delhi.)
And i will listen the music from my Nokia 5233, most songs at 128-160kbps.
Then what will give the best sound quality from the two? (senheisers are out of my budget .)

Pristinenote has original earphones... Don't worry...

If you check on ebay.com, the same earphones are listed at 4$+shipping. But the shipping costs and the hassles of Customs are too much to bother.

There are many people who have bought from Pristinenote who might be able to vouch for the product authenticity... I have personally not yet bought from that seller...

 

[Sarath]

for upto 160kbps these should be fine. Infact getting better ones means that you will need a better sound source too.

I don't have much idea about the service. Check smc in delhi they have some sale running on, on the soundmagic series

Add:

Oh how lame of me, I bought Brainwavz M1 from pristinenote. So I can vouch for them too. Pretty good sellers.

 

[ratul]

ok, and which one of these two are more durable?
I mean i am a rough user, everytime in my pocket strangled and every night rolled over by me..
