I have not used many IEMs so i can't compare its isolation with others.I am currently using stock biflange tips with these and to me isolation is enough.I have even missed some calls on my cell phone when i was litsening music on these
.I think you should go for it or you can wait for M1 to come in stock at pristine note.Have a look at these two threads if you are interested in E30

Why not the soundmagic iems?
The E30 seems to be good for your needs.
Haven't read many reviews on the s3, but its elder sibling the S4 are known to have an issue with sibilance.

With my nokia 5800 the presentation was quite harsh. Not that you will realize it but only in comparison to other players.

Hi
Since beginning I have indilged myself with lots of chinese below Rs 500 , below standard earphones.But now I want to buy a keeper. I stay in Kolkata so as Kolkatans know we are limited by availability in our choices . i mainly listen to mp3s in dell laptop/ Samsung Galaxy s phone . I like very slow lounge / chillout/ downtempo music , no rock/ metal.Please suggest me good quality IEM with best sound / bass / surround effects etc below Rs 4000/-
Thanks

For your requirements, I feel the Brainwavz M3 will be perfect.
You don't have many options in that price range here in India. But for you the M3 would be great.
Pristinenote will be restocking them soon. They quote a time of 2-3 days to get their stock.
Keep checking this incase they restock the M3. Pristine Note, Shop audio, headphones, amplifier, DAC, hifi, mp3, audiophile products online store India

Hey! It's the first time I'm putting in so much thought to buying a good earphone. I've been using Sony MDR EX50 for more than a year now and have been fairly happy using it to listen to music on my phone and the laptop. After a lot of review-searching, I've decided on Soundmagic E30 which has great reviews from everyone, fits nicely within my budget and is easily available online. I just have a few questions about these.
The music I listen to is mostly western classical (symphonies, strings and piano concertos or solos) and Indian classical (mostly vocal). Apart from that, I casually listen to rock, electronic and fusion while traveling, for fun. I was satisfied with the Sony MDR EX50 for casual listening but lately with classical music I've started craving for a better soundstage and instrument separation. I like bass but not the rumbling boomy kind, I prefer a more tighter and deep bass with a thump. Will the E30 satisfy me with the soundstage, instrument separation and bass? Also, will it work well for more casual listening and be good for movies on the laptop, too? I basically want better sound quality and a bit of versatility. I know they, being budget IEMs, won't be as great as the more expensive ones but considering I come from consumer-level earphones and this is my first good IEM, I wanna know if they'll definitely give me a different listening experience than the sound quality I've been used to all these years. Reading the reviews, I have great expectations from these.
I'm thinking of getting them from homeshop18.com for Rs1800. The ebay listing by Ishank.Gulati has sold out. Flipkart has them for Rs1985. They have a 1yr warranty, don't they, so in case something goes wrong, will it be easier to deal with homeshop18 or flipkart?
Too bad that Pristine Note doesn't have the Brainwavz in stock or I could've checked them out too. I live 15minutes away from their office in Belapur. Other in-ears available within my budget are the a-Jays three but I don't think they compare with the E30, do they? Just clearing it up before I click the buy button for SM E30.
