Thanks... me too found out that.
BTW e30 has enuf bass??

How about CX180/PL11/21/PL30 etc..
need suggestion urgent.

im no basshead but it has everything that i wanted,so i guess you wont be satisfied with it.Im not much of a reviewer nor i have enough experience but i have seen people suggesting Vsonic gr02 bass edition selling around 2.5 k(i think it has a revised version called Vsd or something)
SM e10 also has been said to have good bass but recent price increase made it around 2k INR.
I hope someone who has good knowledge on pl11/30 will answer you soon.

Nice to know...
I'm no bass head either...
I saw e10 for 1.7k on FK so may be cheaper in Nehru Place.
I can't wait anymore already there(E10 else will settle for cheap ES18)

E10 unavailable with SMC so settled for ES18.(Good so far, let's see after burn-in )

Got my Soundmagic ES18 today. My first impression is it lacks the bass which my EP630 had.

 

[maverick121]

I had a Sound Magic es-18,well it was stolen ,yep STOLEN

The earphone was pretty good,nice bass.It is available for around 700INR Today.But i had bought it for 630INR Earlier.
Im using this earphone for HTC Desire SV.The only issue is that i hear a small humming which is common in HTC Desire(when no music is playing,when the earphone is powered on) i have the issue with my Philips SHE Earphone but the buzz is much lesser.

I dont think switching earphone will change the problem.Is there a better alternative to ES-18 for IS CREATIVE EP 600 better?

i want to buy balanced IEMs with good bass to use with my phone to listen to music only, my budget is 500-700 INR MAX and i was thinking of getting Sound magic ES18. Are these good? Any other options in this price range?

how is the bass on this? i used my friend's Seinheiser CX 400 2 which costs around 4k and i felt that they are too bassy but they sound really good...also if these are considerably better than es 18 then i will go for them....currently using Phillips SHP 2000 with my pc and I am very satisfied with them.....

If you are coming from the ES 18, it will be a huge upgrade in terms of quality... The bass is clean but not overbearing!!!

Yes you can listen to it as it burns in or you can let it burn by the help of your phone or PC over night completing burn in over night while downloading stuff on pc is how i do it .... burn in time like 50 hr can be easily achieve with in 3 or 4 days burn-in like this. These headphones are till in very good condition even after 3 years of usage & are my primary headphone on my PC

Earpods,anyone?

Although I haven't heard the 1900 myself. But I think SHS390 is the best 500 bucks phones.
