I am planning to buy new earphones for my mobile Xperia z1.
I am planning on buying Sony MDR XB-30EX (Rs1553/- in Flipkart)or sennheister CX180. So please suggest if there are any other earphones that are availablefor 1.5K and worth the mint..

stay away from MDR XB30EX. CX180 is better IMO. try getting soundmagic E10 if you can increase your budget. its selling for 1.7k @ snapdeal

Are you planning MDR XB-30EX to use while travelling in an open Bus/ train? Then think again. cause it creates a wind noise (so irritating) due to its peculiar shape. I have one of these and its ok for the indoors.

I think then XB-30 is not ffor me then.... I travel almost 10 days a month.... I have Philips SHE 9700 which is excellent and with noise isolation.... but the left bud loose and the magnet is hanging out... so i ahave to use it with care( No more music while sleeping :cry:).....

So how about Creative , Sennheister or Soundmagic aroung 1.5k?

Audio Technica ATH-CKP300 this would be fine if you can extend your budget to 1800.

Sorry.... But my budget is 1600 at max...... As I mentioned before I am a bit short of money....

What about soundmagic PL30... Is it good? It is around 1550 in Flipkart.... Soundmagic E30 is too pricey....What is the difference between them and Sony XB30 EX?:-?

Spend Less and get two in that case,the Cowon EM1 and the Sound Magic ES 18. Both are good and you will be covered for most kind of music.

That Sony is crap sounding so avoid them at any cost.

Thank you all...... Is cowton EM1 that good? Haven't heard about it...... Is it better than Sony MDR xb30-ex?

I have been using Philips SHE9700... It was very good with my old mobile.... But I am getting disturbance at high volumes in my new mobile.....Seems it is not able to capture the full music at that volume...

Does soundmagic E10 really come for 1.7k?? It is around 1.9-2.3k anywhere......:-(

Not bad as long as the source can keep up with it. It a bit forward sounding and easygoing than being analytic. Good buy over the wireless ones.
