Hi all

Need a IEM under low budget. My SoundMagic E10 just died and warranty is also over. I was a long time user of PL21 and then E10. I would have gote10again but it is now priced 2200(When i bought it was 1500:-?) and I am on tight budget.

So thinking about ES18, but also thinking about changing the brand. Found out Sennheiser CX 180 which is similarly priced. But no idea about sound quality. So can anyone tell which one is better.

So I got 3 Votes for EM1 and 2 for ES18.It is going to be tough decision.
I am Sound Magic loyalist for last 3 year. Never tried any Cowon product.

the new batch of ES18 seems to have a few complains. i replaced my 2012 ES18 and the new one (2014) have a slight hissing sound when paired with pc/laptop. just confirm from more members before going for ES18. didn't do any burn as after 40-50hrs, the noise should have been gone but unfortunately it didn't.

The hissing sound maybe the problem with your unit.

Did somebody else had same problem??

Maybe I should go with COWON EM1,build quality seems better in some review.

I recommend you to get one with mic if you are Phone user!

Sound quality is excellent!
Tangle free cables!
Good Bass!
Superb Build Quality!

They are on par with my EarPods in terms of sound quality!

Is Cowon EM1 with mic is supported by Galaxy Grand2. I earlier had Xperia Pro which doesn't support lots of Earphone with Mic.

Most droids supported, I vaguely remember s3 user using it not sure though.

Visit Cowon india page & ask question in chat section for clarification.

If ready to shell 2k then the new T peos models tank & popular are awesome buy.

Nehru Place definitely isn't a place for IEMs. There are some shops but then the prices are better online

It is supported on Galaxy Devices in case any one wondering.
