I had purchased the Sound Magic ES18 earphone after I had lost my Sennheiser one’s. And I would want to be honest that the Sennheiser earphones felt better and premium compared to the ES18(looks).
But seeing the fact that the ES18 costs less than the one’s I earlier had did not pinch me much.
When I plugged I the earphones and played my playlist all my doubts about the ES18 went away. These are brilliant performers, I am not that much of an audiophile, but can say that the ES18 provides a perfect mix of bass and treble to satisfy your everyday music needs. Go ahead and get it, you wont be disappointed.
