Review on 🎧 Blue SoundMAGIC E80C In-Ear Headphone with Mic - Wired Earbuds for Audiophiles - Sound Isolating Headphones with Remote by Kristina Fleming

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap, tinny sound.

I've been looking for in-ear headphones for a long time looking for good sound quality at a reasonable price. I am interested in replacing a pair of Bose SoundSport headphones that I have owned for many years and have held up well but are showing wear. Compared to Bose, these SoundDesign headphones are just awful. Their frequency response is tuned for high frequencies, giving them an extremely tinny, muffled, cheap sound that makes me feel like I'm in an empty hallway. They hum and have trouble identifying multiple sound sources, whether listening to jazz, acoustic, or rock. I have tried B&O headphones and they are no better. Anyone who says they have a good "soundstage" doesn't know what a rich, warm, enveloping sound is possible. Even my stock Apple headphones offer much better sound quality, but I don't like that they pop out of my ears and don't have a built-in mic. In general, I was very disappointed, but I learned a lesson - you get what you pay for, and decent sound for $50-$150 seems out of reach.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Not sure
