Review on SoundMAGIC E11BT Pink Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones: IPX5 Waterproof, 48Hrs Nonstop Playback for Outdoor Sports and Gym by Jacqueline Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great all round headphones, works well with the iPhone, a silly design flaw

SoundMAGIC E11BT Headphones: These are quality in-ear headphones that meet my specific criteria and I've been very satisfied with them for over a year, except for one perfunctory but annoying question (see the last point in the CONS section). PROS: 1. Easy to set up and use with my iPhone, iPad and MacBook.2. Very comfortable (comes with extra ear tips for a better fit) 3. Reasonable price4. Great battery life (Seriously, battery life is impressive!) 5. Very good sound quality6. Wired earphones are great for avoiding loss during breaks and tangle-free thanks to the flexible plastic neckband.7. The magnets help them connect when not in use - really handy on a plane when the headset is in standby mode. CONS: 1. No wireless charging (not critical for me)2. Annoying flashing light on the control panel when switching on - a nuisance in bed at night.3. The carrying case is very simple and inconvenient. I bought a small zip case separately for $6-74. The design flaw is that the thin silicone strip covering the control buttons falls off easily so I ended up losing it. This leaves the panel exposed so you can see a piece of white plastic on the side of your neck. This makes the headset cheap and amplifies the annoying flashing light more conspicuously. The manufacturer said they couldn't supply a replacement part, so I'm deducting a star because it's just stupid design and poor product support (although I applaud them for replying to my email). All in all, this is a great purchase. I just hope they improve the silicon controller design.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Can do harm
