- The SoundMagic E80 noise-isolating in-ear headphones are the flagship model in SoundMagic's 'E' series - but are they any good? In this E80 review - I discuss design, comfort, sound quality & price.
Interested in buying the SoundMagic E80?

Nice to know that not everyone recommends the most expensive version of things.
indeed!
The Tech Chap which do you recommend? the e10s, or e50s?
nice review ! do you think my smartphone ( galaxy a5 2017 ) is enough to enjoy this ? cause they are 64ohm and im bit sceptical,thx
Did you give enough power to E80? It's a high impedance IEM, designed to work with a DAC( amp) . High impedence helps it create a very wide soundstage. It has a pretty neutral sound, which is what audiophiles prefer. It's not an IEM for people who prefer artificially bass boosted sound over natural sound. E80 tries to recreate the sound as it was recorded without manipulating bass as most of the entry level headphones do.
Use it with a lossless music player and have fun!! You would need to download lossless music. This is the best entry level audiophile IEM in this price range.
I HV both e10 and e80 , and I prefer e80 for the cleaner sound. e10 have very intimate soundstage with lots of bass. while e80 have wider soundstage and balanced sound. the difference in sound initially feel very less , but as we listen more will spot difference easily I feel.
In which bass is more e10 or 80 ??
Actually i own e11c sound quality is ok but bass is not that great
@@rajesh7321 It should be a defective piece then. I have come across such piece where sound is sharper with almost no bass. Get is exchanged in service centre.
Gr8 video... Thanks for the suggestion.. Could u also compare the e10c to e50c
These are high impedance (64 ohms) so they require a good amp to drive them, using them with most phones, they will end up sounding anemic. That's why soundmagic calls them audiophile iems you need some gear to drive them.
Giri Gagan Khoran what amp u used?
so are they not for mp3 Player usage? What would be a good player, to listen to music when in the city et cetera?
Thank you finally someone who understands the importance of driving a high ohm pair of IEMs. 64 ohms on non DAC non Amp smartphone does not cut it go get the E10s for that but if you got the power and balls to drive these babies get the E80 for sure!!
@@Leo-pr7ly External amp or an LG device
I've had my E10s for about 2 years and fuck they're great - just weird if you're watching films and that but for music, they're golden. For someone who breaks Phillip in-ear headphones a lot, they're pretty durable to me. No problem whatsoever but I lost them recently and I can't decide which to get next.
I'm looking to upgrade but don't really have a big budget - I wonder if I should get the same one. Ugh
People always rave about the E10. For me they were not great at all. The E30 were so much better and a lot more balanced! Not very durable but better in almost every way! E30s are fantastic!
I totally agree with you but alas my e30 cables became frayed. Just ordered the e80 but I wish the e30 was still available.
@@madrafboy ayo compadre! Don't do it! I've had about 7 pairs of e30s and a lot of heartbreak due to cables and soundmagic ditching the series! Do not buy earphones unless you can swap cables Lol. If you have a decent amp check out the moondrop SSP! They're inexpensive iems, that sound incredible but require a bit of power to drive at high volume :)
This review was indeed very helpful, I went ahead and picked up the E10 as I thing I'd like a punchy bass sound instead a flat balanced sound cleaner vocal sound. Thanks!
Do a review on the E11 C
Thanks for the review. Sound quality trumps controls.
Just picked these up for $36 on Amazon for my LG V35 and they sound great! They take advantage of the HiFi DAC in my phone, I need to test them with high quality files and more music but first impressions are solid, best earphones I've bought so far
I'm actually looking for an upgrade from my E10's, but for £70 for the in line mic version? And the E10's have better bass than them?
I'll wait for now.
What's your favourite brand of headphone?
The Tech Chap the soundmagic e10c 's
Sennheiser
1 more
Sony
Very good review. Liked!
Is this because the e80s have s higher ohm rating? Is that why you preferred the lower model? Thanks
Bro, you're using those 64 Ohm earphones with a Galaxy phone with Spotify?
Excuse me if that was only for showcasing purpose.
I was thinking that too, that phone definitely couldn't drive those properly so I hope he used something else to test them. They work great on my phone tho I need to use higher quality files
e50c's : amazing and crisp audio quality with a superb soundstage. NO BASS whatsoever, but I like a slight punch of bass and I think I'll go get the e10c now.
How do these compare to the E50s, if you've ever used them? I ordered the E50s a few days ago, and they should arrive in a couple of days. Keep up the incredible work! :)
+Ali Thanks Ali! I haven't had the chance to have a go with the E50S unfortunately! Let me know what you think when they arrive :)
How were/are they? I'm debating all of the e series now myself!
i got the e80s, probably wouldn't have went for it expect I had some credit card points to burn which reduced the price by $20 so I figured why not?.. they are really nice and sound so good but I also noticed the lack of bass.. one thing I dont understand it the build quality is nice everywhere except on the android or apple switch.. that part its made out of crappy looking molded plastic but, I get nice anodized aluminum on every other part of it.. it certainly doesnt take too much away from the earbuds themselves.. which are the fanciest I've ever had. I feel like I dont need to get anything better. soundmagic did a good job with these earbuds..
Doesn't sound like you understand the design of the E80s. They are a more balanced headphone. Not much of a V here. After burning them in, I found the sparkles of the highs, clarity of the mids, and punchy bass excellent. These sound better than my $300 pair of Sure reference IEM phones from 7 years ago.
theTerribleFamiliar which device you use to drive the e80? I am using an one plus 3t should I buy them because the impedance is too high at 60ohms . so I am leaning towards buying the e10 but I also want a near flat sound.
If you want a flat response, I don't think you can beat the E80s for the MSRP price. I have a number of different devices in my home studio where I use the E80s for a quick reference. When I take them out around town, I'm using this www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A8NU5CG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Good luck in your search!
Would you prefer the e80 or the Dunu Titan 5?
These headphones slip out of my ear all the time, especially while running. I'm quite happy with my comfortable EarPods (Apple). I haven't tested much other headphones so it's very interesting to watch your reviews! Tom I have a doubt, what's so special about Beats headphones?
Felipe try to change your silicone eartips to foam eartips.
Наушники SoundMAGIC E80 СУПЕР🕺👍
Which one is better? E10 or e11?
E11
I had the e10 e50 and now the e80. Better sound quality than the e10 and has almost the same bass I think. Compared to the e50 a small but noticeable difference with the quality and better bass than the e50. Unfortunately my e10 fell and it didn't work as good and my bunny bit my cable of the e50 lol
is taht the dell u2715h, when it is then we pretty much have the same monitor 'cause I have the dell u2515h :) btw nice vid
WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN E10c and e50s they both differ in price by 7 dollar in india 43$ foe e 50s i want to pair it with my fiio m3 dap.
I'd go for the e50S, they are a higher-up model
I have e80 and its more more better compare to my old e10. I plug it to lg v20 with Poweramp app
More better is incorrect, you can say too much
@The Soulkeeper hahaha ok I'm a spanish speaker, sorry
Still nothing beats Sennheiser cx275s , sound quality and price altogether. listen "Like a G6" on them and compare the bass and treble.
speak for yourself, the e10 are far better and superior sounding compared to cx 275s, I own both of them and the Sennheiser is lying in my trash can
I also have them both and E80 sound muffled compared to Sennheiser where the sound is much more crisp. TechChap said also the E80 are lacking in certain areas. But if you want to spend more on E80 please do so.
Me I said E10 not E80, get ur facts straight
Spandan Guha my 275s just broke off today and i am thinking of getting one of these actually
Senheiser cx 275 or soundmagic e10s ?
i have owned both of them. e10s sounds better to me. and its more durable. my 275s is no longer working.
Does it work on laptops/desktops?
yes
E10 sucks broke in just 2months.....I love jays series one plus,two,three,four,five...please review jays
+Abhishek Peter yeah i'll take a look at those!
+The Tech Chap TV thanks😊
