amazon SoundMAGIC E80C reviews
As for accessories, I find the manufacturer is very generous: a traditional black box of soundmagic, 7 types of silicons tips (including tips available on the headset), 1 pair of common sponge tips, 1 clothespin, strange point is that the manufacturer offers 2 more types of adapters 1 for PC and 1 for phones for the purpose of being compatible with PC and smartphones sensitive with 3.5 jack.
Coming to the protagonist of today, the SoundMagic E80C headset designed according to me said it is still the same as the E80 series, which is different from the soundmagic E10C or E50c located on the back of the housing, I also find it very similar to the old SoundMagic ES11S headphones, so the design has the advantage of increasing the protection for the connection between the conductor and the housing but also has the disadvantage is not as beautiful and delicate as the two junior E10C and E50C.
Housing: in comparison with previous generations, the company has upgraded the material to be stronger, more beautiful, more durable but still very light, only 16g so it is quite comfortable to wear without heavy ears. In addition, the housing has up to 4 different colors so you can choose according to your personality including: red, yellow, black and blue.
Jack: designed L-shaped 120 degrees angle than the gold-plated conductor to ensure the most natural sound from the source.
Conductor: designed in a twisted shape wrapped with TPU leather, the inner structure is 400D Huang Dan Silk material that other audio manufacturers often use for durability to withstand the most influences determined by the external environment and physical agents.
Fit, comfortable to use, soundproof
Although it is provided with 8 types of tips, except for sponge tips, the remaining tips are quite hard so I feel a bit uncomfortable in the ear canal during use so to overcome this situation you can use Use sponge tips or you can buy additional pairs of spinfit that fit your ear canal at the headphone store.
About the soundproof of the E80C is excellent, although listening to music in noisy environments, but still clearly heard the music is not drowned out by outside noise. This is rare in the cheap headset line.
Mic quality, calling, music player control buttons
The play / stop control panel as well as the mic are located near the housing on the left hand side, in my opinion this is a minus point of the company because it is quite high so it is quite inconvenient for new users but if familiar with the buttons for a while there will be no problem. You can refer to how to control your music player in the following way
The mic quality is excellent due to its close proximity to the mouth so the quality of the call is unmistakable, the person on the other side of the microphone can still hear the voice despite the around noise, which is commendable control / mic layout.
Sound quality
The impedance is slightly higher than the SoundMagic E50C, at 64ohms compared to 51ohms, but with an in-ear device like this using a phone or music player is good enough.
As for the high range, this is probably the best sound range on the E80C, the immediate impression of the writer is that this range is very bright, can be said to be a lot brighter than the E50C, for anyone who is not familiar may see glare. After 50 hours, the burn-in was better, less glare, but still bright, but the control was better. The high range of SoundMagic E80C is true to the light, detail, and style. Thanks to this band makes E80C’s soundstage much wider than other headphones in the same price range and of course this treb strip is suitable for those who like Acoustic or Instrument.
In this article I will also compare with other similar price headphones such as Ostry KC06A and Audio Technica ATH IM50
E80C vs KC06A: Ostry has a more powerful mid-bass band, the sub-bass strip also pulls the tail more and has a more advanced mid range but is much more dry and sib than the E80C.
E80C vs ATH IM50: IM50 has more powerful bass, mid is much more advanced than Ostry but treble range is gentle compared to E80C, it is a heaven, that shows the soundstage of the E80C is much wider.
Advantages :
+ Design materials from quality metal
+ There are microphones compatible with smartphones including Iphone
+ Rich accessories, anti-tangled twisted rope
+ Quality bass strip, great treb strip
+ The best soundstage in the price range
Defect:
– Control button design is quite inconvenient
– Tips come hard, not soft
– Mid range slightly dry and back is not for people who like Vocal
– Sound quality is not for those who like light sound.
