Apple earpods upgrade

beachBOYken · 4 Feb 2015 at 17:43

Hi

Is there anything better out there than the apple earpods within a budget of about £30 or £40.

Do you need the remote? I was recommended SoundMAGIC E10's and they're pretty damn good (5* in What HIFI), especially for the money.

I think the E10S has a remote.

Not fussed about a remote but it would be a bonus.

I've never really been happy with the earpods fitting, they seem to feel lose in my ears. Them e10s look good and below my budget!

Cheers

Yeah, there are several size buds to go with them.

Obviously it's a little cheaper without the remote/mic.

Many thanks

Thumbs up for the Soundmagic E10's from me, great bang for your buck!

Cheers guys I went for the e10's not the e10S'es as I don't really need the remote.
Look forward to trying them out.

I always used to get the seinheisser cx300's, however since the design of the standard pods was updated, I can honestly say I'm quite happy with them.

Will do, not received them yet.

Good choice. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.

I'm always amazed by my E10s, got them set up with some comply tips and they're fantastic.

Bought the e10s yesterday, today got an email from richer sounds saying the e10s with remote is reduced to £29. Dilemma. Can I return the e10s?!

Edit, yup, after a quick tweet asking they said sure no probs. wonderful sounding earphones compared to my ultimate ears.

Been using my E10s for about a year now and still impressed by them, and I love the cable that just cannot get tangled up no matter how badly I stuff them in my pocket.

Is that in store only? They are still showing as £40 on their site.

Agree on the Soundmagic e- range. Love my e30s!

beachBOYken · 14 Feb 2015 at 18:42

OK I have giving my e10s a go and I'm very pleased. Compared to my apple earpods the e10s are only slightly better in Sq, but I would say they fit better and I prefer the cable as it doesn't tangle like someone mentioned above.

Overall I'm very pleased!

By the way what are comply tips?

Thanks
