Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Listeners consistently praise the E50's balanced, neutral sound signature. Multiple commenters chose the SoundMAGIC E50C specifically for its balanced-flat-neutral tone, comparing it favorably against Sony (too bass heavy), Sennheiser (poor build), Skull Candy (flimsy) and Bose (too expensive). Others simply state the earphones sound good or superb, with some suggesting that any negative sound experiences reported by others were likely due to a defective unit rather than a flaw in the design itself.

Some buyers report cable and durability problems. One user described the cable as made of hard, stiff rubber that sends loud resonating thump noises into the ears whenever it moves, particularly against a blouse with a metal zipper, calling it a dealbreaker. Another reported their pair broke after only two months of use and suggested alternative brands instead. A third commenter felt some construction details were not finished well enough.

Overall, buyers see the E50 as strong value for the price. Commenters frame the SoundMAGIC E50 series as a smart budget pick, with one calling the E50C the best option within their price range after comparing several bigger-name competitors, and another confirming it performed well overall within its price bracket after a week of testing. One commenter also noted the earphones felt well made in terms of build.
