Hey guys,
I know it very wierd question but should I buy ES18 (₹570) or wait for cowon EM1 to come on stock (₹670).

PS: I know it's in stock on Amazon but it's Lil cheaper @ flippant!

Note: EM1 without mic

EM1 and ES 18 almost same sound quality, I used both.But Cowon EM1 build is very good ,I'm using for past 1.5 years nothing happened even with rough use.
