I had a Sound Magic es-18,well it was stolen :(,yep STOLEN

The earphone was pretty good,nice bass.It is available for around 700INR Today.But i had bought it for 630INR Earlier.
Im using this earphone for HTC Desire SV.The only issue is that i hear a small humming which is common in HTC Desire(when no music is playing,when the earphone is powered on) i have the issue with my Philips SHE Earphone but the buzz is much lesser.

I dont think switching earphone will change the problem.Is there a better alternative to ES-18 for IS CREATIVE EP 600 better?

Sorry for the late reply ......... I also own HTC explorer & Panasonic RP-HJE120E-K If that is what you meant by RPHJE But i did not hear any humming issue No changing earphone will not resolve the problem if the problem is from the source (Phone). Try using it with other source Phone mp3 player computer & observe what happens. Report it back for further discussion.
