Hi
Want to buy new earphones.

Was going through the threads of experts and just wanted to know why the Sennheiser CX 180 has been left out completely? Is Sound Magic better than Sennheiser and other brands?

Flipkart is offering Sennheiser CX 180 at Rs. 842. Is it not worth?

I am waiting guys! :wave:

Will also like to know about the TekFusion TwinWoofers.

Budget is 1k at max.

At this value IMO Soundmagic ES18 is better & Cowon EM1 the best of lot.

Currently Soundmagic ES20 is getting rave reviews but no idea about it.

Okay will order Cowon EM1. :)

But I am still curious as to why no one suggests or even mentions the faults in the CX 180. :confused::rolleyes:
