Guys, last year in Oct 2011 i bought a SOUNDAMAGIC PL-11 from eBay, and now no sound is coming from left bud. :( Is there any warranty covers on these earphones? suggest me any cheap & best earphone with good bass.

I'm planning to buy this earphone, just check its spec. :)

check out soundmagic ES18 for ~425 on indiatimes shopping.best vfm earphones in this range & according to some reviews have very close performance to much costlier E10.

don't try to open it....first check whether servicing is provided by Sound Magic..I heard that they give new pair of sets in warranty.

last option wud be to try opening it yourself...its not sealed its glued from inside with just one drop of glue...

It is under warranty.
Contact the seller from whom you have purchased. He can give you info about service center (if there is any).

lost my bill, don't remember that its under warranty or not. Its 10month old. By d what action you took? I've ordered a above earphone finally from shopclues. Now m never going to buy expensive earphones. Chinese are best at low cost. But i think soundmagic is also a chinese brand. :eek:

clarity is good, plastic body... not like soundmagic.. dont know how long it will go. but at this price sound quality is really best, loud n clear w/o distortion. :)

Just tell me any song with good bit-rate and bass so can i test clarity & bass :)
