New from HiFI Headphones are two new in-ear models from Chinese manufacturer SoundMAGIC – and they claim superb sound and bargain prices.
The entry-level model is the PL11 (pictured), which sells for £19.95, and is said to give "ultra deep bass frequencies, not normally associated with such small in-ear earphones.
"In addition the PL11 delivers a smooth mid range and clarity of treble notes for a listening experience that is truly high-fidelity."
The PL11 is an isolating design, and comes with three sets of silicon ear-tips to suit different-sized ears. Also supplied are a shirt-clip, cable wrap and travel pouch, and the headphones use a 9mm neodymium magnet and a 1.2m cable. They weight 10g.
Sitting above them is the £29.95 PL30, described as 'in-ear monitor' earphones. The company says the PL30 "provides a professional fit with the cable running over the ear to keep the earphones well attached on the ears and reduce cable microphonic noise to an absolute minimum."
More after the break
The technical specification is much the same as the PL11, but the PL30 additionally comes with a choice of single- and bi-flange eartips in three sizes, and over-ear cable guides.
On the way from SoundMAGIC is an even higher-end in-ear monitor design, the PL-50, which uses 6.4mm balanced armature drivers and comes with a wider range of ear inserts, and an on-ear design, the P20. More details on them when we have them.
