Now, lets compare E11C to Final E3000C, which is a little more expensive but roughly in the same price range. E3000C has a minimalistic and sleek design, with a beautifully machined stainless steel body. Soundwise, E3000C has less and better-controlled bass, giving the impression of clearer mids and a more detailed higher end that results in a more tonally balanced and relaxed presentation. On the other hand, E11C, due to its bigger driver of 10mm compared to the 6.4mm driver of E3000c, is more dynamic.

The SoundMagic E11C’s outer design is structurally similar to the old E10’s. These are aluminium earpieces with large apertures and a little piece of silicone rubber where metal and cable meet. The metal casing of the E10 is sturdy and well made. With an almost perfect fit the bass is impressive, hard and precise. In this price range that could hardly be better." Technical Specifications

Their visual impact could not be more different, though. I have recommended the SoundMagic E10 to countless people over the years, but I have never liked their paint jobs much. The entry-level models have a brash two-tone design that will look, to some, juvenile.

Audio clarity is amazing and one can easily differentiate between the various instruments. At higher volumes sibilance is not observed which is a big strong point for E11C. Machined in one piece, the metal earphone body makes the E10 robust and ready for the rigours of everyday life, whatever you throw at them. These earphones are built to last. SoundMagic claims it is the only company to do it (and no, we can’t think of another) – which isn’t a bad thing to shout about.

Despite their bargain price, the SoundMAGIC E10C's are superbly built. Whereas most rivals would have plastic casings, the E10C's feature stylish metal ones. These are not only tough and durable but the metallic finish is stylish, too. A robust travel case is also included, keeping your headphones safe when not in use. The main characteristic of E11C is tonal balance, which is outstanding for a set of earphones costing that little. E10C was tonally balanced as well, but E11C has a more full-bodied and expressive presentation. The tuning is different in E11C: The bass has been increased, but in a soft way, without though sacrificing the mids and highs, so, the tonally balanced character of the set has been retained, but the presentation is more articulate. These earphones are one of the best available at the price if you like powerful and dominant bass. Fortunately, the rest of the sound doesn’t suffer too much as a result. SoundMagic tends to take an evolutionary approach to its in-ear headphones, with little tweaks over the years adding up to the honed design you see in the E80Cs.
