Earphones Recommendation

    Hi guys,

    I have a budget of around €50 and was hoping for some suggestions. From doing some reading online, it looks like the SoundMagic E11C are a good set, but you may have other suggestions.

    Criteria I'm looking for:
    • In-ear 
    • Will be using mostly while exercising
    • Needs to have mic
    [*]



    That's it, I'm not fussy apart from that, I'm just looking for the best sound whilst being inclusive of the above.

    Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

    Hey Moneyman.

    Thanks for the post.

    The E11C are a good headphone, however they are currently out of stock and I have no ETA for more stock.

    There is the Sony MDREX650 coming in at 49 Euro.
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201019-sony-mdrex650-in-ear-mic-headphones.aspx

    Or the very good Sennheiser M2 in ear priced at 56.99 Euro.

    Let me know what you think.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I had those exact Sennheiser's a couple of years ago, and while the sound was decent, they were surprisingly quiet. I also had multiple issues with one earphone not working, and had to send them back twice to be repaired within the warranty period. The third time they broke, I didn't even bother sending them back to be repaired. So despite Sennheiser's good reputation, I'll be avoiding them.

    The Sony's are a bit old and have mixed reviews online. I will keep an eye out for a re-stock of the SoundMagic earphones. Cheers!

    Hi David,

    I see you have the Soul Byrd Beyerdynamic set in stock, any opinion on these? They seem to have good reviews online. Anything you could do on the price for a loyal customer? Bought a TV from you back in 2016 :)

    Also I would consider upping my budget to €100 if you felt a pair in stock were worth it.

    Hey MoneyMan.

    The Soul Byrd are also a good little headphone. The 64.99 Euro would be the best price on these.

    I personally haven't heard them but they sold well via the store.

    There is also the RHA 750i @ 79 Euro. I've heard some of the other RHA ones and they sound great. ( I could offer these at 73 Euro)
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201811-rha-ma750i-in-ear-mic-headphones.aspx

    Or even the Klipsch T5m comin in at 84 Euro voted best inear headphone £50-£100 in What HiFi
    (I could offer a better deal on these at 71 Euro) - (Very Low stock)
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204434-klipsch-t5m-wired-in-ear-mic-headphones.aspx

    I have little margin on headphone unfortunately for discount.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Kenny.

    Thanks Kenny.

    If I decide to go ahead with the Sound Byrd, can I pay in sterling? They're listed at 49.95 which works out cheaper than the € price.

    Hey Moneyman.

    Of course.

    You are free to pay in which ever currency works out cheapest for yourself.

    Hi Kenny;

    Piggybacking on this tread, is there a wireless pair youd recommend for running
