SoundMAGIC PL30 headphones review

A good set of headphones as long as you like pop

Although the PL30's have switches to control the bass, they dont have the best bass around

<>

With cables that fit behind and over the ear, the SoundMAGIC's PL30s are pretty comfy, though their sound isolation isn't so complete.

Accessories include different sized tips, a case, a cable tidy and a clothes clip. Overall, the sound quality is fine, with clear detail.

There's a knob on each earbud to switch from 'clear bass' to 'deep bass', but the effect is negligible.

Bass isn't a strong point, so we wouldn't recommend it for rock, but its midrange is ideal for pop.

1. I bought some PL30's based on reviews on Head-fi forum and feel they are amazing value for money.

I actually find the bass response quite powerful, so I'm wondering how well they were sealing in the ear for this review. I've found that Comply Foam ear tips (T-400 model) help create a perfect seal.

I own a number of higher end IEMs and in my opinion the PL30 competes with earphones costing four times the price.
