SoundMagic E80D Wired Headphones With In-Built Hi-Res DAC
The E80D wired headphones from SoundMagic are compatible with various devices, including the latest iPhones, and support high-res audio playback.
With the 3.5mm audio jack becoming less common in mobile devices, SoundMagic has adapted to the trend by introducing a USB-C connector. This widely-used connector, now even featured on the new iPhone 15 series, makes it easy to use the E80D with a variety of devices, including computers and laptops.
The 10mm neodymium magnetic moving coil drivers inside have been redesigned, with the new drivers being said to deliver engaging, dynamic and enjoyable audio with whatever source the headphones are paired with.
The E80D is equipped with a built-in DAC chip, which supports high-res audio playback up to 24-bit / 96kHz. This means that the E80D is not only an affordable option but also a high-quality one, especially for those who want to fully enjoy Apple Music's High-Resolution Lossless tracks.
The headphones use a silver-plated copper cable similar to the one used in the E11 headphones. SoundMagic claims that the material will “effectively reduce the loss of signal quality and obtain high-resolution sound levels.”
The cable includes a microphone module for voice calls and three control buttons for music control and voice assistant activation.
Available in Gunmetal, the SoundMagic E80D is priced at $45.99 USD.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
