There is no difference at all between the E11 & E11C apart from the inline microphone. Impedance & sensitivity are identical, as are the drivers. If you don't need the mic, then go with the E11 as there are fewer components in the signal path to affect performance.

Design

Fit

In-ear

The fit of the headphones.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
has a detachable cable
SoundMagic E11
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
Ingress Protection (IP) rating

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
can be folded
SoundMagic E11
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
has a tangle free cable
SoundMagic E11
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
travel bag is included
SoundMagic E11
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
has an open-back design
SoundMagic E11
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.

Sound quality

This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
impedance

42 Ohms

Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
has a neodymium magnet
SoundMagic E11
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.

Power

Battery life

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
charge time

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
Has USB Type-C
SoundMagic E11
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
has wireless charging
SoundMagic E11
It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
battery power

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
has a removable battery
SoundMagic E11
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

Connectivity

The connectivity type of the headphones.
has aptX Lossless
SoundMagic E11
aptX Lossless is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 16-bit/44.1kHz audio (at a maximum bit rate of 1200kbps). This codec provides CD-quality audio without any loss of data.

Features

These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
has ambient sound mode
SoundMagic E11
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
has in/on-ear detection
SoundMagic E11
Sensors can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life.
number of microphones

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
has a mute function
SoundMagic E11
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
can be used as a headset
SoundMagic E11
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
