I have received many requests on more information on the Emgeton E3C earphones. These earphones are made in the Czech Republic by Emgeton and are available on order on the internet via PayPal. Please however contact them to ascertain the postage costs to your location as the postage can be allot more then the earphone themselves.
They look very similar to the Philips SHE5910 in design and styling and in fact the concept of the earphones is the same as the the Philips. I do not know who first came out with the reversed driver earphone idea so will not and shall not comment on this aspect. I have both earphones so a comparisson between the two is straight forward. I will say that the Emgeton E3C's sound nothing at all like the Philips, the SHE5910's sound laid back, less articulate and less detailed when compared to the E3C which are lively, full of enegry and very musical
This time I have decided to adpot a review approach used by another Head-fi'er and friend - "ClieOS"
