I bought ES 18 after I lost my sennheiser CX-180( the best earphones under Rs.1000) and I am pretty amazed that these are far far better than CX-180 in all aspects. The design of these earphones is really great as compared to the boring design of CX-180. The bass of ES-18 is breathtaking sometimes and the noise cancellation and the sound quality is amazing. Plus you get extra pair of earbuds in different sizes. The one thing which is of concern is that warranty of soundmagic is of 1 yr while warranty of cx-180 is of 2 years but these are available at almost half price of that of CX-180 and the performance if far better than CX-180 so dont worry and go for it.
