Powerful pleasent music in a premium package

Pros:1)simple minimalistic design with a premium flair, lightweight too.
2)very comfortable in ear experience,decent noise cancelation, continuous use doesnt stress you out.
3)sound:i also own a pair of soundmagic e10c..so on using this the first time i found that it wasnt as powerful or base heavy...but then i started noticing the finer details that usually get covered up by the heavy base...dont get me wrong, this one is pretty powerful too,but it also has managed to strike a balance between richness,power and base leaving you with a very pleasant nd enjoyable music experience.
4)comparing it with other earphones in this price range,it really justifies its price tag...rha hasnt cut many corners.
Con: clarity while hearing certain songs is a bit lacking...it feels a little shrill at times...this could be becoz my buds dont perfectly match my ear.

Overall im really happy with this product.in a way rha has made all my songs a bit more delicious for my ears.

Do make sure you try out all the ear buds...choosing a perfect fitting bud is really important for a fulfilling experience

Great for audiophiles who want a flat sound, but won't appeal to a normal person or the bass lover

Ive been listening with it for over two weeks, roughly averaging 2 hours per day to give this review.
First part of the review is how it functions if you are an audiophile, a musician, singer, sound engineer or console operator. I didn't like how the bass guitar or the how kick drum feels powerless or with lesser presence in any genre except bollywood songs and EDM through this earphone.
It is like as if someone has turned down the bass, low mids and high mids in a console all the way down to give it an almost flat tone which you need for aggressive double pedalling to hear individual kicks. You can hear the double pedals in Messhugah's Bleed clearer than any studio grade headphones. Kick drum and snare sections of any djent band is clear but lacks punch. You will find the kick drums and snare and the bass guitar of any sub genres of rock and metal less appealing as
you will have to keep your ears super sharpened to hear the bass guitar, the kick drum and the snare in detail and with the desired definition.The ghost notes are very hard to differenciate.
The cymbals are crisp and precise in almost any genre. So collectively saying if you have an ear for low frequencies which mainly comprises of the snare, kick and bass guitar , you will get disappointed in any genre.
For jazz and blues and all of those who want detail of each instrument or vocals , this is just a thing from heaven.
You can hear each and every instrument in great detail and the collective cut of the low and mids aid in this. You feel as if you are in the studio with the singers and musicians.
One thing that deserves special mention is that if you are a Guitarist, then this is your gem.
Even the softest acoustic guitar strumming can be heard so wonderfully. The electric guitar effects and tones seem just like they come straight out of a tube amplifier. It's a bliss in every aspect.
So to sum it up, its not for the bass lover and common man.
Its for those who want music as a collective...

Broken headphone jack

Got these delivered three weeks ago.Headphones are good with balanced sound and rich bass which is not punchy at all.Unfortunately, it has been just three weeks and headphone's jack's gone for the toss while my phone fell down with headphones still attached. It doesn't work at all now and sadly it was accidental damage so cannot claim warranty. :-( :-(

Go for it if you have 2k

This is a good earphone I'd say. Recieved em yesterday (ofcourse delivery was lightning fast than I expected). The quality is mind-blowing (it's imported and the best if quality)
Now talking about the sound effects : highly well Balence with pretty nice and punchy good bass. (Idk why the guys are saying it's got less bass. Do they need only bass and no vocals or treble at all?).

I've owned cx180, cx275, a JBL ..... TBH this one has a step ahead of the sound of cx275 (which is god like) and the build quality is the best! There is also a clip provided along with carry pouch. I find it great use , even can clip the wire to my underwear to make sure it's not disturbing me.

Talking about wire quality:
It's not actually a plastic wire. It's some sort of fibre, which they claim tangle free. But it tangles pretty well if we'll mixed (like mixing sugar and water)
I don't know if they can withstand water splashes so.. can't know if they can be used in gym. Mic is wonderful.

Overall: ITS THE BEST AVAILABLE. GO FOR IT

We lost it when you wrote that you were gonna clip these to your underwear. Awesome honest and detailed review man. Quite funny as well. Put up a good picture on Instagram with the hashtag #headphonezone and we shall feature it on our handle :)

Crystal clear sound with adequate bass...Best

3yrs warranty with headphonezone as retailer is good....talking about buds they are best in class for listening each and every single instrument...its better than....momentum and Sony Xb one with 2k priceline Bass is a kinda of on cooler side not much as sony one but enough to make sounds whelming ...Build quality no doubt aluminium body ...what more can someone want .... maybe a full braided wire would done good rather than keeping it till the Y line ....and thank you headphone zone for guding me through this buds above E10C and CX275s....just go with it guys Its a premium brand

Excellent earplugs and too good service

Its the right earphones that I was looking for. Excellent build quality and balanced output of bass and treble. Build quality is simply superb and the service provided by headphone zone is unmatched. Will make all my future purchases from here only.

Satisfied with sound but not with package

Design, built quality, sound clarity, depth of detail everything is awesome love to listen song with this product..but one of the earbud (the medium size one) comes with package is missing. My ear only suits with medium size buds cuz of I didn't get I'm going sad. Having one of the best earphone but unable to taste the effects without proper earbud :( :)

Hey Mohamed! We are glad that you liked them. Usually the medium earbud is installed on your earphones and the other 2 sizes are there in the box. Please check if you can find in all 3 earbuds including the one present on the earphone and other two earbuds in the box and do inform us once you check it by replying your answer to this message.

NOT WORTH THE HYPE.

To start off the review, I am an audiophile who is mostly into bass and vocals/mids.I used Sennheiser CX-275s and SoundMagic E10C. .I actually used it for a week and burned around 50 hours or more which is enough to know the product's worth.So I guess am worth reviewing this product in all possible ways
PROS:
Only Looks.
CONS:
1. EAR BUDS:I donno if I got defective ear buds or it is what it is,but the ear buds keeps faling off while walking.I wonder no one mentioned this issue anywhere in reviews.You might wonder if I tried different sizes this issue is there for every size they gave.I never faced such issue from my prev headsets.
2.BASS:Just a lil Bass which is not acceptable at this price.And this produces some noise while using extreme bass preset which I didn't get while using other headsets I mentioned before.
3.MIDS:Mids are Okay.Sometimes Vocals are not clear under flat preset.
4.TREBLE:Am not treble lover But I still tried it with high treble preset and high treble song,it produces some cracking sounds at times.
Conclusion:
If you Bass Head then don't buy this,you will be utterly disappointed.Instead go for Sennheiser CX-275s(if you are not rough user) or Sony XB series(if you don't mind design) or SoundMagic E10C(trust me this gives better bass than RHA).if you feel they E10C is outdated go for E11C(which is actually best upgrade for E10C) which is successor of E10C.
BONUS:
Don't buy from HeadPhoneZone.in,the return policy is the worst thing ever.I kept return for this product and they will charge 15% of the product price.No other site would do like this.Instead buy from Amazon or Flipkart even if the price is higher than this site which provide much better return policies and stuff.
Thats's it from me.
Thanks,
Mani.

Sad to know that the product was not up to your expectation. I apologize for that. Most users of the RHA MA390 Universal are happy with its fabric braided cables, durable metal housings and sound quality. Mani we understand that buying headphones and earphones requires personally listening to them. The way in which music is heard, varies from person to person. Therefore, it is natural for a device to be absolutely loved by one and hated by another.

Our 7 Day Test Drive Returns and Exchange policy allows customers enough burn-in time to know if they are completely satisfied with their purchase. You won't find any other e-commerce website including Amazon or Flipkart marketplaces that allow for a headphone to be returned in case a customer does not like it.

Now coming to why we issue a store credit and not a refund under our 7 Day Test Drive Returns and Exchange policy is because we care that you end up with a headphone you actually like. We want to you to take the time you need to choose the best product suitable for you from our collection. Our Headphone Gurus are here to help you make the right choice. The store credit has no expiry date and hence it can be used anytime in the future.

The reason to deduct a 15% restocking and handling fee is because we receive an unsealed, used product which lowers its potential realizable value. We need to be able to restock and handle the product as an unboxed unit which is then resold to a customer at a discounted price. We also provide free pickups for all returned orders to try and make the process easier. We can schedule a call for you from our Headphone Guru once again so that they can help you out in choosing your preferable earphones. Mani we want you to find the best headphones and we're confident that you will find them with us to help you.

Hope you understand.
