SoundMagic E11D vs Shure MV88-USBC: which should I buy?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
Buy the SoundMagic E11D for listening through USB-C earphones with a mic; choose the Shure MV88-USBC if you need a stereo condenser microphone for recording. They do different jobs, rather than competing directly.
The SoundMagic E11D (£40 best new price supplied) is a pair of isolating USB-C in-ear earphones with a mic. It’s the sensible choice if listening is your main priority and you also want a microphone included.
The Shure MV88-USBC (£145 best new price supplied) is a MOTIV stereo condenser microphone listed for iPhone and iPad. Choose it if your goal is recording stereo audio, not listening through earphones.
The practical call: buy for the job, not the price difference. Check compatibility with your exact device before ordering either, particularly its connection and any app requirements.
