Verdict

The SoundMagic PL11 is an entry-level, wired in-ear headphone featuring 9mm neodymium dynamic drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz–22kHz, and a low 12-ohm impedance that makes it easy to drive with smartphones. Characterised by a powerful, deep bass response and clear highs, it offers a wider stereo image and a lightweight 10g design with a 1.2m copper cable. Main pros include its durable metal housing, excellent price-to-performance ratio, and the inclusion of a leather pouch and cable clip for added value. However, notable cons include a slightly recessed mid-range and the absence of an integrated microphone for calls.
