Our Verdict

Cowin E7 Wireless

Mixcder E9 Wireless

The Mixcder E9 Wireless are better headphones than the Cowin E7 Wireless. They are noticeably more comfortable, better built, and they offer a superior sound quality. The controls are also better, and the overall noise attenuation of the Mixcder is better than the Cowin. They also come with a nice hard case that protects the headphones better than the Cowin’s pouch. On the other hand, the Cowin offer more battery life and have NFC pairing, but that’s about it.
