FANTASTIC FIDELITY!

I'm rarely inspired to write a review, so you can be sure that these earbuds are an extraordinary product. I listen mainly to classical music, so I want to hear exactly what the recording artists have created, and to my ears these amazingly accurate buds do just that, without any unwanted boost to the bass, along with what I think is perfect fidelity to the recording throughout the entire orchestral and vocal range. I don't notice the least distortion at my most comfortable volume, which is loud enough for me to hear the softest details. These buds have now replaced my favorite and somewhat expensive over-the-ear headphones, and they're so light l sometimes even forget that they're in my ears. Buy these earbuds—you'll never find a better set at this price or any other. One caution: I put on and take off these buds several times a day. Because of that repeated stress, I soon damaged one of the cords by constantly bending and then almost totally unbending the bit that curves over the ear and holds the buds in place. So I switched to the second set of cords (another incredible plus) and have been careful when I take them off not to unbend the the plastic "curves" any more than necessary, just enough to remove them from my ears — they remain curved even when off my ears. I've been doing it this way for the last 10 months and the plastic sleeves remain in great shape.

One of the best $300 IEM (that costs $50)

I have owned and auditioned many other mid-range IEM and M6 Pro 2nd Gen is the best IEM I have heard so far, regardless the price. I have listened to 1st gen M6 during the trip in Japan. Its upper mid and lower treble got out of control, causing harsh sound in the vocal. However, I noticed that the bass and mid-treble is quite nice. I looked up on rtings.com to see 1st gen M6 reviews and they basically confirmed it. With that being said, when I saw the promo FR graph for M6 2nd gen, I knew M6 2nd would address the problems that the 1st gen had. And lo and behold, it did. Listening to M6 Pro is a joy. The bass is deep, punchy, yet decently light and not bloated. The mid/vocal is slightly pushed back for a little bit, but it is not too bad. It is pretty standard for a V-shaped mid. The treble is very nice. It is neither recessed nor sibilant. The treble of M6 will not cause fatigue for a long listening session or lack of initial excitement. Comparisons: Mee P1/PX: P1 has better soundstage, musical instrument separation than M6 and is among the best I've heard in those regards. However, it lacks the bass that prevents itself from being my go-to everyday IEM. Listening to vocal and orchestral music is a joy with P1 though. Mee P2: My being favorite for a while, but I always yearn for slightly more bass and slightly less treble when listening to this. M6 is the answer for what I wish I could change about Mee P2. iBasso IT01: My current favorite IEM. The bass has more slam, the mid is slightly more forward, and the treble is done very well, with slightly less mid-treble and more upper-treble compared to M6. My issue with IT01 is that it is really bulky and none of the ear tips that fit wells, has good isolation. It is a chore to wear this as it feels bulky. It is a constant reminder that you are wearing a pair of IEM. Massdrop Plus: The "reference" sound, or so they say. I think that MD+ has done best is it linear and elevated bass. The "reference" mid (following Harman's target response) curve makes vocal too forward to me as if the vocal is not in the center of the band anymore, but rather in front of that band, blocking the view for the rest of the member. I am not used to this vocal forwardness. The treble is almost too recessed for the sake of eliminating sibilance. I'd love this MD+ if it has less mid and more treble. Too bad. I really want it to be the best IEM. But I have to honest with myself. Other IEMs that I tried: Fiio F9 Pro: The 8khz peak. Nope. Good product as a whole with presentation and accessories. The sound is quite harsh (I assume the non-Pro is even worse). RHA MA750i: I don't have these anymore but I remembered it being very V-shaped. Very bassy and bright. Non-detachable, flimsy cable. 1More Triple: decent but the vocal, though having the warmth, lacks detail. Undetachable (albeit durable feeling) cable. I don't like M6 Pro cable. They are very spongy and they use 2mm DC connector so there is no aftermarket cable that I can replace. But at least the cable is replaceable and it is quite durable. Very spongy and I dislike the memory wire. For a $50, I can take it I suppose. I have no financial gain for writing this review.

Audiophile Sound on a Tight Budget

The only thing I care about is the sound. That's all I'm going to talk about. These are $50 in-ear monitors, not $1,300 8-driver Jerry Harvey destroyers. I've owned some killer IEMs from Shure, UE, Westone, Etymotic, AKG, etc. These are surprisingly good, especially for this price point. I'm not a basshead but who doesn't like thumping bass that's tight, not bloated or wooly. The bass is tight, quick and articulate. The clarity is stunning. The highs are sweet without being grating. I don't like veiled treble. I want to hear the siss of percussion. I want to hear the slight echo of feedback off a guitar. I want it clean but I also want it to sound live. I can always EQ a frequency band I want to enhance, but I want it to sound good flat. The isolation is good. With these sealed in, I'm in a bubble. Everything outside of it is pretty much a silent movie. That doesn't mean I wouldn't hear a bomb go off - or the rumble of a subway train - but the passive noise cancellation is more than ample. These are not open earbuds or Grados, etc. I can't get enough of the clarity. I'm old school, so as I listen to Rush's "Tom Sawyer," I'm reminded of the slight reverb in the vocals. I'm slightly blown away by how crisp it all sounds. I've got bass, keyboards, lead guitars and drums all combined in a very busy recording, each occupying its individual space, each articulate and separable, not sonic mud. There are no losers in this mix. Switch to Flo Rida's "Low" and it's club-mix throbbing, without sounding veiled. The bass is really "low" - even for headphones not marketed to bassheads. It's the track, but these IEMS handle it effortlessly. Switch to Pavarotti singing "Nessun Dorma!" and - in all candor - it's not as airy as the HD800, but it's flat, clean and crisp. The bass is gone. At the end, I did hear some tape hiss off the track. Switching to "Torna a Surriento," the bass is back, thanks to pizzicato on the string bass. It's surprising how it bursts in, when the plucking begins. Switch to "Shallow" off the Star is Born soundtrack. The acoustic guitar is dynamic, as is the violin that comes in with Lady GaGa. The piano is percussive and clean. You can hear both the strengths and imperfections of the recording. I saw the movie in Dolby Theater and I doubt any IEM can compete. Loudspeakers allow a spaciousness I've not heard in any IEM, and that experience made the hair go up on the back of my neck. Still, these sound surprising clean and "live" for IEMS. The electronic beat of Gessafelstein & The Weeknd on "Lost in the Fire" was a tight punch in the face. On "Sunflower," you can hear the stark contrast between the clarity of the vocals and the artificiality of that rhythm track. Same with "Secreto." Ironically, J. Cole's "MIDDLE CHILD," has more clarity, even if it uses artificial brass and a throbbing bass beat, which made me wonder how these little guys would handle jazz. If you turn it up (because it's a lot quieter and more subtle than "MIDDLE CHILD," Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" sounds refreshingly live and crisp, although it makes me yearn for my HD800 - or even my LCD2 - before I sold them off. It may be asking too much for real air in an IEM but at least these provide ample grumble and snappy kickbass, snare drum and high-hat for something shoved this far into my head. If I might add a word of caution, these little guys will seriously tempt you to (Oh, that bass plucking is delicious) break the bank and either take a ride on the best or invest in circumaurals and an amp. I got them so I could have something decent in my pocket - while working out or on the move - without breaking the bank. Best fifty bucks I ever spent.

Comfortable and complete

Note: Fairly initial impressions. (I've only worn these for about 60hrs over the course of a week.) tl;dr version: ... it's in the tagline. I have nothing negative to say about these IEMs. This is not a "5-stars at this $50 price-point" score; I'd still give it 5-stars if it cost twice as much. Adjustable comfort "for days" (or at least 12 hours in one go), blocks out the world, reproduces the sound completely and faithfully, and comes with a good number of accessories/options. Comfort: Probably the only pair of in-ear monitors I've comfortably worn for long hours without issues. The generous accessories pack includes a multitude of silicone tips (and also a "first one's free" pair of Comply branded foam inserts) so getting the right fitment in-ear is not an issue. When you couple that with the thin but soft memory wire to set it in place around your specific ear shape, there's no way anything else can come close to being this secure and comfortable. Motorcycle note: These monitors do not protrude from your ears so work well under a helmet. The memory wire also helps to keep intermittent tugs from pulling them out while at speed. If you route them behind your back the large-ish bit of plastic that encompasses the wire intersection Y-join can dig into your back under a back protector and will get uncomfortable on rides beyond an hour. Sound: Very responsive and detailed. Faithful reproduction of all frequencies. If I am to nitpick I would say that JB's impression is spot-on accurate; there is a bit of "boom" to the bass. Not a whole lot; you can dial it out if that is your preference. Do not expect these to crush your skull with bass. That is not what they are intended to do. Rather, if you want to hear the music as it was intended to be heard you can't go wrong with this product. Motorcycle note: The memory foam Comply tips do a great job of blocking out noise so you don't have to crank your music to hear over the wind, thus saving your hearing. Think of them as earplugs that also happen to produce beautiful music. Accessories (see photo): There is nothing missing from the set. The included hard-case is nicely sized for protection and portability. The usual assortment of silicone tips are included; small, medium, large in both single flange tips and isolating (2 and 3 flange/baffle design). A bag of medium sized Comply tips are also included (my preferred tips). Musicians will appreciate the included 1/8" minijack to 1/4" stereo jack converter but I haven't had a reason to use that yet. Also included is a second cable (yes, this thing is modular) that contains an inline mic for calls (or piece-of-mind back-up cable if you somehow damage the other). By default, the unit ships with the non-mic enabled cable attached but changing them out isn't hard if you go that route. Lastly, there is a functional clip that makes short work of slack management for wire routing purposes. Misc final note: MEE didn't splash a garish logo on these so there's always that bonus if you don't like being a walking billboard.

Awesome ear monitors!

I purchased these to go with the Phenyx Pro UHF Stereo Wireless In Ear Audio Monitor System as the ear monitors that came with the setup weren't that comfortable and had a proclivity of coming out when singing. Besides, they really didn't sound that great to begin with. These monitors were the ticket to correcting that problem and for the money, you can't go wrong!! I have nothing but praise for these monitors and the clarity of every instrument and every vocal makes it a great monitor to use. I don't leave that many reviews, but this one certainly rated 5 stars in my book!! Update: I have used these in ear monitors for several shows now as I play for a living. I have used the SE112 Shure monitors before and these are every bit as good if not better than those! I couldn't believe for the price that I would get a product that functions as good as the MEE6 2nd Gen ear monitors. Every instrument is crystal clear and running the monitor system through an equalizer makes the experience that much better. As of yet, I have not found one thing bad about these monitors and I often recommend them to other bands and musicians that I come across. I haven't had to use the customer service yet, but I am sure that they are every bit as dependable and reliable as the monitors are. When I need to replace these, I'll upgrade to the MEE7's. I would really love to hear what those sound like in a live application. This is my unbiased review of these monitors and I certainly recommend them to any and everyone that plays music on stage, or off!

Detailed Review from a Audio Engineer / Musician / 1st Gen MEE M6 Pro owner

*** BUYER BEWARE - YOU WILL LIKELY NEED TO BUY ADDITIONAL EAR TIPS, MORE DETAILS BELOW *** I am a studio and live sound audio engineer, musician (both studio and live), and an owner of the 1st gen of the M6 Pros. I would consider myself an audiophile, as I also teach audio engineering as my primary job. I say these things by no way to toot my own horn, but these are my credentials of writing this review and may add some merit to what I am saying. I have put over 70+ hours of audio/listening on these before making this review, so my review comes from the perspective of these being fully broken in. The point of this review is to help those who are on the fence about these know exactly what they are getting, and whether or not they should invest their hard earned money into them. On a quick side note, it is important to note that the intention of in ear monitors (IEMs) is to give the user a studio/stage monitor in their ear, so the purpose of them is to give you accurate detail of your sound without exaggerating frequencies (no boomy bass, no bright highs, no pushed mids). This is different in principle than a typical ear bud/headphone, which are typically worn to enjoy music on the go in a slim and convenient package, where "big bass" and "high end sparkle" is a selling point. There seems to be a lot of marketing these days of companies calling their ear buds "IEMs" because it sounds cooler than ear buds, and while it may sound more fancy to the mass consumer, it makes it much more difficult for musicians/engineers/everyone to find the tool/product that they are actually looking for. I previously reviewed the 1st gen M6 Pros with a pretty glowing review, and while the 2nd gen are very different than the 1st gen, there is one thing that remains the same: These completely lack any depth and detail with standard silicon tips! With silicon tips the bass is incredibly weak, the mid-highs are subdued (and not in a musically pleasing way), and the overall sound is what you would expect from a $10 gas station ear buds. MEE is kind enough to supply a medium sized Comply T200 isolation without wax guard foam tip, however if you have a smaller ear canal or a large ear canal this will not do you any good and you will have to buy the proper fitting tip (around $15 on Amazon for 3 pairs). I have also gone through the process of testing out 4 different types of foam ear tips for these (Comply's Comfort, Isolation, Isolation with Wax Guard tips, and Shure's EABKF1 tip) and can say with confidence that the Comply Comfort is my favorite in comfort if I am going to have a 2+ hour long mix/playing session, however Comply's isolation without wax guard offer the best overall sound experience, the Shure's tip actually affects the highs drastically, making them more prominent, and any tip with the wax guard despite its marketing actually does negatively affect the overall sound too much to justify spending the extra money on them. If the included medium Comply T200 doesn't fit you it is absolutely imperative that you buy additional tips, because a proper seal around your ear canal is required for any in ear monitor, and these have that same requirement! Onto the product itself - It is important to know what you are wanting before making this purchase. If you are wanting the "Beats sound" (super heavy bass and exaggerated highs) then these are absolutely not for you. If you are wanting something "musical" that makes listening to music fun (like the Audeze iSINE) then these are also not for you. What these do offer you, however, is a very "flat" listening experience, which is EXACTLY what you want if you are on stage and needing to accurately hear what your instrument sounds like or in the studio needing to post-mix an album to get the levels right. The 1st gen M6 Pros had more exaggerated highs (in fact I had to use an EQ to bring them down to a naturally flat level), and the bass was full without being overly loud. These, on the other hand have toned the highs down considerably, giving this a much more "natural sound" experience, allowing you to hear every note being played without having to touch the EQ to turn down the highs and giving you a true "plug and play" experience. It also cuts back on the listening fatigue so that you can listen to your mix longer. However, this welcome change is not without some draw backs. Going from almost any in ear monitor or headphone really shows just how much "sparkle" is gone from the higher frequencies of these, almost to a fault that could make the untrained ear perceive that these are not as "loud" as other IEMs (which is false, these are just as loud). The sound staging on these are also different than their predecessor, and in some ways I do not understand how or why but just things to note. For example, reverb in general sounds absolutely amazing and very spacious on the 2nd gen M6 Pros, but then despite this the sound staging of these feels a bit less spacious as the separation of instruments is not as clear as the previous model (note that the instruments themselves sound clear and great, but they tend to sound more pushed together rather than seperated). Nothing ever sounds like it is right in front of you with these, however one can certainly tell when instruments have been panned left or right. Admittedly for the past year I have primarily been using triple driver IEMs that I have become quite fond of, so part of my criticisms are part of what one should expect from a single driver IEM. However, why would I still rate these at 5 stars one may wonder? Because these are a very rarely found tool for this price range. It is not often in the in ear monitor world that you will find this flat of response at this price range. Again, "flat" sound is NOT a bad thing, it is exactly what one should want if they're needing accurate information on what they're are mixing/playing without any post-EQ and other adjustments. This is incredibly helpful for keyboardists/guitarists to be able to accurately dial in the perfect tone, and it also helps singers to hear where they may be getting off pitch without the distractions of the other instruments interfering/competing with the higher frequencies. I am also a worship leader for our church, and after buying a pair 1 gen M6 Pros a couple years back I made to call to pick up a pair for the rest of the team as well, their performance for the price couldn't be beat (they sound so much better than the "industry standard" Shure SE215s). I would not hesitate to make the same move with the 2nd gens, especially since the team would no longer have to mess with the EQ for these to sound flat. So the last question to answer is if you own the 1st gen M6 Pros should you upgrade to the 2nd gen: I would say that if you are looking for an accurate representation of your stage/studio mix, then it is definitely worth the upgrade and you will not find a better value anywhere. However if you are looking for something that sounds more musical than the 1st gens, then these would not be your best bet (unless you personally enjoy listening to music that is flat and not exaggerated with coloration of warmth or darkness). The bottom line is that I would absolutely recommend these to my students and fellow musicians/engineers that are on a budget, for the price they are an incredible tool and offer such a high value, but again be aware that you are buying an in ear monitor and not something that will blow you away with bass.

I've bought approximately 28, 987, 412 items on ...

I've bought approximately 28,987,412 items on amazon yet have never felt compelled to write a review... til now. This is literally the 1st review I've ever written. I do it cause... MIND BLOWN. Get these now, do not hesitate. They came in the mail, I plugged them into my V30 with it's built in DAC, I set back, I relaxed to some quality music, and my mind was blown. I have spent 200+ on headphones and earbuds... yet none honestly compare. These combined with the included memory foam rock. Having said that, I am speaking strictly from a rock and roll perspective. I listened to the following bands and heard new nuances and clarity never heard before.... Pink Floyd, Muse, Black Keys, Glitch Mob, Radiohead, Phish, etc.... So your mileage may very.

Great, Pro-grade audio for a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend you grab a pair of these.

These are fantastic! I like these a bit more than the Bose QC20s for a few reasons. 1) They do an amazing job at noise isolation. Passive noise isolation that is on-par with Bose Active Noise Cancellation. 2) The audio sounds very rich, and very clear 3) They have a modular design that is very simple to use and you can even get a bluetooth cable for them. 4) Comes with standard cable, phone cable, 1/4 adapter, and a plethora of ear canal fittings, including comply-foam. 5) No DAC required. 6) Affordable! I've owned and used lots of really expensive pro-grade headphones in my time. Sony, Sennheisser, AKG, Shure, Pioneer, you name it.. These are obviously made to compete with/emulate the Shure studio/DJ earbuds, and they do a fantastic job at it. The passive isolation is better than the Bose active cancelling with filtering out external hi's, lows not as good as the Bose, but sound definition is better all around. They are IEMs so there is no bias towards (typically muddy) bass like most modern headphones, it's a clean flat eq response like you would want from monitors. Bass tones are warm, mids are defined, and Hi's are super crisp. Some of my favorite earbuds! MEE, you win! EDIT: I just got the bluetooth BTC1 adapter and it is very nice. Only gripes are that the connector on one side seems to come out enough to cause a cutout when my helmet strap presses against it from time to time though and the sound quality seems to be ever-so-slightly lower via bluetooth. UPDATE EDIT 9-24-2018: MEE warranty RMA'd the BTC1 cable for me. The first RMA unit they sent had really bad sound distortion so I RMA'd that right away. They sent me a second RMA, controls were fine but the sound distorted badly, so they sent me another and it is perfect. The customer service and RMA process was the one of the most painless I've ever had to deal with.

Motorcycle Riders buy these wired earbuds now!

These are by far the best wired ear buds I have worn while riding. The are comfortable and super clear! Make sure you use the black rubber ear tips to block out the wind and muffler noise! Feels like you are at a rock concert while sitting on your motorcycle seat!

M6 pro 2nd gen

I have been sceptical on ordering these because the generation 1 I heard was very harsh in the mid and highs. I've seen a few good reviews on these gen2 UPDATE: 9/18/2018 a got them this morning listened to them for 12 min. Overall I was very satisfied with the sound. However I kept them playing for 4 hours while I was working and they really got a good break in because now the sound is a lot better. I'd recommend these for someone who wants to hear the true sounds of any music. They are flat but still punchy with the bass. If your looking for bass headphone look else where these are made exactly what they had in mind when designing them, for a stage musician or someone who wants a clear flat sound with slightly elevated bass. Overall I compare these to Audio Technica M30x which sound amazing for $70
