MEE audio - X1, In-Ear, Sports Headphones, with Mic and Remote, Sweatproof (IPx5) - Grey/Black EP-X1-GYBK

I had recently gone through several headphones, in as many weeks, all promising more than they delivered, so I expected this pair to be no different. I was wrong.This review is based on the fact that I am female with average sized ears. I use them for power walking and jogging. I also sweat a lot. They are used almost every day - heavy use.VisualThey look and feel of good quality and are well made. The cord is robust and the ends for connection are rigid, a necessity for an active wearer.FitThey come with several in-ear fittings. I was able to find a set that are a perfect fit for me. This is important as they fit like earplugs and form a seal, so too big and it is uncomfortable, but too small and no seal is formed.When well fitted, it blocks out sound like a pair of earplugs (NRR 20-25 DB), that is when no music is playing. However, because they fit like earplugs, if you speak or sing you get that horrible internal sound of your voice - stick your fingers in your ear and speak to see what I mean.To put them in takes a little getting used to as you have to hold the ear piece in your ear and then rotate forward until it sits in the ear like a hearing aid with the wire facing up and forward. The wire is memory, so can be shaped to hang of the earlobe for added stability. It took me about a week of doing it every day to get used to it. Now I can do it in no time at all and it STAYS PUT!(Note - vigorous movement of the head makes it seem loose, but wearing a skull or baseball cap or sweatband fixes this minor irritation and the headphones never actually came out).ComfortI wear glasses, so the wire sits on the arms. However, I have not had any ear pain, like I normally would with this type of ear hanging sports headphone.I also have none of the transmission of sound through the wiring when it rubs on my clothing.Sound QualityWhen I first got them, I did feel the sound was not as loud as my old pair, but it was not a problem. Now that I have had them a few weeks and they are 'burnt in' (I think that is the term), the sound is much better. In fact, the bass is quite brilliant.Another noteworthy feature is that the difference between track volumes is no longer noticeable. I used to have to constantly adjust volume between tracks; some were too loud others too low.I will admit that as the headphones are in ear, the volume may initially seem lower than the outer ear variety, which I was used to. However, that close to my eardrums, I do not want anything too loud or capable of loud bursts as this could prove painful.Overall, I am very happy and I considering another pair as backup, because it is incredibly difficult to find a sports pair that work. Of course should they breakdown before their one year guarantee, I will report back.

As these are marketed for use during sports/exercise I wasn't expecting amazing sound. I didn't get it, but what I did get was good audio, great comfort and superb isolation at a decent price.AudioThese phones are solid in sound, the lows, mids and highs are balanced, nothing stands out as being exceptional but not bad either. Bass is good for a small set of earphones, it's punchy without being dramatic, loose without being sloppy. Mids are there, they're not lost but sometimes feel a little recessed and highs equally are present without overwhelming.Soundstage isn't great, nor would I expect it, average for the price range. You're never going to be amazed by the sound from these, but you won't be disappointed for the price either.ComfortThese are very comfortable owing to the over the ear design and 6 sets of buds to choose from. I chose the small triple flanged ones, they're comfortable, stay in place well and isolate external noise superbly.Design/StyleI chose the clear design, they look alright but you aren't going to fool anyone into thinking these are high end IEMs. Good 90 degree 3.5mm jack and cable looks solid enough (only time will tell).OverallThere are better sounding earphones in this price range, but many worse too. You are never going to wear these and think wow I heard that piece of music in a totally different way. What you get is solid audio, comfort on the move and value for money. I'd recommend them, particularly if earbuds dropping out frustrates you and you want solid sound whilst exercising and commuting.

*ANOTHER QUALITY MEE PRODUCT*I bought these I.E.M's for use in the studio & on stage, after being recomended them by a friend and for listening to music on a mp3 player.Nice packaging - which came with extra ear buds, so you can use the size suitable for your ears. they even come with instructions on how to wear them correctly!They also included a strong zipped carry box - to store the I.E.M.s (& extra ear buds) when not in use.They fit perfet and are instantly comfy to wear.The signal is fantastic! With a nice clean, warm over all response. (Which is as good as the m6 pro version.)The signal is crisp and clear - on the top end , mid range and bottom end.a nice flat response - so I could hear songs how they were meant to sound like, when recorded.(simular to listening through a pair of BEYERDYNAMIC DT100's)I've used them in band practice and i was blown away with the quality!Brilliant when it comes to sound isolation -they were perfect for the job and cant wait to test them on stage.I've also been listening to music on a mp3 player and the sound is againt fantastic.I am really pleased with these I.E.M's.over all they are -*Brilliant !*Great over-all sound.*Comfy to wear & dont keep falling out.*A bargain- great price!The only SLIGHT problem is the length of the cable- its perfect for use with a mp3 player in your pocket - or attatched to wireless device.But not long enough to use in the studio as monitors when recording .I will be buying more of these - no question!I would highly recomend any one buy these.whether its just for listening to your mp3 player (or cassettes on your walkman) - or for "profesional" use as a musicianDefinitely a quality product !

I chose the clear version of the M6 to make my earpiece almost invisible on camera, which was also helped by the over ear Memory Wire feature and the sliding clip behind my head. I needed to hear audio cues from the rough edit of the video and adjust my pace while recording on camera commentary from the teleprompter. The MEE M-6 did a great job of isolating the sound so that my lavalier microphone did not pick up any of the cue sounds. Excellent quality at an unbeatable price.

Excelente qualidade do fone, ótimo som, designer lindíssimo, case compacta. Super recomendo.

Buena calidad de sonido y muy cómodos.

Le ho provate per qualche minuto per verificare la qualità del suono, in modo particolare per i bassi, e posso affermare che la qualità è molto soddisfacente. Sono comode ma non ci ho fatto ancora attività sportiva, per cui non posso esprimermi sulla tenuta al sudore.

Compré el modelo M6CL-MEE, que es con cable y sin micrófono, porque quiero usarlo como monitor personal para ensayo, en escenario y también para escuchar música en el transporte público.Me gustó mucho la calidad del sonido. Antes había usado un par de audífonos intraurales y no me gustaban porque resonaba mucho el bajo. En los Mee el sonido es bastante más balanceado, sí se percibe un refuerzo de bajo pero es suficientemente sutil para ser agradable.El empaque se ve extremadamente sofisticado para el precio, y se incluyen seis pares de adaptadores intraoculares de silicón, que son tres sencillos, uno de dos capas y dos de tres capas, para adaptarse a diferentes tallas. Además se incluye también un pequeño estuche para guardarlos.El par cableado no lo recomendaría para hacer ejercicio porque el cable no es muy blando, entonces tiende a permanecer torcido y se atora con facilidad en objetos alrededor. Además, el loop de cable sobre la oreja me lastima si los uso para caminar o correr, pero si estoy quieto no tengo problemas, especialmente con la parte intraural, es bastante cómoda.En general, y para concluir, me parece un producto de excelente calidad y precio.
