MEE audio M6 Sport Wired Earbuds, Noise Isolating In Ear Headphones, Sweatproof Earphones for Running/Gym/Workouts with Dynamic Enhanced Bass Sound, Memory Wire Earhooks, 3.5mm Jack Plug (Clear)

To the point: EXCELLENT earbuds. My experience with this product has been great. For what it's worth, I'm a professional recording engineer. Does it make me an authority on all things audio? The answer is NO!If you're reading this review, then YOU are going to be the expert. Hearing for the most part is like fingerprints----everybody is different, though there is some common ground on what sounds "good." The sound quality is very well-balanced in these earbuds. Good bass, mids, and highs. They're going to be good for all around music listening during the workout, sitting at the airport----anywhere within reason. Critical listening? Would not be my first choice, but then these earbuds are not made for the studio. Don't expect the starship Enterprise when flying a paper airplane.Don't expect to tune the loud outside world out----go to Bose for noise canceling. These buds are touted as, NOISE ISOLATING. I personally feel this is a catch phrase to make the consumer look twice, but I can tell you as long as you seat these earbuds with the right fit of the several choices of supplied tips, you're going to find that the "isolating" quality is fairly good at moderate volume levels, and even better when cranked up----no brainer there, but keep in mind ear damage.I find these buds to be quite comfortable with long periods of wear, both in and out of the ear. The '"memory" loop that goes around your ear isn't spot on, but good enough to be "worn" in with only minor adjustments every so often, and stay in place with a lot of movement - jogging, biking, and other similar activities.The case is a nice touch and is not junk. I believe, as with most things, if you take just some obvious care i.e. use the case, don't wad the buds up, don't get them wet, etc, these will last a long time and deliver good, if not great performance for a long time.Bottom line----grab 'em. You can afford another pair if they get lost. At this price grab a couple of pairs. I did, and for my workouts, or tucked up under a helmet, these earbuds are a great deal that deliver great performance without paying a premium for much more expensive models.Hope this helps!

Summary:Over a year and a half of abuse: stuffed in pockets, backpacks, purses, jackets, and used daily in school, home, and physical outdoor summer work. Still work perfectly and the sound is just right for everyday use. If you want audiophile quality, by a pair of over ear phones and stay home. These, on the other hand, are perfect for real life.Detailed Review:I have been using these headphones nearly everyday since I got them in November of 2011. I used them at school whenever I was in the computer lab, which meant using and abusing the jack and wrapping/unwrapping them 5 or 6 times a day. Still in perfect working order. The clip I broke my stepping on it, but it worked great till then. I use them for on the computer at home for music, YouTube, or gaming. This isn't over-ear headphone quality sound, but with the proper fitting ear pieces, I can pick up fine nuances in the music and have just enough bass to fill out the sound, all while blocking out white background noise. The sound quality has greatly improved over time. They are very clear too; I can easily hear when a song is low bit rate. The volume doesn't have to be up very loud either to get nice sound. These are by no means ear protection, but I can wear ear muffs comfortably over top of these when using power sanders at work. I use them for work in the summer, 3 or 4 days a week for 5 months in the Midwestern humidity. I work outside and had to drink 2 gallons of water a day just to keep up with the sweat. Trust me, sweat won't hurt these. I haven't had one problem with them in the entire time I've owned and used them. I lost a couple of the ear pieces just because I never used the case to transport them, but there are enough of varying sizes that I can just use a different pair. These are BY FAR the MOST COMFORTABLE earphones I've ever used. I can even fall asleep with them in and my ears aren't sore when I wake up. They NEVER have fallen out of my ears in the year and a half I've used them. The over ear design is genius because it takes a lot of stress off of your ear's cartilage in holding up normal ear buds. My ears never get sore anymore. I haven't found the angled plug to be a problem as it fits both of my iPod touch cases, one an otterbox commuter and the other a griffin survivor, my home PC, tablet, and every school computer I've used. The fit only takes a day or so to get used to. As long as you read the instructions, you'll be golden. Also, the cost to value ratio is unbelievable. I can use these at school and work and not worry about being out two weeks pay if I lose them or they get broken. Buy them.
