MEE audio M6 PRO In Ear Monitor Headphones for Musicians, 2nd Gen Model With Upgraded Sound, Memory Wire Earhooks & Replaceable Cables, Noise Isolating Professional Earbuds, 2 Cords Included (Clear)

Just used these for the first time on my motorcycle (reason for buying them), worn for 3 hours. Full-face helmet (Bell MX9 Adventure MIPS, a fairly noisy helmet) on a DRZ400S. Mixture of 55-60 mph roads & slow dirt trails. Sound blocking [with included Comply memory tips]: Absolutely zero problems with wind noise, which was my biggest issue with certain foam plugs. Certain foamies left my ears ringing after the ride from wind noise even though I had put them in the proper way. Extremely happy these block the wind noise as I find the wind noise to be super distracting to the ride & makes it less enjoyable. These block all of it up until ~55 mph, than there's a little bit, but it's tolerable. My bike isn't loud, but these definitely dampen a lot of the engine & exhaust sound too. Honestly these probably would block a lot of environment noise, maybe you'd hear a loud horn, but I didn't hear much other environment noise on my ride, even at slow speeds. Could be a pro or con depending on your take on it. Volume: Didn't have to go super high on the volume, which is great. Even at 55-60 mph the sound was clear and never had to crank the volume to hear the music. If you have to turn it louder, you're not protecting your hearing. Sound quality: Pretty good. Really good, crisp mids. I was actually off the bike taking a break on the trails and heard some "new" interesting, subtle background parts on songs I've listened to a hundred times before. The bass leaves a little bit to be desired, I think some other reviews say the same. But it's not "thin" sounding, like really cheap earbuds, by any means. Overall I'm impressed. Take this with a grain of salt because some reviews said there's a break-in period and the sound gets better with time. Fit & comfort: Started to get a little irritating around the 3 hour mark, but nothing too bad, only took them out once in the 3 hours. I saw some people say they couldn't get a full-face helmet on with these, I had no issue of them falling out when putting the helmet on, you just have to be sure to "spread" the sides of the helmet as you're sliding it over your head (which is the proper way anyway). Even if I felt one a little out of place (there was no complete dislodges after putting the helmet on) I was able to reach up into the helmet from underneath and tweak them a bit. Taking the helmet off becomes a little bit painful as it tends to rip them right out of your ear, nothing too bad though. Durability: Obviously can't comment on this yet. Today wasn't hot at all and I wasn't sweating at all really, so I'm hoping they hold up to sweat. The only "negative" thing I have to say about these is that I wish that replacement Comply tips were cheaper than they are. I can see the ones I have getting nasty once the hotter weather comes. Overall these seem like a must have if you want to block wind & engine noise while also listening to some tunes. I don't leave reviews often but these are worth the money, if they hold up!

We have about 30 of these units at our church for our singers and musicians (rotation schedule). Have yet to have a unit fail. Sound great for the price. Overall fairly balanced sound for the price, maybe lacking a tiny bit in the high end, or there's a low end boost, I can't tell which. One problem you'll experience with in-ears (earbuds) in general - not necessarily isolated to this make and model - is a lack of clarity between sources due to too much bass/low end present in the signal, especially if you're listening in Mono. This is especially a problem in a live environment if your singers/musicians are using personal mixers for their earbuds. If your personal mixers are receiving sources straight from the pre-amps, with no EQ on each source, the low end buildup (proximity effect) on the vocals can seriously effect your ability to distinguish between sources. Make sure your personal mixers at least have a master EQ where you can reduce the low end. If you're running your in-ears from Front of House or Monitors, if your sources are Pre-fade or don't have much EQ on them, you may need to apply a master EQ on each mix. The only issues we had were related to the above - improper EQ'ing of our sources before sending them to the ears. We started running these earbuds from submixes on our Front of House console which were properly EQ'd and stereo-spaced-out, and that has significantly improved the ability of our singer to hear.

I purchased these based on a number of reviews for near budget in ear ear buds. I use them primarily on a motorcycle with a full face helmet. I also own Sennheiser over the ear ear phones and a bundle of decent in - home audio w/ 7.2 surround sound. I've had KEF systems long before they were making computer speakers and were one of the top home audiophile speakers. I've had book shelf Mordant Short speakers as well. I am well aware of what good sound is. I was looking for something that could give me good sound while riding my Triumph. I also discovered I just enjoy these as wonderful ear buds for music off my phone, off my PC and even on my stereo. They do require a break-in. They didn't sound bad in the beginning but after about 30 hours they sound really good. The sound is clear- I can understand why sound techs like it. I do hear decent spatial relations--instruments in differing locations, sound effects, production values. I tend to like everything from Spanish Guitar to Motorhead. Radiohead sounds good, Pink Floyd sounds good. The bass isn't heavy thumping just lush--the highs are clear, electric guitars and keyboards are good. The more natural or unplugged sessions, concerts, classical are very clear for the price. Again if you're going for budget these seem to be the best in the price range. They have higher level models. I can't recommend them as I didn't listen but based on durability, unless other manufacturers are also adding similar features, I'd probably buy again from MEE. For the $35 I spent, this was a good investment. They are durable. I like that the ear buds can detach from the cables. The cable is thick. The over the ear wire takes a bit of getting used to --after about 10 times in / out / over the ear, it's a pretty normal procedure. I use the noise dampening foam as my in ear piece but I also was pleased with the other 3 sets of ear pieces it came with. As motorcycle ear buds they're good--I can get my helmet on and off without dislodging them--they do move a bit when I pull the helmet on but not enough to make me fiddle. I'm trying to ride. If you have a loud music player they would be great on a bike. I'm using a low end Motorola and they make good riding companions. For walking around, standing, no external noise to compete with--great. The amount of money I've blown over the years with dollar store buds, T. J. Max buds, Skull Candy that break etc . probably is around $80. None of those other pairs live to tell. These seem to be surviving. All that said, if they break in a year or under, my review or comments will be updated accordingly.

I've been using this for 2 years and love it. Its discreet (doesn't show up on my podcast interviews), sound quality is good, etc. Recently I changed my setup and needed a longer cord so I messaged their customer service and they replied within minutes telling me exactly where to find it. Love it.

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.

These generally sit tightly in my ears. However, they will pop out if I try to put my helmet on. I feel, that the stiff memory cord is actually making things worse when you try these headphones with a helmet. With any eartips while I pull my helmet on the memory cord travels together with the helmet and pulls earplugs out of my years. When pull my the helmet off, it's even worse. My quite large Sony WI1000X perform better in this regard. I wouldn't listen music on these (intended to use these just for navigation directions). Stereo picture is quite good, frequency response and distortions are not so good. I'd say, they sound for $15 However! You pay the price for an amazing packaging, accessories and maintability: cord is replaceable, you have a bluetooth option, they are packaged with plenty of eartips to fit ears of any shape, second cable with mic... And the customer service (from what I see on Amazon) seems to be very good. I'd say, these are totally worth the price. They nicely fill the gap between cheap headphones, that would fall apart after 2 days of use, and expensive well-made headphones with armature drivers. These are well-made somewhat cheap sounding headphones with dynamic membrane drivers, that will likely last for years.

OVERALL: These earbuds are incredible. I use them primarily on stage with Aviom personal mixers and the balance is far better than both the M6 Sport earbuds and any budget in-ear monitor I've used. I easily forget I'm wearing earbuds and imagine the music is in the room with me. CONS: The mid-range can get muddled, but I've only experienced this when there is an overwhelming amount of mids already in the mix (worse since I am a pianist). For casual listening, using an acoustic EQ helped when listening to music with lots of guitars, for example, all in the same range. The EQ improved overall clarity, which was already phenomenal. The only other con is the size of the headphone jack. If you are purchasing these for use with a phone, you might consider an adapter to downsize the 3.5mm jack that is on the M6 PRO cable. The adapter is 6-7mm wide. It will not fit with my phone case, so I simply use a lighting-3.5mm adapter if needed. This is a nit-picky inconvenience, but one that is worth noting if you don't already have an adapter. PROS: I am in love with the sound quality of these in-ear monitors for the price. It is neither bass nor treble-heavy. There is a great balance between them, with softer mids. Kick drums come through with some punch and depth, and the bass feels warm and deep. The treble on these IEMs is crystal clear, something that is super useful for picking out piano parts from a track. Cable quality feels good, the memory wire around the ear is sturdy, and the earbud housing is barely noticeable in the ear. My sister, who does not like over-ear earbuds, even commented that the cases felt like pillows in her ear. I don't know if the tip/housing angle is different, but these earbuds sealed in my ears much more quickly than the M6 Sports. If you have odd ear canals like me, I'd give these a try, and even consider the custom molds. I did not know MEE Audio offered the custom molds, and the M6 PRO's come with a 10% discount for a set. FINAL THOUGHTS: I was on the fence with these for a long time, and even have a pair of Shure IEMs. I still keep coming back to the sound of the M6 PROs. If you're on the fence, pull the trigger. You won't regret it. Also, consider the Bluetooth adapter if you're in it for casual listening. I left a review on that page as well. Happy Listening!

An In Depth Review of the Second Generation M6 Pro: First lets start off by addressing my experience with IEMs and MEE Audio. My very first set of in-ear monitors I received years ago which was the Westone UM Pro 20. They were a great set of earphones, but after 2 events in which the left (both times) would suddenly die without any damage or wear to the cable or abuse of the IEMs themselves, I decided to quit on them. I've been using budget IEMs since then, and for the price, they all weren't too bad as you could easily replace them with the relatively small price compared to other IEMs. I stumbled across MEE Audio products about a year and a half ago. After being a fan of the standard M6 model and M7P model for about half a year, I decided to upgrade to the highly worshiped M6 Pro (First Generation) model. Although I enjoyed their sound, at the time I failed to take into consideration the fact that these are made for MUSICIANS. As a musician you need to hear your voice above all else and that includes an IEM that not only can reproduce your voice, but can help you pick out the errors in your vocal delivery. Taking this into further consideration, the M6 Pro first generation headphones sound great, but only if you particularly cherish the vocals within a song. Thus, I found them overly sibilant, bright, and mildly fatiguing for more than just vocal heavy songs. I found myself not being able to hear the background music, almost as if it was pushed backwards and the singer was being forced into my ear canals. A great IEM, but not my style. Fast forward to this NEW version that boasts a refined sound. Although I didn't expect them to be completely changed from the ones I knew and loved from before, I was hoping that the highs and mid frequencies weren't as exaggerated so they could be less fatiguing and well, that's my issue with these budget earphones. Review: --Appearance-- These earbuds look amazing. Although they aren't the matte textured earphones I perceived in the preview pictures, they still look stunning, and MEE Audio also promotes their custom engraved metal side plates you can purchase and attach to them. Overall great execution with the aggressive yet subtle curves that surround the plastic shell and a sunken logo that isn't simply printed onto the shell. They aren't exactly eye catching if that's what you're looking for and they sport a low profile when you have them sunken into your ear. --Comfort-- This is where these buds struggled in my opinion. The actual bud and IEM housing is extremely comfortable, even to the point where I can sleep on it. However, the issue is in the detachable cable. The part of the cable that you'd grab to replace the cable is extremely rigid and hard plastic that has an edge on it. Although this edge isn't necessarily sharp, it is an annoyance to the top of my ear lobe. Although I've grew accustomed to it over the two weeks I used them, beware if your ears aren't that of a giants. Overall, after you get used to them, the most comfortable earphones and come in second to the original M6 Pros that I hold at number one. --Sound-- Remember when I said I didn't like the original M6 Pros sound because they were bright an sibilant? Because they were fatiguing? Well I'm saddened to admit that that didn't change with these. On a brighter note (get it) the bass response is far more controlled if not a bit more recessed than that of the original model. The high end has a nice sparkle and I'll admit, it is a very tiny bit quieter. If you are a vocalist or a drummer, you will enjoy this earphone. I'd recommend the Second Gen M6 Pro to any budget musician playing at small-medium gigs or someone who just wants to listen to themselves or other artists in vocal heavy songs. The bass is a little flat and as long as you aren't an acoustic or bass guitarist or someone who listens to a large extent of genres you wont notice the lack of depth but sadly, I do. These buds aren't the best for the price, I do admit that. They deliver a great overall package but something is just lacking in the drivers and they could've been so much better if it were in exchange for the exclusion of included low lifespan comply eartips. --Conclusion-- I was going to say that they lacked clarity, they were life lifeless in the sub to mid bass frequencies, and that they just sounded like a rushed, very lazily revised model. But--I was comparing them to my daily driver. I run the Brainwavz B400 Quad-Balanced Armature reference monitors and no duh these don't sound as good. They are only 1/5th the price of what I normally put in my ears. In other words, they sound about five times worse, but that doesn't mean they suck. As an upgrade from other MEE Audio models or just flat out cheaper earbuds, the M6 Pro Second Gens sound absolutely amazing with a crisp and high resolution sound you won't find in other budget IEMs. I now understand the raving reviews about this product, and to rate it as a normal audio head would, it's quite good for the price and this isn't to mention that a removable cable on this kind of bud can ensure years of lifetime. Although it's a shame its some strange 1-pin deep female connector and not the regular male MMCX industry standard connector. In conclusion, if you are running 20 dollar buds as a standard, get these buds if you want to hear a big jump in audio quality for only 30 dollars more. If you own 50 dollar earbuds already, I'd question the transfer if it were for anything other than the low profile plastic shell. That's all I have to say. Great choice for a budget listener but could be improved!
