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!

I'm using these primarily as in-ear monitors with our band. I had been using in-ear buds before and had good sound, but not always happy with the fit. I always tried to use them with the cord wrapped over my ear, but found they just didn't stay in my ear right. I thus was interested in an over-the-ear wire style, but was maybe trying to spare spending over a $100 if possible. I found these listed online, and they looked like they got good reviews (can check out a lot more reviews at [..]).I've been using them for a couple of weeks now, and what a difference compared to my old ones I was using. I thought I was hearing decent sound before, but these have made me re-think that thought. I feel like I can hear small differences and pitches that I couldn't necessarily hear before. I can control my own pitch better, and feel it's making me sound better overall (since I can hear me clearer!) I get good bass tones (likely due to the better fit in my ears), and am now much better able to tell when the bass is not playing something correctly. I don't think I could do that before with my previous buds.Fit is quite comfortable. I actually like the memory wire. BTW it is all silver with the newer model that I received (Not copper colored as in the picture). I feel I am able to mold it better around my ears, and they stay in as I move and sing without any difficulty. They are a HUGE improvement in fit and comfort compared to all of my others before. Tips are okay - they work for me, although I have a medium in one ear and large in the other to fit and stay in. Seal is great with that combo. I get good bass with this good seal (it's the seal that's a deal breaker for bass).They were somewhat harsh out of the box - which is the reason for 4/5 rating on sound. I did a 24 hour break in, playing music through iTunes at full throttle, and they calmed down SIGNIFICANTLY. Still maybe a little high in the upper frequencies, but I expect this to improve with continued use. I may go back and let them play for another 24 hours or so.Overall quite pleased. GREAT BANG for the buck. If you are looking at the Shures or Westone's - why don't you give these a try first?
