MEE audio M6 Sport Wired Earbuds, Noise Isolating In-Ear Headphones, Sweatproof Earphones for Running/Gym/Workouts, Memory Wire Earhooks, 3.5mm Plug

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. Visual They 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. Fit They 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). Comfort I 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 Quality When 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.

My problem..I have small ear canals. Having used numerous earbuds from the 1980s it has been an neverending struggle to find ones that will have a good sound production and will stay in my ears without continuously slipping out. The good enough sound quality has been quite easy to fulfill with the market selection of earbuds but it has been truly a quest for the nonexistant to find earbuds that once adjusted, stay in without slowly slipping out of my ears. The problem is exaggerated during any physical movement, let it be walking on street or bicycling. I won't even go to the epic failure of my past year's earbuds. You know the designs from 1980-2000s.. none seemed as if they were designed to stick in my ears.. one thing was sure, my ears are not the standard size! I should probably mention though, that my last earbuds before purchasing Meelectronics M6s were my Samsung mobile's earbuds. The same old problem, I can sort of fit them with the smallest rounded tips but they start to slide out fairly quickly. Even when sitting on a public transportation. The cable friction on my jacket collar and wire routing through clothing, and the listening device weight all produce a combo of factors that drag the earbuds of any manufacture from my ears. That is...until I went on a once-again desperate internet search of what's out there for us small ear canal freaks. Must I really resort to children's Hello Kitty earbuds? Then I saw a review on Meelectronics M6s. Someone said they fit his/her ears prefectly when no other earbuds would. I clinged to it. I followed the hot trail, checked the manufacturer website and knew I was onto something. The M6s actually looked anatomically designed. The problem of finding them was finally solved by Amazon.co.uk. I was excited to say the least. I couldn't wait for try them! So then the day came, they arrived and I got to fondle and try them. It's been a love story since.. Simply put: they fit in my ear canals perfectly and stay there. The sensation of clear high quality sound finally filled my head and didn't fade with the sliding off if the earbuds. I can't really explain how these moderately priced earbuds made my listening experience so much more pleasurable as sounds mean a world to me. One thing I should probably mention is, that the come with various earbud tips. So these are not just for my freak ears, the general design is aimed at anyone needing earbuds that fit and stay on. What really make the M6s good in my experience is: - good quality sound. The fitting inside ear canal is everything in earbuds. If the fit is poor no good sound can be expected. M6s fit so well and I feel the lows to the highs. - the earbud tips are curved as seem to be my ear canals. When I insert them the really follow and fill the earcanal with little effort. Im no doctor but it would seem that anatomically speaking we all have the same design in our canals and the variation is in sizes and lengths? - the earbud frames and the attached wiring curve around the top part of your ear helixes preventing the drag from below. For physical excercise and movement, this is a very smart design feature. - the cabling is robust, it's slightly thicker wiring than what is the norm. This has given me trust that the quite common pull from the device below the earbuds won't easily break anything. - small but great feature, there's a movable clip on the wiring to lock the cable in position and prevent the pull from the device. The thing is, clips are not too common in earbuds and this little thing solves a frequent problem. - the transparent color of this particular model is pleasing to me, I don't get satisfaction from black stuff hanging from my ears and this color scheme sort of melts in better without looking all security oriented. - low profile hard eva case that will protect your M6s and you can fit it anywhere. So there you have it. I quess I could just say.. I fully recommend them for anyone looking for earbuds that really fit and stay on during a physical excercise :)

I have been looking for a set of ear buds that will work with a motorcycle helmet for a while now. These looked like they had a good chance of staying put while donning my full face. I just came back from a 50mile ride using these buds, I'm well pleased with their performance. Music was clear and sharp well over 70mph, they are probably the best ear-buds I have ever had. They reduced the wind and engine noise down to a whisper, this did have an effect on speed perception, well I got a shock to see how fast I was going at one point. I did find it fiddly to put on the first time, till I read the instructions, using the two handed method they're a doddle to put on. Getting a helmet on top of them is helped by the over ear design as it helps hold them in place. The big surprise was how low profile they are, there the biggest buds I have, yet stick out the least, holding a hand the the side of the head wont push them in any further. For the price they are great, the only downsides are: a little uncomfortable (not used to in-ear )and a annoying click on the right bud if its squeezed just the wrong way, the other is fine. So if you like riding 500cc bikes through the twisty back roads of the Scottish Borders to the music of rock gods these nifty ear-buds might be just what your looking for. Dave Oh, and they come with a carry case.

THEY DID AS ADVERTISED

Die Hörer sind wirklich gut verarbeitet, besser als so mancher wesentlich teurerer InEar. Das Kabel macht einen sehr stabilen Eindruck, neigt nicht zum Verheddern und die Kabelgeräsche sind eigentlich nicht vorhanden, wozu natürlich auch die Kabelführung hinter dem Ohr beiträgt. Daran sollte sich besonders Sennheiser mit Ihren flimmsigen Kabeln mal orientieren. Es lässt sich durch eine Führung unter dem Kinn fixieren, ein Federclip befindet sich weiter unten um das Kabel an der Kleidung zu fixieren und Kabelbewegungen weiter zu minimieren. Sie tragen sich sehr bequem, bei mir drückt Nichts, weder in der Ohrmuschel vom Hörergehäuse selbst, noch die verstärkten biegsamen Abschnitte, die über den Ohren sitzen. Sie sind schnell einzusetzen, es erfordert natürlich eine gewisse Umstellung wenn man sonst nur die Tragweise mit dem Kabel direkt nach unten gewohnt ist. Das Anlegen dauert zwar bei dieser ÜberOhr-Tragweise etwas länger man hat aber den Vorteil schnell mal die Hörer aus dem Kanal nehmen zu können wenn erforderlich ( z.B. an der Kasse), ohne Sie gleich sichern oder verstauen zu müssen. Es sind überdurchschnittlich viele Silikonpassstücke mitgeliefert, so sollte jeder was passendes finden, Ein dickes Plus noch dafür, dass Sie so wenig nach aussen ragen, einer Hörsession im Bett mit einem Ohr auf dem Kissen ohne unangenehmem Druck steht somit Nichts im Weg. Die Klinke ist um 90° abgewinkelt und hat eine anständige Zugentlastung. Der passende Sitz ist bei inEars besonders wichtig, schliessen die Passstücke nicht wirlich dicht ab, geht viel Bass beim Hörerllebnis verloren, ausserdem dringen natürlich Aussengeräusche verstärkt ein und die Musik wird meistens lauter aufgedreht um diese zu übertönen; wem sein Gehör wichtig ist sollte darauf wirklich achten und mal den Verleich machen. Nun aber zum Wichtigsten, dem Klang. Ich spare mir hier irgendwelche Möchtegern-audiophilen Klangbeschreibungen:). Dies ist ein bassbetonter Hörer, das fällt aber keinesfalls negativ ins Gewicht wie bei den allseits so populären Beats Hörern, die es m.E. nach stark übertreiben und kaum noch Differenzierungen im Bassbereich zulassen. Hier bei diesen MEE M6 geht der Bass auch ganz schön tief runter ohne aber unpräzise zu werden. FÜR MICH klingen die Mitten und Höhen ausgewogen, die Auflösung ist für einen Hörer dieses Preises aussergewöhnlich gut, Klang Details werden also gut dargestellt, die sogenannte Räumlichkeit finde ich ebenfalls für die Klasse weit überdurchschnittlich. Durch die Bassbetonung eignet er sich besonders gut für Pop mit all seinen Stilrichtungen, Rock, aber auch Jazz und Klassik machen damit Spass, die Frequenzen passt man dann eben per Equalizer nach Wunsch an, Denen, wo die Silikonpassstücke ein unangenehmes Druckgefühl verursachen kann ich die separaten Foam Tips der Firma Comply sehr empfehlen, die sind zwar nicht so haltbar wie Silikon, durch den Memory-Spezialschaum aber sehr anpassungsfähig und luftdurchlässig (kein Überdruckgefühl im Ohr, oder Unterdruck beim rausnehmen). Das durchsichtige Plastik des Hörers und der Kabelummantelung gefällt mir und setzen Sie optisch ab vom Einheitsbrei. Klare Kaufempfehlung!!!

When walking

080215 Confort et efficacité Ces écouteurs sont confortables et ne provoquent pas de gêne lorsqu'ils sont convenablement positionnés dans le conduit de l'oreille. Munis d'un fil à mémoire (qui conserve la forme donnée) ils restent bien en place même lorsque, comme moi, on porte des lunettes. Il m'arrive d'écouter de la musique au lit, la tête posée sur une oreille ou l'autre, sans ressentir un désagrément provoqué par les écouteurs. Ils sont livrés avec différents embouts très souples qui s'adaptent sans doute à la plupart des conduits d'oreilles. Pour ma part, j'ai monté deux embouts différents qui épousent bien chacun des conduits gauche et droit. Il en résulte une diminution très sensible des bruits extérieurs et donc une audition non parasitée qui permet de réduire le volume du son. La restitution des aigus et des graves est correcte. En conclusion, le rapport qualité-prix de ces écouteurs est excellent.

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.
