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)

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!

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.

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.

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!

I bought these on a recommendation from a buddy and I am impressed. Multiple options for ear adapters and a nice case. Great balanced sound at a great price. They fit well and stay in place. I plan to buy these for my team.

It's important to remember what these are... just $50 buds. Overall it's a pretty good value, and I really like the construction quality... braided cables, detachable cables, several tips. But compared to my Shure SE215, they're a bit harsher, with a noticeable gain in the 3-5K range, and the high end is quite reduced at 8-10K. So they're more mid-rangy, with muted highs, and therefore not as balanced as the 215s. Bass response is about the same, though. Compared to my old Sennheiser buds (similar to the Ie60) the problems are even more pronounced. So for IEM use at gigs I don't like them, and given that bump in the midrange I'd be afraid that would cause ear fatigue, plus the reduction in highs definitely hurts the overall experience. I prefer a more balanced sound for gigs. However, I was just looking to replace some buds I lost, for casual listening, and thought I'd give these a try. I find even for casual listening the loss of highs really hurts the experience. But, I like the fact I now have a backup for my 215s. Over 35 years I've produced hundreds of soundtracks and songs professionally, and have been playing in bands on and off for all that time. Even if you're on a budget, I'd spend the extra $50 and get the 215 or something similar. Using IEMs is challenging enough, it's important that you feel the music the same way as when using wedges.

Note: Fairly initial impressions. (I've only worn these for about 60hrs over the course of a week.) tl;dr version: ... it's in the tagline. I have nothing negative to say about these IEMs. This is not a "5-stars at this $50 price-point" score; I'd still give it 5-stars if it cost twice as much. Adjustable comfort "for days" (or at least 12 hours in one go), blocks out the world, reproduces the sound completely and faithfully, and comes with a good number of accessories/options. Comfort: Probably the only pair of in-ear monitors I've comfortably worn for long hours without issues. The generous accessories pack includes a multitude of silicone tips (and also a "first one's free" pair of Comply branded foam inserts) so getting the right fitment in-ear is not an issue. When you couple that with the thin but soft memory wire to set it in place around your specific ear shape, there's no way anything else can come close to being this secure and comfortable. Motorcycle note: These monitors do not protrude from your ears so work well under a helmet. The memory wire also helps to keep intermittent tugs from pulling them out while at speed. If you route them behind your back the large-ish bit of plastic that encompasses the wire intersection Y-join can dig into your back under a back protector and will get uncomfortable on rides beyond an hour. Sound: Very responsive and detailed. Faithful reproduction of all frequencies. If I am to nitpick I would say that JB's impression is spot-on accurate; there is a bit of "boom" to the bass. Not a whole lot; you can dial it out if that is your preference. Do not expect these to crush your skull with bass. That is not what they are intended to do. Rather, if you want to hear the music as it was intended to be heard you can't go wrong with this product. Motorcycle note: The memory foam Comply tips do a great job of blocking out noise so you don't have to crank your music to hear over the wind, thus saving your hearing. Think of them as earplugs that also happen to produce beautiful music. Accessories (see photo): There is nothing missing from the set. The included hard-case is nicely sized for protection and portability. The usual assortment of silicone tips are included; small, medium, large in both single flange tips and isolating (2 and 3 flange/baffle design). A bag of medium sized Comply tips are also included (my preferred tips). Musicians will appreciate the included 1/8" minijack to 1/4" stereo jack converter but I haven't had a reason to use that yet. Also included is a second cable (yes, this thing is modular) that contains an inline mic for calls (or piece-of-mind back-up cable if you somehow damage the other). By default, the unit ships with the non-mic enabled cable attached but changing them out isn't hard if you go that route. Lastly, there is a functional clip that makes short work of slack management for wire routing purposes. Misc final note: MEE didn't splash a garish logo on these so there's always that bonus if you don't like being a walking billboard.

Very disappointed. I was so looking forward to these IEM's based on everything I read. As soon as I tried using them, I realized I had to turn the volume of my electronic drum module all the way up in order to hear through them, and at that volume level of the drums were still much softer than needed, and what I could hear sounded very 'tinny'. In comparing these to my regular headphones that I use regularly, it just wasn't comparable. I guess I need more expensive IEM's as these were truly a disappointment.
