Review on 🎧 MEE audio M6 PRO: 2nd Generation Universal-Fit In-Ear Monitors with Detachable Cables for Musicians, Clear Sound and Noise Isolation by Tyrone Lyons

For under $50 you probably won't find a better sounding IEM. The fact that the price includes a whole host of additional options makes these IEMs even more amazing for the price. I believe detachable and swappable cables should be in every IEM I buy these days. Eventually I got tired of throwing away great IEMs just because the cable eventually broke. With IEMs and other small headphones like those that come with smartphones, this is a fact. The cable just isn't thick enough to wear out over time and break at stress points, and sometimes that time is less than 6 months on cheaper IEMs. Luckily, the cables that come with the M6 Pro IEM are detachable and interchangeable. You also get two separate cables. One with a built-in microphone and one without. What a nice touch to include both cable types. The cables appear to be quite well made, with a focus on well-known stress points like the mini-jack (L-shaped and solid). The cables aren't woven like I've seen on many IEMs in this price range, but they still have good features, don't tangle and should resist sweat easily as the body appears to be neoprene. Of course, since the cord is replaceable, I'm a little less worried about it lasting more than a year. I read in another review that this person thought the cables weren't securely plugged into the connectors on the IEM, but this could be a quality issue with his pair of IEMs. The cable fits snugly into their connectors on the pair I have and I didn't run the risk of accidentally disconnecting them. My smartphone is an Android phone and the microphone and button on it work great with my phone. The quality of the mic is pretty good, better than about 65-70% of other wired headset mics I've come across. the benefits you get with this IEM kit before moving on to sound quality. I was surprised to find that the entire set included a zippered semi-hard case with separate internal pockets for an extra cable and earplugs. This is a pretty good case for a pair of IEMs under $50, and another nice touch that's very welcome as it makes it easier to keep track of the extra cords and earbuds that aren't attached to the IEM. A full set of fairly decent but standard silicone ear tips also come in S, M and L sizes. Finally, as a nice touch, there's also a pair of Comply foam ear tips in size M (Comply T200). The Comply tips are very comfortable and provide an excellent seal between the ears and the tips themselves. They insulate and seal the outside environment better than silicone tips and I highly recommend them. IEM fit my ears very well. They don't have a large profile, so they fit my ears well and aren't very noticeable when inserted. They also stay in place better than any other in-ear headphones I've worn. I have yet to urge one or the other to sit back down when I'm running errands or even exercising/jogging. Once I put them in my ear for the first time and the Comply tips expand and form their seal, that seal isn't broken until I break it on purpose. It only takes about 10 seconds to restore a permanent seal once I'm ready to seal the outside world again. As the cases are relatively small and light I have not yet felt any discomfort or fatigue and I have kept both IEMs sealed in my ear for over 3 hours and could barely physically feel them even after those 3+ hours. The whole thing would have been icing on a pretty looking but too chemically sweet cake if the sound wasn't good. Luckily, the sound builds on the decent sound profile of the first version of these IEMs, fixing the somewhat imperfect but muddy-sounding bass and mid-bleed that ruined the high frequencies of the first version of these IEMs. Version 2 has a V-curve, but the low frequencies are more powerful and don't sound muddy or fuzzy. In this version you get solid and tight low frequencies. Bassists may want to EQ the bottom end a bit by adding a heavier bottom end, and they respond really well to these EQ settings if you really feel the need for more bottom end bass. I'm very happy with how they are tuned out of the box and I don't EQ the bass. I don't equalize the mids either. I didn't notice the shift in the mid to high range like I did in the first version, but I can't guarantee that this won't happen when you push the EQ to the mids and highs. The only EQ I applied is a slight boost in the 2k to 2.5k range in the high frequencies. Not much, just a slight bump. I'm very impressed with the balanced sound I'm getting from these IEMs with this little tweak. I never thought they would cost less than $50 if I had heard them for the first time and not known their true price. My estimate would be around $125, and seeing the case and extras I would reasonably estimate it to be between $150 and $175. At under $50, these are arguably the best IEMs for the price. I didn't like it better.
