MEE audio Professional MX3 PRO Triple-Driver Hybrid Musician's in Ear Monitor Headphones with Enhanced Midrange and Warm Tonality, Noise Isolating Earphones with Detachable Cables, Black

These ears are really nice quality got the price tag

DON'T BUY THE HYPE. I cannot believe these have a 5 star rating.I've tried about 30 IEM's over the past few months in an effort to find some for both my work and an incredibly demanding personal scenario. I've tried everything from the $20 KZ's to the nearly $300 Shures (trying not to go crazy on price in case I like them. I didn't even go near the $500-1500 stuff). These are flat out terrible.Here's what happened. MEE, your run of the mill 'chifi' as far as I can tell, had some success stealing some of the market away from the SE 215. So they thought to themselves "we need a set of IEM's to sell for $150 and $200" and proceeded to do just that. However, their development was the problem. They took a poorly tuned driver and armature set, about what you'd expect in a $30-50 dollar bud, and then threw in an extra cable, a decent case (finally - almost no chifi's do cases), a sample of Comply tips, an 1/8 to 1/4 adapter, a few cable clips and said, "Hey, we made it to $150 of value!". Because it seems that's what these generic companies think constitutes value, a bunch of run of the mill extras thrown in with a bland an poorly balanced IEM.So, the sound. I tested these across live mixing and monitoring applications and with a variety of media (music, gaming, shows, etc.) - keeping the media constant throughout all my testing (same stuff each time). These were bloated and messy in the mids and very dark sounding. They had a huge dip between 1k and 8k with a small spike about 5k, but then the 10k-14k was boosted pretty strong. What this translates too is that they sound very dark overall, but then certain items like cymbals come through crystal clear. Its a very weird tuning.Lows: boosted below 60 HZ (low dominant sound profile)Mids: like rolling hills, seemed like each octave of 200 (400, 800) had a bit more focus and energy with dips in between. The mids were all over the place, uneven, and sounded very poor.Highs: As mentioned, these sounded very dark except for content above 10K which sounded oddly clear.What's the issue here? Crossovers. Its the Achilles heel of all chifi IEM's. They throw a billion drivers or armatures in there and don't bother to tune anything - you are their R&D after all. That means every crossover (where one driver fades out while another fades in across the frequency spectrum) will be a weak point and either suffer tonal intelligibility or be boosted in volume. These were a total mess.And finally, the make or break for me - these could not be used critically at almost any frequency. You could to a tiny bit of critical work right at 500hz or 1k but THATS IT! They performed at a sub $40 level here. What I mean by this is test is that when using them to solo instruments (kick, bass, vocal, guitar, etc.) boosting or cutting a narrow frequency band and then sweeping the frequency up and down the range yielded no intelligible result. You could boost up to 10-15db at a given frequency without being able to hear what you were doing. I'm not saying the sound didn't change at all, but all you could hear was 'energy'. There was no tonal center or focus. You couldn't hear 300hz being boosted and sweeping up and down. This is absolutely essential for mixing and really anything critical. I'm not sure what causes headphones like any Shures above the 215 to be able to do this flawlessly and others not, but its a big deal. And I wanted to hate on the Shures going into my testing too.Besides being an audio guy I'm also a musician and do various other audio-related things. Here are my recommendations for alternatives if doing anything critical (mixing, eq, editing, transcribing, production, etc.) is important to you:The best: SE 315 - insanely good. I'm not sure why all the bad reviews, these are extremely hard to beat. Tad pricey. (also, use the black foam tips - silicone sounds like trash on the Shures)SE 425 - better for live IEM use, slightly less bass than 315, more mid push and detail, highs are fine but sound recessed due to mids - I didn't get to test them as IEM's from the musician standpoint but I'm guessing they'd be great. Expensive though.SE 215 LTD/SPE - the special edition. Its far more balanced than the regular 215 but the lows can get fatiguing. Its also bigger slightly so that may be an issue. I wouldn't even bother with the regular 215 against these (unless you play synth or accordion).Cheapo alternative - CCA C10. One of the only low-cost IEM's I recommend to people. Criticially they are a mess, but they are just good enough on enough fronts to be worth the cost - especially if you buy them from AliExpress for $23.Just don't buy these, its a huge waste of money from a company that doesn't respect the needs of professionals and just want's to literally sell anything to siphon off from the $150 market.

I was worried these weren’t gonna sound as good as I thought. But these sound incredible. I use them with the included foam tips for motorcycle riding and they fit great under my helmet and have great noise cancellation. Nice long cable too. Runs under my jacket to my phone.

I cannot say enough great things about the MX4’s. I’m a musician and it’s the first time I’ve used IEM’s. I play several instruments and have a degree in Music Business. However, I’m a vocalist at my church and I used some the church let me borrow and they weren’t comfy and the sound was distorted. They no longer provide those because they break. I used my new MX4’s from 8:30-12:45 on Sunday and the noise cancellation and sound quality were wonderful. I could hear every note crystal clear, feel the bass, and the vocalists voices rang true. It was as if I had nothing on and was in a studio.I love that they adjust behind my head and I could clip them. I loved the adjustable wire. I used the foam cushion ear pieces and they were comfy.What’s even better is the warranty, you pay half to replace them if they get stolen/lost, or you step on them etc, and because they’re modular, you can replace and upgrade parts when and if you need to.I compared many brands and read countless reviews. These live up to the hype and I feel that even though these are their higher end models, they’d easily be worth twice as much in other known name brands. They include everything you need and are really well made!Also, can I just say the customer service is out of this world?! I went ahead and ordered the custom ear pieces. I included a picture of what the molds look like from an audiologist. For a pic of the custom ear tips, go on their site. You send Mee the pics of the molds and then send them over to be scanned by them. I got the molds done today, cost me $40, emailed the pics, and already got approved by Mee today, fast response!I’ll be using them as regular headphones with the included extra wire with the mic and for gigs with the original wire.I highly highly recommend these. The other musicians at my church are already wanting to buy some for themselves because they were impressed with mine, they were complaining on how their’s are messed up and they paid like $90! If you can’t do the $199 right now, you can start with one of the other pro models and work your way up but if you have the money, I’d go for these bad boys, you definitely won’t be disappointed!

Got these for the gym so I wouldn't ruin my very expensive earbuds. Very impressed with all the extras, including an 1/4" adapter, carabiner, impressive (and large) case, removable tips, and two cables (audio-only and audio+phone). The cables are a good length and both have clips for your shirt or pocket. Delivers fairly well on the mids and highs but the bass (depth and warmth) is lacking. Admittedly, I'm comparing these to a $200 set of earbuds, but if you're listening for music pleasure and want a full spectrum of sound, these come up short. On the other hand, for casual listening or ambient sound that you would want at the gym or work, these work. One other note. The ear tips are pretty thin and I ripped one trying to replace it, so be careful.

I used to have the Mee M6 models for a little over a year before they got wet and stopped working properly, so I upgraded to the MX1's. Unfortunately they're not as comfortable to wear, as the sound outlet is larger than the M6's and doesn't fit my ears as well, they're overall a little bulkier which I wasn't expecting for earbuds that are still single driver. I have relatively small ear canals and always have to use the smallest tips, but even with the small tips on these, they're still very tight and aren't comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I guess I should have just bought another pair of M6's, but I was curious how much better the audio was on the MX1 pros, it is better but not enough so.

I used these without an independent driver so my review based on direct plug-in to laptop etc.Unfortunately in my opinion there are much better buds/in ear monitors elsewhere in this price bracket.I wanted to like these as the fit in ear is comfortable and secure but almost zero noise cancelling and poor volume.

It is well made, and finished nicely. Equivalent to Shure, except more like the higher $500+ iems except for the 846. I hardly use them, so here is the reason. There are better for less. That is it. They do not need special connectors like Apple, and what makes Apple so loathsome that they are removing the lightning because the Europeans have basically banned it. MEE you are not there yet, and maybe 'there' isn't a good place, because it is annoying. 2nd. It has 4BAs, and a neutral sound... Not original. Not ground breaking. Not really anything it is a (3BA) s535 from 8 years ago with less enjoyable sound. Neutral rarely appeals to anyone, is that dirty secret audiophile trick... Sorry I had to re-rate, as I listened to too many Moondrops and the Trident to think this is acceptable.

Los auriculares llegan en una caja pequeña sin mucho accesorio, así que la presentación no es la mejor, al igual que el cable, que es bastante fino y con las guías para la oreja algo rígidas, en definitiva mejorable.Eso es lo único negativo que tengo que decir sobre esos IEMs. Ahora lo positivo: muy ligeros, bien construidos, un sonido espectacular, y un fit de 10. Las tips dobles de silicona se ajustan de maravilla. También son personalizables (puedes enviarles un molde de la forma de tu oreja para que te fabriquen unas tips personalizadas, además de poder intercambiar las pequeñas placas laterales) aunque no creo que haga uso de estas características, pero ahí está la opción.En definitiva muy contento con ellos, venía de unos Mee Audio Pinnacle y la mejora es notable.

What I disliked about the MEE Professional MX1 PRO was that the sound quality was so poor it sounded distant. I'd like to think that this set was defective. They were nothing to brag about for sure. They had more of a treble sound and I had to turn my volume up almost to 100% in order to get a decent volume on professional audio devices, i.e. keyboard, and IEM on stage in-ear monitoring.

ottimo prodotto, ne ho provate molte e questa è sicuramente una delle migliori. peccato che il calco per l'orecchio non sia previsto per l'Italia...
