  Best Choice I can think of for active use.

  by Lokwashus on March 31, 2011

  Pros: Very good sound. Outstanding sound for the price
  Secure fit. Will not shake loose
  Appears to be well constructed
  Insanely good value

  Cons: They take a little time to put on and take off Not good if your listening is interrupted regularly
  Would like a firmer large round eartip.

  Summary: To know if this review has relevance for you, I'll first tell you how I use them. I use the M6 Earbud exclusively for my 40 minute run with the dog in the morning. I listen on a 5th Gen Nano mostly to standard MP3 pulled off CD with some MP3 VBR downloads. I have a different genre playlist for each day of the week which goes as follows Blues, Folk-Country-Acoustic, pre-1984 rock, post -1984 rock, and World-Trance-Jazz. Regardless of the genre, all of the songs have a steady beat to keep me moving. I also have a "Chill" non-beat playlist (new-age, slow jazz, chamber-classical) for cooling down.
  Prior to these I had two consecutive sets of more expensive V-Modas, which I used for the same purpose.
  
  Sound:
  Because I'm running, the music has to compete with wind, traffic, my footsteps (heard internally), and my breathing, not to mention my dog's verbal abuse at the squirrels I won't let him chase. So there is no point in pursuing absolute audio perfection. That said, I do want a full frequency range, definable bass, clear, well-rounded voices, and I want to hear my favorite percussive flourishes. I'm perfectly happy. The V-Modas were pretty bass-heavy so these took some adjustment on my part. But in a stationary comparison between my last pair (which seemed to fix themselves after I bought their replacement. )the M6s delivered significantly more clarity across both the bass and mid range. I added a little more base equalization to the iPod and I'm fine.
  
  Fit:
  Fit was the whole point of getting these since I use them for exercise and I'm happy to say they delivered. Previous units often shook themselves loose during the run. But between the upturned angle of the bud and the memory wire over the ear, these things are locked-in. I can't think of a single activity that would knock these things loose that wouldn't involve major head trauma. I had to dig into the bud selection to get the seal right and I'm still dealing with my footsteps causing a bit of tapping sound in my left ear. That it never happens in my right ear makes me suspect the design flaw lies more with my ear than the device. With no movement or feeling of heat in the ear, I feel like I could wear them all day, but they are always out after forty minutes, so I don't know.
  They do take a little more time to put on and takeoff so I wouldn't recommend these for a situation where you have to remove them regularly such as at your works space or anywhere people call or talk to you regularly.
  The flat outsides don't stick out very far so they could be good for use while lying your head on a pillow , though I haven't tried that yet. I'll definitely bring them on my next camping trip.
  
  Appearance
  Who cares? OK, my first V-Modas were red anodized with a red metallic-weave cord that I thought were pretty cool. And the clear heads on these are interesting , but really it doesn't matter.
  
  Accessories
  Who cares? Well again I'll admit that the case with for my last V-Modas makes a great travelling case for various USB cords. The ME round case is too small for me to find any other practical use, so far. The important thing is a variety of tips. You get three different sizes of cone shaped tips which I personally haven't warmed up to. I'm using the larger of the two round tips. I'm thinking that finding some the same size but a little less pliable might correct my "tapping" issue.
  
  Durability
  Time will tell. I'm just two months into their use. I always expect things to last forever but I've learned from personal experience and reading these reviews that it just isn't the case for earbuds. That said, the fairly thick tangle-free cord, decently relived L-Plug (crucial for my use), equally protected y-connection and solid fit give me hope. Plus, unlike my previous units they don't cost much to replace.
  
  Conclusion
  If you want something for active use, I can't think of a better choice. Amazon had them for just $20 bucks, and I'd be happy if I paid $60. I have paid that and more with less satisfaction. However; look elsewhere if you have to remove them regularly during a listening session

  Summary: When I bought the M6, I had never heard of MEElectronics. But there were some good reviews, so I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did!
  
  The single most important thing about earphones is the sound quality, of course. I find that the M6 has pretty good sound quality, especially for earphones in this price range. I've tried more expensive earphones that didn't sound as good. There is a fair amount of bass, and the mids and highs are fairly well rounded. I was happy with the way all my music sounded, from easy listening to heavy metal.
  
  The memory wire can make it a little tricky to put these earphones in, when you first start using them. It gets easier once you've used them a few times. It really helps keep them in place when you're working out or doing anything physical.
  
  I'm very happy with the accessories that came with the M6, as well as the overall quality of these earphones.
  
  I also own the M21 earphones by MEElectronics, and I've really come to like this company. They have well made, good quality products, at very reasonable prices.
  
  If you need a good pair of earphones, especially for working out or other physical activities, at a good price, I highly recommend you try the M6.

  Solid overall but keep your expectation in check.

  by Kingcyrus on May 16, 2012

  Pros: Easy to get a good comfortable in ear fit with all the extra tips thats are included.
  Sound quality is above average. Good bass but certainly not on par with higher level earbuds.
  Great hardshell case.
  Terrific company warranty and customer service.

  Cons: Memory wire should be longer to actually curl around ur ear.
  Vocals can seem somewhat recessed.
  Build quality seems fine but would have liked a metal housing like other MEE products.

  Summary: If you find these for 20$, scoop up a pair. You cant go wrong although you won't be blown away.
  
  I'm looking forward to seeing what MEE has ...

  Great in-ear headphones for the price.

  by achen5 on April 13, 2011

  Pros: Amazing look
  Nice thick cable
  Great sound
  Wide range of accessories such as extra tips, air plane adapter, and cable manager.

  Cons: Bass is good, but wish there was more punch to it.

  Summary: Whenever you get stock earbuds, just toss them away, and pick one of these up, great quality for the cheap price!

  Out of the box I love them!

  by kct1981 on November 4, 2010

  Pros: The sound is more nuanced, heavy bass can sound a little distorted, but check the EQ settings on your mp3 player. I listen to a lot of hard house while running and just turning down the volume helped. Sound blocking rocks.

  Cons: Don't know enough about them yet...stay tuned.

  Summary: I have to say that I am hard on headphones. The last three pairs I had stopped working on one side because of the stress I put on the jack. ...

  Summary: I have to say that I am hard on headphones. The last three pairs I had stopped working on one side because of the stress I put on the jack. I read the reviews on Amazon and on here before I bought them and I am not worried about beating them up. Plus there is a limited warranty. One reviewer said that the sound was a little hallow sounding until after a burn in period.
  
  Don't listen to the silly woman in the video, I got use to fitting them to my ear in less than 1 min. she is pandering to people with brains the size of a walnut and who would freak out that a new pair of shoes doesn't feel like they are broken in.
  
  Don't use the tapered ear buds that insert into the ear canal. In addition to feeling weird and uncomfortable, the bud shaped ones block sound out much better. I am stoked about these because I hate the music the play at the gym, but the traditional over the ear hooks never block out the hideous pop music they play and the stupid little twit who folds towels at the desk thinks that hip-hop is great.
