      Sorry, I should have made that more clear - only the larger headphones have an extra shipping cost on top of the $6, but the cost varies by model. It's based on weight.

    Hi rep,

    Which in ear earpones with mic do you recommend has the best quality sound?

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 09:55
      +3

      That would be either the M-Duo or A151P depending on the type of sound you want.

      The M-Duo delivers deep, robust bass while still maintaining pretty good clarity courtesy of a separate 9mm subwoofer and 5mm tweeter/midrange driver in each earpiece. If you like powerful bass and listen to music genres like Pop, Hip-Hop, EDM, and so forth the M-Duo is a better option, and I personally consider it the “safe” choice overall for most listeners.

      The A151P has better audio fidelity in the strictest sense. Its balanced armature drivers deliver a very accurate/flat sound, which make vocals and instruments more easily heard than bass and treble. Many audiophiles and musicians prefer this sort of “flat” sound, as it adds nothing to the original recording. It is well-suited for classical and other well-mastered music with lots of different instruments. However, balanced/flat sound is really something you have to try for yourself to see if you like it.

        Thanks for the quick reply rep.

        I'm trying to place an order just now but wondering which shipping method is best for me?

        I'm going on holiday on 18/07 which means I need this to arrive in less than 2 weeks.

        Will it arrive on time with USPS International First Class?

        The other shipping methods seems so expensive!

        • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 11:26

          If you really need it by the 18th I wouldn't risk standard shipping. 2 weeks is a little on the low side of average for shipping to Australia, and considering our post offices are shut down tomorrow for the holiday (so your package won't go out until Monday), it would be quite a gamble.

    Hi Rep,

    What is good for motorcycle riders under the helmet?

    Sport-Fi M6? (no Mic)
    Sport-Fi S6P (has Mic) Like the shorter lead + extension but hate the armband

    M6P does not have the shorter lead.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 10:42

      I guess it depends on whether you really need the mic. Inline microphones are typically not very useful in windy/noisy conditions.

      If you don't need the mic, there's an old version of the S6P, the S6, which had no mic but still had a short cable. Officially it's discontinued but I'm sure we still have some of the earphones (with no armband) - just shoot me an PM if you want one of those.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 11:43

      Actually, all of our wired and wireless models are Android-compatible (at least for the popular modern Android phones such as Nexus 5, Galaxy S2/S3/S4/S5, LG G2, HTC One, and so on - more info here).

      In terms of prices with this promotion, I think the best deals are the entry-level wired ones - RX12P and M3P, for example, as well as the Air-Fi Runaway. However, if you want the best sound that would either be the A151P/M-Duo in-ears (see my comment comparing them ~10 or so comments up), or the Matrix2 wireless headphones.

      All of our wireless models have microphones built in, so you can use them as headsets.

      If you want bass, the AF52 Venture is the one to get. It's got the most powerful bass by far (excessive for some people, but that's why we have the AF32 Runaway and AF62 Matrix2 as well).

      We're a small brand, based in California, USA. We started out making mp3 players about 10 years ago but, with quite a bit of feedback and encouragement from the Head-Fi.org community, became committed to earphones and headphones full-time in 2009.

      We say that our goal is to deliver Musical Enjoyment to Everyone (MEE), but what we mean is that we try to make sure that all of our products have the best possible performance at their respective price points.

      We also place a lot of emphasis on our customer service, and word of mouth has been our main marketing avenue for the past five years. Feedback from our customers is how we have maintained our growth and of course our ability to deliver solid products without exorbitant prices.

      For jogging you want something from our Sport-Fi series. Really depends on your ideal spend and the features you need, but if you want to keep it basic, the M6 model is our most popular by far.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 14:13

      As far as I know the only improvements are internal - the sound has been re-balanced with deeper bass, warmer tone, and smoother upper midrange/treble. Cable is the same, but honestly I've never heard of one tangle permanently. You might be better off with wireless headphones ;)

    The specs for the AF32 states,

    A2DP compatible Bluetooth connection of the Runaway is compatible with just about any Bluetooth device, including:
    Windows computers (dependent on the Bluetooth device drivers).

    I guess this means they 'may not' work? Is it possible to install the correct drivers to get them working. How can i check before purchase?

      As far as I know there has only been two cases where the stereo A2DP connection simply refused to work on a computer with Windows 7 or 8 (there have been more cases with Windows XP and older Windows). 99% of the time all that's needed with Windows 7/8 and modern hardware is to install the latest driver package (or the "full" driver package as oftentimes PCs ship with a "light" Bluetooth driver). Manufacturers almost always have a full/updated version of the BT driver on their website (you can check this before buying Bluetooth headphones). There is also a generic driver for Broadcom Bluetooth adapters that works pretty well: http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php .

      Absolute worst case scenario is you'll have to buy a compatible dongle and use its software (we recommend one with a CSR chipset).

  • abbztract on 04/07/2014 - 13:02

    Hey Mike.

    Just curious, what's your favorite IEM and headphone? I mean, I always see posts of headphones and such but always been curious about what is preferred by those who actually make and sell them.

    What does your current setup consist of?

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 13:33
      +1

      We have a number of high-end (and not so high-end) headphones in the office for reference purposes but most of the time I'm listening to samples, prototypes, or our recent releases.

      My home setup is pretty modest - an HD600 from Sennheiser with a Audinst MX-1 DAC. I also have three MEElectronics ones - the Matrix2, the Atlas (my favorite until the Matrix2 was released), and the AF32 Runaway (my favorite until the Atlas was released). Honestly, I actually use the Matrix2 quite a lot over the HD600 because the audio quality gap is not night and day and the wireless is convenient even with my PC (I use a ~$15 aptX Bluetooth dongle). Very proud that after all these years we're finally carrying a headphone with this level of performance.

      In terms of IEMs I always use MEElectronics ones (the discontinued A161P balanced armature model as well as the Sport-Fi M6) with one exception - I have a set of Etymotic Research IEMs for flights. The noise isolation blows away noise-canceling headphones. Typically I just use earphones straight from my Android phone or Sansa clip, no amp.

      Even after that, i still bought some MEE M-Duos hoping they might be a bit more durable (these are my current pair, and they're great so far). For comparison, my earphones only ever last me about 12 months at best cos i use them so often - I sent back my last pair of Sennheiser's twice for replacement in the 2 year warranty period.

      If you sweat at all during your workouts, go for a sweat-resistant one. Plus, the pads on the on-ear/over-ear headphones tend to get grimy and smelly if you use them at the gym a lot.

    • Store Repmikemeelec @ MEE audio on 04/07/2014 - 13:50

      The AF32 is not really open-back (the driver is in a closed chamber) but the earpads rest on the ear and they don't really "seal", so isolation is indeed average.

      If you don't mind having the wire routed over your ears, definitely go for the M3P. For me the M9P tends to slip out after I start sweating.

  • herbo on 04/07/2014 - 14:38

    I purchased a pair of these through the Black Friday mystery deal back in December. I ended up receiving the EDM Universe in ear. The included shirt clip was pretty flimsy and broke off in the first week. The sound was great, nice bass. The in-line mic worked well and the controls worked on my HTC windows phone. But just recently the right hand ear piece ceased working completely. Therefore I got about 6 months use out of them, they cost me about $27AU delivered at the time. I suppose that's ok, I was using them most days during that time.

      Unless they've improved sound of the Tone+ significantly over the original Tone, the X6 is more dynamic and has better presence at the extremes of the frequency range. The Tone we tested has some pretty significant roll-off and sounded a little flat/dull. With the help of some DSP, the X6 maintains sound quality pretty much identical to the wired earphones it's based on.

      Our best Bluetooth unit in terms of sound quality, however, is the Matrix2. As our flagship headphone, it has the most balanced and accurate sound of the entire lineup, with clarity to match. It can also be used in wired mode for fidelity-critical applications. Plus, it's the only one that supports the better-quality Bluetooth audio codecs (aptX and AAC) for less lossy audio with devices that can utilize them.

      The M-Duo is only available as a wired set. It would be amazing to have the first wireless dual-driver, though. Maybe next year…

          Yep. Both in individual things like clarity and smoothness, and in overall fidelity. At this point it's easier to get good sound out of a Bluetooth headphone. With a Bluetooth in-ear there's lots of limiting factors.

    Could any of the Matrix2 AF62 owners help me here:

    Could I ask if Matrix2 has crisp and clear microphone (calling) quality?
    Also does Matrix2 still have that lady voice which talks over to say the call is connected?

    Many thanks.
