MEElectronics M6 Review - Page 33

post #481 of 484

I've had two or three pairs of these M6s over the past couple of years.  I use the medium flanged tips.  I love the over the ear wire and how well they stay in place while moving around (mainly listening to audiobooks while out walking).

 

However, I've had two main issues with them...

 

  1. The cable gets severely tangled quite regularly.  This is caused by the ear wire hooks and lack of any cable management system.  Can be really annoying.  mad.gif
  2. The tips slip off after a while.  They loosen off the channel that locks them to the earpiece. The tips either stay embedded in my ear canal or fall on the ground and lose them!  I have temporarily fixed this (several times) by using a little clear silicone gel in and around the channel to stick them back on the earpiece.

 

I have also had a problem with breaking the shirt clip.  I destroyed two of them (I think my rolling on them when listening to my current audiobook when laying in bed!).  I contacted MEElectonics and they replaced them free of charge and included a couple of spares.  Fantastic aftersales support!  I was amazed by how helpful and friendly they were.  

 

SQ is ok.  These are not high-end audiophile in-ear headphones. As with most in-ears, it's the tips and the seal you get with them that's important.  I listen mainly to audiobooks and the encoding on some of them is not that brilliant anyway. The SQ of these headphones are more than adequate for an everyday pair that gets used/abused a couple of hours every day.

 

For the money (& support) I don't think there is any over the ear, in-ear canal headphones that can match them at the moment.

Ok... I'm listening to the new pair (with double-flange tips) as I write this and it's a sea change from the old set. The mids are in control and not bleeding over everywhere masking other frequencies. The lows are deep, but highly dependent on that perfect fit. Lastly, thanks to the controlled mids, the highs are coming out well. They are not as prominent as I would have liked but I think they'll open up with some burn-in.

The sound stage and separation is good, but I've heard better in the PL-30 (I know I have to stop comparing the two!). Anyways I hope that too will get better with some burn-in.

 

Final words - Thank god I mailed MeElec! Their CS ROCKS!!! The earlier piece was definitely defective or fake. I think the latter is more plausible - there is a small but noticeable difference in the construction! Never order from mediahome.in (if you're in India)!
