MEElectronics Appreciation / Fan Thread!!! - Page 11

I have a pair of M6p coming this Thursday and I'm looking into possibly getting the CC51's.  I listen to music a lot throughout the day so they will be put through somewhat vigorous use.  I do hope that they hold up but if they don't, at least they didn't cost me a significant amount like some higher end models.  If they do crap out under a year, I will most definitely look for a better (possibly more expensive) pair of headphones that have clarity and a full, rich sound like my HT set-up, lol!

even though i have my share of complaints with the cc51s build, i don't think that they would purposefully create an inferior product and continue to uphold their warranty so well and for so long, that just isn't very good business practice, unless the majority of consumers just have their headphones break and never bother to do anything about it. i know that from the amount of cc51s i have sent to them, i think that they are no longer manufacturing the black cc51s anymore

They put out extremely quality sound with excellent value. 

 

However, I am suspicious of their driver qualities. Each time, the earphones broke from the driver, never from the cable or the actual housing. I tried using different sources, with much lower volumes with no prevail. 

 

What I am suspecting, ( I hope it isn't true ) Is that Me Electronics put in drivers that sound good, but won't last long . While giving it a metal housing and a teflon cable, making it look durable. 

This may be very cheap to do this, thanks to the (possibly) very cheap drivers.  This may explain their excellent value, and their endless supply of replacements without going bankrupt. 

 

I love MeElectronics and their customer service, but they are starting to get a little shady in my eyes...

 

Hopefully I am just crazy and delusional.

Its hard to get good,cheap & long lasting are rarely mentioned in the same sentence. I hope your observation is wrong as I would hate to see my M6 go belly up. I am also looking at the SoundMagic E30 as its getting quite a number of good reviews, however I would rationalize that it falls into the same category as M6. The one thing I like about Meelectronics apart from their relatively cheap IEM's is the hard casing that comes with it. Rest are now giving out soft pouches in their new generation budget IEM's such as SoundMagic.
 

Anyone got an idea when the S6 will be out?

^s6? by what company?

they have the best customer service! :D

My HT-21 is still going strong, what a great cheap portable headphone. It's a ridiculous value, and I haven't missed my KSC75 and Portapro since!

Looks very similar to the M6
 

I wouldn't be surprised if they just sounded the same as the M6. The fact that it comes with an armband case is really good thinking on MEElec's part, the S6 may just end my search for good gym/running IEM's.

hey. i was wondering if you could replicate my results and try this. to those with mee m9 here's a simple mod:

If the new filter would tame a little of the slightly harsh highs of the M6, that'd be perfect.

S6 has filters? I just realized that my M6 is filterless, potential ear gunk problem in future. Has anyone here tried to DIY a filter for their M6?
