So now whe are going to review the hype Budget iem! Is the well known memt x5, with in the box some double flange tips, chin slider. some pics
Build quality and durability
As you can see is also all made from metal, the housings, the plug and also the microphone. There are not so many in ears that are made from metal and let me tell you that this iem will last you a long time and of course why i said that? Because after test it i have using about 8 months, so no problem. The bad is the springly cable and sometimes the fit, but you can past it above the ear to prevent the microphonics and problem solved.
Sound
How about the sound? Of course is one of the best questions and let me tell you that for this price only in sound is unbeatable better tan many competitors but whe are going to talk it in the comparisons section. Also is very easy to drive and its perfect for mobile uses that i commonly use. Also is the best partner for your mobile, with that micro dynamic driver and that sensitivity.
Soundstage:
The soundstage is big for this tiny monster, but not so good when a lot of intruments came in, but it certainly with 4 instruments in the band are certainly pretty good lol.
Lows
This is one of the best parts, the memt can go pretty low and you can fell the rumble! But sometimes the bast is a little bit boost in the center of the music and in certains songs like in the incubus álbum “morning view” and sometimes lack in definition but further in that… its not certanly a complain.
Mids
The mids are well separated but sometimes the bass ge tinto the mids (bass control problem) but they have a nice slightly warm and clean mids, you can also feel sometimes some in the stage moments when the guitar with the distorion with a power chord gets in your face! Pretty cool for this iem.
Highs
The highs are not piercing and are a little bit exciting but it seem that are alittle bit in the background that is great when a shiny guitar solo comes in but at least it have some definition and some crytal clear highs.
Comparison
Well this is the intereting part, with all the iems below under $20 dollars and all new iems get released like every 2 months with this quality, its difficult to compete with the memt x5 due to their build quality and sound kicking asses to some old earphones like soundmagic e10, e50 and maybe e80 so thats why im not even compare it in this time.
Memt x5 vs rock zircón
I certainly dont like the hype of the rock zircón it have a little better mids tan the soundmagic e10 and also nowadays the soundmagic its not a competitor. Lets back to it, the rock zircón does not have so much definition in the bass región make in it muddy, the mids are ok but the highs in the memt have better definition, the mids are better in the memt and everything else lol and with more durability.
Memt vs tennmak pro
This one is very tight and you maybe what to choose in what sound you like, if you want a more lively sound and some better bass, choose the memt but if you want a more analythical sound, better separation, mmcx cable and you have a nice dap… choose the tennmak pro that are also one of my favourites Budget iem.
Memt vs urban fun
The urbanfun is hybrid iem that certainly is better but not for so much. The mids in the urban fun are more cristal clear, not so warm and not so much in sound getting those mids more acurrate but some what the cymbals and the hi hat in the drum kit is clearly better defined in the memt x5. In the bass department is more controled in the urban fun and voice are a little more clear thank to the ba. In the build quality is better in the memt and winning in the durability test.
Now the question if its really worth it and let me tell you it is! With a ridiculous price of between 17 and 20 usd is defintely a pick if you want a perfect partner for your mobile and you want to leave your dap in the house, its just perfect. So here is nowehere to lose… you only loose if you dont try these tiny dubstep, electronical music and rock monsters!
Thanks for Reading and until next time
