MEElectronics Delivers Another Budget Heavyweight
By Justin McBride
Prelude
Before late February, I didn’t know anything in regards to MEElectronics. When I ultimately heard when it comes to the company and purchased my M9Ps, I realized that they were a company that I ought to keep my eye on. In the time since, I’ve had the chance to review their lower end IEM models, the SX-31 and M2s and I’ve been impressed by the both of them, in dissimilar ways. Now, I’m here with a review of the firstborn generation M6 models, one of MEElectronics’ higher end IEMs. These apparently part the same drivers as the M9s and M9Ps and if that’s true, then I must be in for a pleasant experience. So, did the M6 IEMs live up to my expectations? Read on to find out.
Packaging and Accessories
The original generation M6s ship in a black paper box that shows off the IEMs themselves through a transparent plastic window on the front. In terms of accessories, the M6s include an accessory pack that’s fantastically similar to that shipped with the M9Ps, which is a very good thing. Inside the box, you’ll find a clamshell hard case, three pairs of silicone single flange eartips, a pair of generic black foam tips (similar to Shure “olives”), an airplane adapter and a cable winder.
Design and Build Quality
The M6s are made of plastic that feels rather durable. The cable is somewhat thick and rubbery sentiment but doesn’t feel as even though it would cause difficulties if not mistreated routinely. Inside the cable that leads out of the earpieces, there is a built in memory wire which helps route the cable over one’s ears and stay in place once the earpieces have been inserted. I’ve heard complaints that the wire is too stiff but it was comparatively soft and pliable in my experience. The cable terminates in a heat-shrink covered gold-plated straight plug and doesn’t inspire selfassurance because of it is lack of a proper strain relief.
It’s worth noting that the newer and more highpriced M6s are equipped with a much better cable that features a in the right manner relieved L-plug.
Comfort and Fit
Getting these fitted may be a bit of a pain now and then because of their over the ear design and the memory wire that’s embedded within the cable near the earpieces themselves. The memory wire is soft and pliable but because of it being there, these aren’t well suitable to situations in which you’ll perpetually be taking them out of your ears. Once they are in your ears, they disappear. Using the included foam tips or Sony hybrids, I was capable to get an effortless and comfortable seal. The earpieces sit flush with your ears and I found that it was easy to lie down on my side with my head versus a pillow without sacrificing comfort. These are without apparent effort galore of the most comfortable IEMs I’ve used. Isolation is rather decent as well with the right eartips but it’s not one thing spectacular.
Sound Quality
Burn in: As per my usual, these IEMs were given 25+ hours of burn in prior to review.
Once again, MEElectronics has managed to impress me and even straight out of the box, I was enjoying the M6s. I will say that they sounded a bit hollow straight out of the box but after burning in for a few hours, it filled in nicely. In terms of bass, the low end is smooth, elaborate and refined. That’s a lot of adjectives but they all apply in some way, numerous more so than others. It’s surely a spotlight of the visual representation with more than sufficient boom and punch to make Hip-Hop and Electronic music stand out. That’s not to say the bass is boomy, far from it. Bass is well controlled and doesn’t overwhelm the rest of sound signature and seldom creeps up on the lower mids. The low end lacks the speed and extension of my RE0s but is surely better in terms of quantity.
Mids are smooth and full sounding, if recessed slightly. The detail and clarity in the midrange is impressive for the price with full bodied and natural vocals and a nice sense of space and airiness. Treble is more or less emphasized as well, like the bass, and treble extension and detail are both rather good for IEMs in this price range. It’s worth noting as well that these brag marginally smoother and better refined highs than the M9s but slight harshness and sibilance may be heard on numerous higher notes.
The sound signature is warm, full, and smooth with a very nice and dynamic tonal remainder all around the sonic spectrum. The soundstage is almost as huge as that of the M9s but not rather as airy and positioning and separation are both very good for the price. These work fantastically well with a wide range of genres, including the aforementioned Hip-Hop and Electronic and likewise Jazz, Classical and Alternative/Rock. While these can’t match my RE0s in terms of overall quality, transparency and clarity, exceptionally when it comes to the quality of the treble and neutrality, the M6s are very impressive in their own right, particularly when you consider how inexpensive they are.
Value and Conclusion
The maroon versions of the M6s are available for $30 on MEElectronics’ website. The current generation model retails for $50 on the web site but may be found for approximately $40 on websites such as Amazon and Overstock. At $30 for the primary generation M6s, they are an sheer steal and you wouldn’t be remiss in buying the more costly versions for the improvements to the build quality either. Despite apparently sharing the same drivers as the M9s, they are unquestionably superior in each way besides airiness. The M6s deliver one of the most agreeably diverting sound signatures I’ve heard in a while and are without apparent effort the most competent performers that I’ve heard in the sub $50 price range and even outside of that range, these carry out well sufficient to be worth a look.

Packaging and Accessories:The packaging is a nice, clear plastic box. It is precisely the same package as the M9′s with the exception that the paper slip inside is for the M6′s. It is easy to open different from those annoying clamshell packages that a great deal of other companies use. Simple and gets the occupation done. Like the M9′s, the M6′s comes with a plethora of accessories. There is a shirt clip, a cord wrapper, airline adapter, a carrying case, and 4 sets of tips. 3 pairs of dissimilar sized single flange tips, and one pair of triple flange tips.DSC01574.JPG
Build Quality: These are utterly some of the most finelooking IEMs that I have ever seen. The clear housing makes them very distinguishable and eye-catching. These are by far one of the most aesthetically delighting IEMs that are available on the market The M6′s build quality is gorgeous good. The housings are made of a clear plastic that seems to be finelooking durable. The cable shares the same design as the M9′s, a braided cable a plastic/rubber coating. Except the braiding for the M6′s is metallic silver. The plug is a 90-degree, gold plated plug. I prefer the 90-degree style plug over the straight style plugs because they last longer and fit better in pockets. I feel that the build quality is not as good as the M9′s. Nonetheless, the build quality is still very good.

Isolation: I applied the medium single flange tips because they fit me the best, the triple flange tips are just too small; it would have been great if a bi-flange tip similar to the M9′s were included because those tips fit the best for me. The M6′s do an intermediate occupation at isolation, they block out a great deal of sound, but it still feels like I may listen everything. The isolation is unquestionably sufficient for bus rides and actions with similar sound levels.
Comfort: These IEMs are very comfortable. They are the best IEMs for lying in bed with; they are even better than the M9′s which I thought were exceedingly comfortable to lay in bed with. The memory wire helps reduce microphonics and keeps them in place very well, making the M6′s an splendid choice for working out with.
Sound Signature:I had ran around 20 hours of burn-in time using pink noise and frequency sweep files. I have been listening to them for with regards to a week. The sound signature is very, very similar to the M9′s.
* Bass:Like the M9′s, the bass is the firmest point of the M6′s. The M6′s has more bass amount and depth when equated to the M9′s. Bass quality is with regards to the same, very clear and punchy.
* Midrange: The Mids are alitte bit recessed. Not as recessed as the M9′s, but they are without doubt recessed. However the Mids are also very enjoyable.
* Highs:The highs are unquestionably better than the highs of the M9′s. They are very elaborated and crisp, unquestionably worthy too listeners who like a lot of details. The highs have no harshness not similar to the M9′s which have a bit top end harshness.
* Soundstage: The soundstage was good; airy and there was good instrument separation.
* Conclusion: These headphones are outstanding for bass heads and detail listeners. Terrific headphones for working out with.
Songs:
* Enter Sandman by Metallica: The song sounds very powerful with these IEM’s. The bass is great, and the electric guitars sound fantastic.
* Fake Palindromes by Andrew Bird:This song actually shows how elaborated the M6′s may be, the vocals were very elaborated and pronounced. The song also tested the speed of the M6′s, which was genuinely gorgeous good. The M6′s could keep up with the jumble of instruments rather well.
* Fade to Black by Apocalyptica:A cello cover of the heavy metal song by Metallica; the long sustained low notes of the cello is just amazing, the bass just engulfs you.
Amped vs. Unamped:Amplification of these earphones does not make a huge divergence due to the fact these earphones are comparatively easy to drive because of it is 16 ohm impedance. With the Fiio E5, I did not detect any big deviations in sound.
Comparisons: The M6′s is a step above the M9′s even even though they percentage the same sound signature. The M6′s has better bass and is more elaborated than the M9′s. The M6′s are unquestionably better than my Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 and my Shure se110′s.
Conclusion: The M6′s are great workout or causal IEM’s for $50. The Maroon ones at $30 ought to be an sheer steal. They unquestionably may compete with higher end headphones that are in the $100+ range.
Verdict: For $50: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED For $30: It’s a steal, get it ASAP!

Excellent for such a low price!.
By Anonymous cat
I am very happy with this earphones. Be conscious though, that they genuinely isolate noise, so if you are outdoors, you won’t listen cars, voices, etc.
After various hours of reading reviews for sports earphones, I chose these ones and I don’t regret it. They are comfortable (a ‘must’ for us Yoga practitioners or workout fans) they stay in the ears (there are various sizes to choose from) and the quality sound is genuinely good, taking into account that these are not top of the line earphones, nor most of us need such hi-fi definition while jogging or working out.
The wire is strong sufficient but it doesn’t get in your way. I would like to have it a little bit shorter though, but I’ve noticed that earphones just come in two sizes: Too long or too short and I prefer the too long and use the clip, since I don’t wear my mp3 in an arm band.
If you are looking for comfort, nice sound and good looking earphones, plus a reasonable price, these are your earphones.
