MEE audio M6 PRO In Ear Monitor Headphones for Musicians, 2nd Gen Model With Upgraded Sound, Memory Wire Earhooks & Replaceable Cables, Noise Isolating Professional Earbuds, 2 Cords Included (Clear)

Just used these for the first time on my motorcycle (reason for buying them), worn for 3 hours. Full-face helmet (Bell MX9 Adventure MIPS, a fairly noisy helmet) on a DRZ400S. Mixture of 55-60 mph roads & slow dirt trails.Sound blocking [with included Comply memory tips]: Absolutely zero problems with wind noise, which was my biggest issue with certain foam plugs. Certain foamies left my ears ringing after the ride from wind noise even though I had put them in the proper way. Extremely happy these block the wind noise as I find the wind noise to be super distracting to the ride & makes it less enjoyable. These block all of it up until ~55 mph, than there's a little bit, but it's tolerable. My bike isn't loud, but these definitely dampen a lot of the engine & exhaust sound too. Honestly these probably would block a lot of environment noise, maybe you'd hear a loud horn, but I didn't hear much other environment noise on my ride, even at slow speeds. Could be a pro or con depending on your take on it.Volume: Didn't have to go super high on the volume, which is great. Even at 55-60 mph the sound was clear and never had to crank the volume to hear the music. If you have to turn it louder, you're not protecting your hearing.Sound quality: Pretty good. Really good, crisp mids. I was actually off the bike taking a break on the trails and heard some "new" interesting, subtle background parts on songs I've listened to a hundred times before. The bass leaves a little bit to be desired, I think some other reviews say the same. But it's not "thin" sounding, like really cheap earbuds, by any means. Overall I'm impressed. Take this with a grain of salt because some reviews said there's a break-in period and the sound gets better with time.Fit & comfort: Started to get a little irritating around the 3 hour mark, but nothing too bad, only took them out once in the 3 hours. I saw some people say they couldn't get a full-face helmet on with these, I had no issue of them falling out when putting the helmet on, you just have to be sure to "spread" the sides of the helmet as you're sliding it over your head (which is the proper way anyway). Even if I felt one a little out of place (there was no complete dislodges after putting the helmet on) I was able to reach up into the helmet from underneath and tweak them a bit. Taking the helmet off becomes a little bit painful as it tends to rip them right out of your ear, nothing too bad though.Durability: Obviously can't comment on this yet. Today wasn't hot at all and I wasn't sweating at all really, so I'm hoping they hold up to sweat.The only "negative" thing I have to say about these is that I wish that replacement Comply tips were cheaper than they are. I can see the ones I have getting nasty once the hotter weather comes.Overall these seem like a must have if you want to block wind & engine noise while also listening to some tunes. I don't leave reviews often but these are worth the money, if they hold up!

OVERALL: These earbuds are incredible. I use them primarily on stage with Aviom personal mixers and the balance is far better than both the M6 Sport earbuds and any budget in-ear monitor I've used. I easily forget I'm wearing earbuds and imagine the music is in the room with me.CONS: The mid-range can get muddled, but I've only experienced this when there is an overwhelming amount of mids already in the mix (worse since I am a pianist). For casual listening, using an acoustic EQ helped when listening to music with lots of guitars, for example, all in the same range. The EQ improved overall clarity, which was already phenomenal.The only other con is the size of the headphone jack. If you are purchasing these for use with a phone, you might consider an adapter to downsize the 3.5mm jack that is on the M6 PRO cable. The adapter is 6-7mm wide. It will not fit with my phone case, so I simply use a lighting-3.5mm adapter if needed. This is a nit-picky inconvenience, but one that is worth noting if you don't already have an adapter.PROS: I am in love with the sound quality of these in-ear monitors for the price. It is neither bass nor treble-heavy. There is a great balance between them, with softer mids. Kick drums come through with some punch and depth, and the bass feels warm and deep. The treble on these IEMs is crystal clear, something that is super useful for picking out piano parts from a track.Cable quality feels good, the memory wire around the ear is sturdy, and the earbud housing is barely noticeable in the ear. My sister, who does not like over-ear earbuds, even commented that the cases felt like pillows in her ear.I don't know if the tip/housing angle is different, but these earbuds sealed in my ears much more quickly than the M6 Sports. If you have odd ear canals like me, I'd give these a try, and even consider the custom molds. I did not know MEE Audio offered the custom molds, and the M6 PRO's come with a 10% discount for a set.FINAL THOUGHTS: I was on the fence with these for a long time, and even have a pair of Shure IEMs. I still keep coming back to the sound of the M6 PROs. If you're on the fence, pull the trigger. You won't regret it. Also, consider the Bluetooth adapter if you're in it for casual listening. I left a review on that page as well. Happy Listening!
