MEE audioM6 Sport Wired Earbuds, in Ear Headphones, 3-Button Remote, Sweatproof Earphones for Running/Gym/Workouts with Memory Wire Earhooks, Headset Microphone, 3.5mm Jack Plug (Clear)

To the point: EXCELLENT earbuds. My experience with this product has been great. For what it's worth, I'm a professional recording engineer. Does it make me an authority on all things audio? The answer is NO!If you're reading this review, then YOU are going to be the expert. Hearing for the most part is like fingerprints----everybody is different, though there is some common ground on what sounds "good." The sound quality is very well-balanced in these earbuds. Good bass, mids, and highs. They're going to be good for all around music listening during the workout, sitting at the airport----anywhere within reason. Critical listening? Would not be my first choice, but then these earbuds are not made for the studio. Don't expect the starship Enterprise when flying a paper airplane.Don't expect to tune the loud outside world out----go to Bose for noise canceling. These buds are touted as, NOISE ISOLATING. I personally feel this is a catch phrase to make the consumer look twice, but I can tell you as long as you seat these earbuds with the right fit of the several choices of supplied tips, you're going to find that the "isolating" quality is fairly good at moderate volume levels, and even better when cranked up----no brainer there, but keep in mind ear damage.I find these buds to be quite comfortable with long periods of wear, both in and out of the ear. The '"memory" loop that goes around your ear isn't spot on, but good enough to be "worn" in with only minor adjustments every so often, and stay in place with a lot of movement - jogging, biking, and other similar activities.The case is a nice touch and is not junk. I believe, as with most things, if you take just some obvious care i.e. use the case, don't wad the buds up, don't get them wet, etc, these will last a long time and deliver good, if not great performance for a long time.Bottom line----grab 'em. You can afford another pair if they get lost. At this price grab a couple of pairs. I did, and for my workouts, or tucked up under a helmet, these earbuds are a great deal that deliver great performance without paying a premium for much more expensive models.Hope this helps!

Note: they seemed to have updated this model a little bit since I purchased mine (I recently picked up some for my wife), but the changes seem to be for the better (little bit nicer case & more flexibility in the wires closest to the earpieces).Durability: I purchased these headphones in December of 2011 (1 year and 8 months ago) and only recently did I start to have issues with them (although the first ones I was shipped had a cracked earpiece, but Amazon replaced them quickly and expedited the shipping at no cost to me). Over the past week or two I noticed that the wire on the left earpiece side had begun breaking (the sleeve covering the wire split) and I lost signal in my left earpiece. These things have been through lots of travel use, pulled in and out of the case and wrapped/unwrapped over and over, used for IEM's with our church praise & worship band on a weekly basis, yanked back and forth through my shirt for performances, left in hot car in Arizona summers (110+), used for running on the treadmill, and many other occasions/situations, so I'm not surprised that after close to 2 years of beating them up they have begun to break. Even so, the right side still works perfect. (Note: the little shirt clip broke after about 3-6 months of use, but you can expect that from a cheap plastic piece that gets bent around a lot).Sound Quality: These headphones definitely bring out the lows in your sound (as is the case with most noise isolating headphones because of their design), but after a bit of burning in they seem to have a decently well rounded sound quality. The noise cancelling ability if great with these. I use them weekly with our band and they work great for our in-ear monitor system (never had a problem getting a good sound of our live band and vocalists in these), and I usually have to take one side out to hear the drums more acoustically even though I'm right next to them! These definitely far surpass anything I've ever seen or used in this $ category.Features: As I noted, the shirt clip will likely break after a few months of continual use, but no big deal there. The myriad of earpiece sizes these come with makes it really easy to have some that fit you, and work for your using situation. You get regular, double flanged, and even triple flanged fittings with it. The little carrying case is quite hand in keeping track of all the extra pieces (granted I keep them in the plastic bag they came in too), and has helped my headphones survive almost 2 years of getting squished in my backpack, thrown around on stage, and tossing around in my car.Bottom line is that if you're looking for good headphones, or even IEM's for live performance, there's no better headphones that I know of for $20! And you can jsut spend and extra $5 on something and get free Amazon shipping (or maybe convince a friend to buy a pair too!).As I said, I've bought another pair for my wife, also bought an extra pair for our band members since I got mine, and I plan to buy another for myself any moment here! I hope this helps!
