MEE audio X5 Bluetooth Wireless Noise-Isolating in-Ear Stereo Headset

I normally do not write reviews, thinking that the sellers can do their own marketing, but everytime I use these earphones I think that I need to provide some feedback. The short version is, if you do not have this earphones, get it. Seriously. You are missing out on the best priced, great sounding, bluetooth earphones.The long version:I am an earphone junkie, having a collection of about 20 currently, having allot more over the years. These include numerous (IEM's, closed/open over ear and on-ear) Sennheiser, AKG, Sony, Philips, Westone (only the 4 IEM), Shure, B&W (the C5), Bose etc. Of these I personally prefer my Sennheiser HD600 for serious listening, with the Westone 4 being the best IEM I have ever used. To date I think that the Westone IEM was the best headphone I ever owned. But, at $300 is is not cheap, and mine lasted about 2 years before the one channel broke (likely my fault, I used it as a sports earphone).I have been using the Jaybird Bluebuds X bluetooth phones for the past 2 years when I saw the MEE AF18 IEMs for $24. At that price I got a few, thinking that at that price, I get a few and when they break I have more. I have one at my office, in my gym bag and one in my car. In the last few months I realized that I only use the MEE AF18's, with my Jaybird gathering dust in my car cubbyhole.For me this is one of the best phones I have ever had. Point. For some-one else it may not sound that great, but read my review and think for yourself.Build quality: I did not expect allot for the price, but looking at the buds on my desk, I was seriously surprised. When I got the MEE's, I also ordered a pair of Sony's, TaoTronics and also a MEE Matrix2 headset. Comparing them with my other phones (including the Jaybird and even the wired stuff), the build quality is outstanding with a solid feel. I think that these will outlast my other phones (if used the same, but I only use these lately). The cable linking the two earbuds feels sturdy and like a quality cable. Buttons are feels durable with a clear response when it clicks.Isolation: It fits extremely snugly in my ear canal and I can barely hear the world around me. It allow me to play the music slightly softer saving my hearing a bit as I do not feel that I have to drown out the external sounds.Microphonics: There is no cable noise.Comfort: I have small ear canal, freakishly small. This is probably why I am trying various IEMs to try and get the one that fit well that I can wear for a long period of time. Most phones are like this, and after a about 60 minutes I take them out. The AF18's fit is acceptable, and I can gym and move freely without it falling out. I have a pair of molded Philips that is probably the most comfortable phones I have, but considering the wireless freedom of the AF18s, I mainly use them, even though they not as comfortable. They are better than the Jaybirds, and far better than the others I have, this probably being the main reason why I use them.Sound: The Jaybirds definitely have better sound. I have alot of earphones that sound better than the AF18, but, they also cost 4 to 10 times more. Considering the price, this is the best sounding IEM I have, including similarly priced wired IEMs I have. I enjoy the sound and the music. There is sufficient bass with noticeable warmth to the music. The highs is a bit lacking but that is understandable. For gyming I find the bass brilliant, sufficiently well controlled to allow the other sounds to be audible.Value: THe.Best.Bluetooth.Phones.at.this.price.Period. Even if these were $50 I would still recommend them.

Just recently received my MEE Audio AF18 Bluetooth Earbuds and so far I am extremely impressed with them. I've only worn them around the house and office, so I'll need to update this later once I have an opportunity to wear them outside and see how well they work and hold up in an uncontrolled environment. To simplify this review I'll break it down in three (3) areas; 1) sound quality, 2) fit & comfort and 3) function & performance. I'll base it on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent and provide a quick description to help those on the fence to either pull the trigger and buy these or continue to look elsewhere.Sound Quality: 4The bass is decent enough for my ears. It's not punchy or boomy sounding, but somewhere in the middle. The mids are subtle and the highs are very clear without sounding shrill. Like with any earbuds you need to have a good seal in your ear canal to really appreciate the sound quality. Too small and the best of earbuds will sound tinny. I'm currently using the medium sized tips, however I'm not using the ones that came with my earbuds, but instead an alternate set that came with my wired pair of Sol Republics. More on that in the fit & comfort section.Fit & Comfort: 3If these headphones have a downfall its with fit and comfort. The small tips just couldn't seal up my ear canal enough and the sound of these earbuds really suffered. The medium ones are soft on the outside like many latex tips are, however the center is hard and hurt my ear after wearing them for around 30 minutes. I tried the larger tips hoping to get a good seal and improve the comfort level while keeping the bulk of the earbuds outside and off my ears, but after 10 minutes my ears were aching and I had to remove them. I pulled out a spare set from my Sol Republic earbuds and these work much better, but are still a little uncomfortable. Will be trying out some softer, memory foam tips as soon as I can get them ordered.Function & Performance: 4So far so good. Placed my phone on the living room couch and walked to my bedroom, which was about 20' away and by the time that I hit the back wall they were cutting out on me. Walked across the parking lot with my phone in my pocket and had a few interruptions, however I believe that it was caused by my streaming and not the Bluetooth. Its been near perfect since. Pairing is easy and my iPad and iPhone remembered them and was a breeze to get it up and going again after pausing my music.Call quality was decent. I had my wife call me from her car and she stated that I sounded like I was on a speaker phone, but that my voice was clear and easily understood. Her voice was clear on on my end. The volume up/down work easily as does the forward and back buttons. Power On/Off, pairing, Siri and pause as well as answering and ending calls are all managed by the multi-function button located on the right earpiece. Charging was a snap and so far I've been listening to these on that single charge for the past 3-4 hours.Overall, these earbuds do the trick for me despite some comfort issues. They sound especially good with some good Hair Band Rock. Boston's More Than a Feeling sounds really good as does Van Halen's Running with the Devil. Not sure how they will sound with other music genres, but these sound very good for the money. For the price you simply cannot do any better. I'm considering another pair for back up, and will definitely consider MEE Audio when shopping for headphones and earbuds in the near future.

Whelp, that was fast. These lasted about 1 month before the left channel got quiet and another 2 weeks before it crapped out on me altogether. This is really a shame because MEE electronics used to have really good quality. I have a pair of Meelectronic S6s that are still going after 3 years of hard use at the gym:Frankly it's not worth it for me to pay shipping to claim warranty on a 30 dollar pair of headphones. MEE Electronics has lost a customer forever.

No duraron ni un mes de uso por lo que los tuve que devolver, fallaba uno de los auriculares.

Excelentes audífonos, muy buena calidad de construcción. Aunque no son materiales premium, se sienten muy bien ensamblados.La calidad del sonido es muy buena, más aún comparado a su precio (yo los conseguí en oferta a $252 MXN). Algunas veces se corta el sonido, pero nada desesperante (unas cuantas décimas de segundo, en especial en la calle con muchos autos). Aíslan muy bien el sonido, tanto que a veces dudo si usarlos en la calle al no escuchar casi nada del exterior.Son muy cómodos y no se sienten al llevarlos puestos un rato. El botón grande de pausa/reproducir es algo molesto de pulsar porque se mete más en tu oído, aunque si lo agarras con dos dedos mientras lo presionas con otro no es molesto. Hay que saber hacerlo.Una recomendación, si te dejas los audífonos colgando en el cuello, los ear fins (el par de silicones que van en la oreja para que queden bien fijados) se pueden llegar a salir con facilidad. Yo no hice caso a las veces que ví que se me cayeron y con los días los perdí. En la caja solo hay un par y no he encontrado repuestos y dudo encontrarlos. Como se pierde mucha sujeción sin ellos, recomendaría pegarlos a la base del auricular, para que no se salgan nunca. De todos modos se pueden seguir usando sin ellos, pero no es igual, en especial en actividades con algo de movimiento.La batería me dura de 5 a 7 horas, he sentido que varía según el nivel de volumen.¡Totalmente recomendables! Incluso al precio más alto que los he llegado a ver, más de $600 MXN.

Sound quality- The earphones provide a balanced sound signature with deep bass which is not muddy and does not cut out mid tones and highs.There is no distortion even on loud volume.Noise Cancellation- It is really good if the fitment is right.Durability- The cables are not braided,but it doesn't look cheap and looks like it can last long.The earphones are made of aluminium and has magnets to keep them together when not in use.

Great sounding pair of headphones. No connectivity issues, the controls are abit fiddly. I bought these as replacement for others that were £100 pair I lost and think there probably the best budget headphones around.

The MEE EP-X5 is a great pair of wireless earphones.Still going strong after 8 months.PROs: - Build Quality: Strong cables, great metal housing, soft ear tips, good plastics. - Sound: Great sound quality. Neutral sounding with an almost equal emphasis on bass, treble. Better at treble and mids than bass. Electronic music and Alternative Rock sound wonderful. - Clear and high quality mic. - Excellent sound isolation. - No microphonics. (Shaking the cable/touching it doesn't introduce noise)CONs: - Cable length is a bit short and so it doesn't give wiggle room. - Uncomfortable to use just one earpiece as the other end dangles and pulls on the side inside your ear. You must use both left and right together for a comfortable listening experience.Overall a great bluetooth earphone.
