Great Earbuds That Rivals More Expensive Buds

I have tried MEELectronics earbuds in the past and loved them. So I figured I would give the Duos a try, and I'm glad I did! This was my first pair of multiple driver earbuds so I was skeptical on how they would sound. One driver is for highs and mids and there is a driver for bass! These earbuds are very well balanced and they challenge my much more expensive Sony XBA 4IP, which has 4 drivers. Don't get my wrong, the Sony's do sound really good, but these earbuds give them a good challenge. And especially when you look at the prices between the two. I have several earbuds and headphones and the Duos a lot of them to include a couple of my headphones. So for great earbuds for the price, these are the ones you want to get.

I did not expect such a tiny woofer to provide such deep bass. The highs are very nice, as are all of the MEElectronics headphones I own. The M9s were my favorite, but the M-Duos have the same great clarity with added thump. The bass is not muddy & muffled, but clear & strong. Like the M9s, they are quite comfortable to wear. I go with the double-flanged deep tips, which give the enhanced bass performance. I am very happy with these headphones.

I use these earbuds on a daily basis for talking on my iPhone and when I go for a walk/run/jog. They have different earbud sizes and styles. The sound quality is execellnt and it is awesome for noise cancellation. One of the best pair of earbuds that I have owned. I have had them over a month and have not had any problems. I just wish it had the controls for the volume on the mic remote. I would have given it 5 stars if it had the remote for volume control.

First off, I am not an audiophile in any measure, but I figured I listen to music a lot in my commute ard 2+ hrs round trip (in loud NYC subway) so why not treat myself with better headphones. Given I've broken two Monster Powerbeat (one within 1 month and another in 3 months), used Beat tour and lost both of my Shrue 110 and klipsch all in one week, I started off researching a new pair of headphones, somewhere south of the $200 range.
As I was doing my research, I read some of the reviews for MEElectronic. It markets itself as a budget brand, but with good sound quality. It has some good reviews from reputable sites for some of their signature headphones so I continued my research. Since I was trying to look for some higher price range headphones, I found this M-Duo Dual Driver as their latest model and started my comparison. I compared the specs and the reviews with other more popular brand like UE, Shrue, Monster, Westone, Klipsch.
Based on the paper, M-Duo's specs typically matches with the headphones of these above mentioned brand price rage in the ard $120-$180 range. I went and tried some of them in the stores and I just can't seem to find much of a difference in sound quality to justify the 1.5x or 2x the price diff for these other branded headphones in the same category.
As for the headphones itself:
Pros:
- metal material headphones. very solid. and it doesn't give you the cheap plastic feeling as the other more famous brands do.
- Bass is good enough (certainly not too much) for my hip hop music
- the mid and high is surprisingly clear for my jazz and acoustic/live concert music (which the Monster and Shrue headphones with double the price range that I owned did not provided)
- I like the L-shape headphone jack as I broke the two Powerbeat because the jack was straight up and it bends awkwardly when i put it in side my jean pocket (given the jeans are on the tight end)
Cons:
- metal headphones makes it a bit on the heavy side, but not heavy as in they can't stay in your ears
- since they're metal, the headphones tend to hit each other and scratch one another inside the pouch.
- I wish the remote has the volume button
Bottom line: I am happy with my purchase. I dont' think you can find any dual driver headphones in this price range that gives you the sound quality that M-Duo does. You can always pay more for the more famous brands, but I tend to like the fact of telling ppl I paid 1/2 the price but got something with the same if not better quality to let them know brand is not everything.

Great set of Earphones

Introduction: I’m an audiophile that has a penchant for excellent sounding sound equipment. I have always had a deep interest in In Ear Monitors but have recently started to purchase full size headphones as well.
Company Info: From my experience, Meelectronics, also known as Meelec makes some of the best headphones for the price. They also have some of the best customer service that I have ever worked with. www.meelec.com
Product: Meelectronics M-Duo, Metallic Blue
Price: Retail: $80
Specifications:
· Driver: Dual Dyanmic Drivers
· Frequency Range: 10 – 20000Hz
· Impedance: 16 ohms
· Connector: 3.5mm gold plated
· Cable Length: 135cm/53in
Meelectronics in ear monitors that provide a wider dynamic range as a result of the dual driver system.
Equipment Used:
· My desktop with an Asus Xonar Sound Card
· HTC One
· Fiio E5 amplifier
Packaging and Accessories:The packaging is quite nice, it is a very high-end box with a cross-sectional picture of the headphones showing off the inner workings. It comes with an updated carrying case that provides much more protection compared to the older carrying case as well as 6 different pairs of ear tips as well as a shirt clip. The shirt clip is now much easier to remove compared to the older shirt clip.
Build Quality: The build quality of the earphones is very good, however due to the shape and design, I could easily mistake them for $20 earphones. However, they do not feel like $20 earphones at all; the housings are made of metal, aluminum I believe, and this is what makes them feel extremely durable. The Y-joint and the microphone are both metal and feel very solid. I have taken them to the gym many, many times, and they haven’t shown any signs of wear, I am extremely impressed.
Isolation: I use the medium sized single flange tips that came installed on the earphones. I find that these tips seal and work with my ears the best. The isolation is slightly above average for an in ear monitor, nothing too crazy like how some Etymotics can be.
Comfort: Comfort for the M-Duos is what is expected for an IEM with such a form factor. Pretty much feel like any other standard mid-range IEM out there. I can wear them for many hours without much discomfort.
Sound Signature: I have used these headphones exclusively for over a month now with burn in periods of pink noise ever now and then.
· Bass: The bass is very clear and detailed. Definitely a bit warmer than neutral, but the bass is very fun and the sub-bass is excellent as well. The lower extension you get with these earphones is just great.
· Midrange: The mids are a bit recessed, these earphones definitely have a V-shaped frequency response curve. Still not too bad, but could be a bit better.
· Highs: The highs have a bit of a roll off but are quite detailed and have a good amount of sparkle to them. I didn’t notice much sibilance or fatigue with these earphones.
· Soundstage: Good for an in ear monitor, good enough that I can use them to locate footsteps in First Person Shooting games.
· Conclusion: Fun sound signature that is just solid. Slight mid recession but isn’t that bad once your ears adjust.
Songs:
· Four Seasons Winter 1st Mvt. By Vivaldi: Excellent separation and imaging for an in ear headphones. Good speed and accuracy. These earphones are very enjoyable for classical music.
· Don’t Give Up On Us by Avicii: This is where I think the M-Duos really shine. The bass and sub-bass is rendered beautifully for electronic dance music. Just super fun to listen to with these earphones.
· Fade to Black by Metallica: Enjoyable to listen to, but for this genre of music, I wish the frequency curve was a bit more balanced than it’s V-shape.
Amped vs. Unamped: These earphones do very well with an amp. With my measly E5 there is a touch more body and a bit more clarity.
Microphone: Very good clarity for a headset microphone.
Conclusion: The M-Duos, as always like the other headphones that Meelectronics offers, is a great bang for the buck in ear monitor that offers excellent sound quality for the price.

The Meelectronics M-Duo is the newest addition to their Signature series of in-ear headphones. Its dual dynamic drivers boast strong and well-extended bass, including a separate woofer and tweeter. I bought the M-Duo directly from Meelec and was pleased to see it did not skimp on packaging or accessories. Accessories include a redesigned hard clamshell case, shirt clip, and 6 sets of tips in various lengths and sizes. The tips are soft and of pretty high quality. Overall, a solid accessory package.
The contrasting color design on the housings makes for an attractive and classy look without being overly eye-catching. The build features beefy strain reliefs all around on a solid, kevlar-reinforced cable. The cable below the Y-split thick and supple and terminates with an extremely robust looking L-plug. Unlike those used on many flimsier "buds", I would not expect the cable of the M-Duo to come apart from normal use. The housings are solid metal and quite bulky, but feel durable. My only worry is that the cable going to the housings is a little thin. The remote/mic is unobtrusive and the mic quality is very good. As with all inline controls, it can potentially be a durability concern. It is too early to tell if these M-Duos will last the test of time but so far the durability seems very good. Mild driver flex is present.
Isolation is decent for a vented design and can be improved using the triple flanges or foam tips, but is at best just above average. Noise leakage is very low and makes up for the isolation somewhat. Microphonics are reduced using the included shirt clip and nonexistent when worn over-the-ear; this does hinder the mic position, however.
The housings of the M-Duo are rather large and heavy, but need only to be shallowly inserted. The stock tips are soft, fit well and are very comfortable. The triple flange tips offer a more secure fit and improve bass response, but trade a significant amount of comfort and can cause gradual ear fatigue. Foam is another option for those willing to routinely replace the fragile tips, but I highly recommend trying out all the included tips first.
-Sound-
The M-Duo fits right in as a flagship addition to the M-Series, offering a fun, yet only mildly V-shaped sound. These IEMs are far from neutral or analytical. The first thing anyone will notice upon listening to the M-Duo is the earthshaking subbass response, which enjoys a powerful boost along with the entire bass range. The result is a dominant and fully extended bottom end that remains well controlled. The bass may lag behind armature models in speed but makes up for this with great impact and control.
The midrange is a touch laid back but does not feel recessed. Male vocals are not quite as forceful but are thickened by the strong bass boost. On the contrary, female vocals and guitars are very aggressive; this sets the M-Duo apart from the typical "fun" sound.
Treble is detailed and sparkly with good extension, but does not come across as particularly sibilant. Cymbals have a natural and impactful sound. There is a slight tendency towards sibilance but nothing near the grating levels I experienced on the JVC FX101 and Philips 3590.
The overall sound is on the warmer side and very energetic across the board. Soundstage depth falls behind by nature of the forward presentation but width, clarity and instrument separation are great.
I mostly listen to rock and metal, and have found these M-Duos to possess great versatility across genres.. My only gripes are that I haven't found the ideal tips for them yet, and isolation could be better. Some will not like that there is no version without an inline remote/mic, but it is a convenient addition for smartphones and seems durable. The M-Duos represent a very solid value at their price point by offering a nice accessory package, outstanding build quality, great usability and an aggressive, clear sound comparable to much more expensive IEMs. A spectacular value, built well and backed by the best customer care I have seen in the business.

M-Duo Dual Dynamic Driver In-Ear Headphone with In

I received these headphones a month ago and am extremely pleased with them. First off, as soon as you place them in your ears, they are comfortable to someone who has had problems getting earbuds in the past. Once you plug them in, the true pleasurable sound experience begins. The sound quality is amazing on these headphones. The bass and treble are so distinctively noticeable as rich sounding and blend together to provide an incredible listening experience whether you are listening to The Beastie Boys (Rap), Everclear (Alternative), Train (Pop), Foo Fighters (Hard Rock) or Five Finger Death Punch (Metal). Every nuance in the music is picked up by these headphones and relayed into your ears to give a clean, crisp sound. I have used these headphones on both my Samsung and Apple devices and are, by far, the best headphones I have ever purchased.

I tried a pair of Beats hoping they would sound as good or better than my last pair of earbuds. They didn't cut it and based on reviews and some research, I purchased the MEElectronics M-Duo. Wow is all I can say! The sound is amazing on all levels and bass reproduction is superior! You will not be disappointed!!

The M-Duo is a great IEM for anyone looking for one under $100. It's comfortable, built well, and has a fun sound with plenty of bass that's not overwhelming. Meelec really did a great job making this dual dynamic IEM, very enjoyable to listen to.

Great value IEM under $100

Pros:
*Great V-shaped sound characteristic
*Great build quality
*Comfortable
*Universal Mic and play/pause/call button
Cons:
*I like to wear my IEM around my ear lobe and the angle of the strain relief makes it protrude a bit when coupled with an ear hook (minor)
*For me, the cord length was 6" too long so I coil it and secure with a small velcro strap near the Y-split to reduce potential to snag on things (minor)
I purchased the M-Duo direct from Meelectronics when it first came out. Out of the box, I can tell that the build quality was top notch with a metal housing, kevlar-reinforced cord, and a 90-degree gold-plated plug. The plug is interesting in that there's about a 1/4" gap from the end of the 3.5mm plug to the 90-degree bend. What this translates to is that it can connect to smartphones/MP3 players with the thick cases with no problem.
The cord is long. This could be a good thing for tall people or for those that connect the M-Duo to a laptop/PC and want to reach for something without having it yanked out of their ears. I put this as a CON, but it did not impact my review of the M-Duo.
It took about 80 hours of burn in before the sound settled. I listen on my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 5th gen. Initial sound impression was that it sounded a little cold (not much mid-bass; no body to vocals or guitar strums) and a little grainy. But after burn in, I noticed a slight warmth in the mid bass region giving it a very satisfying sound. I like to listen to Sublime/ Rebelution and the like, and the bass is amazing on those songs. I also listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers/Foo Fighters and the treble sparkles with energy. They sound great on many of today's popular music genre (Rap, Hip Hop, Pop, Reggae, Rock).
I have to say that the sound is aggressive: it is in your face/ in your head and not as airy (distant) as the Vsonic GR07BE, for example.
I would recommend the M-Duo if you want a fun, aggressive IEM and have a budget under $100.

Don't buy any Beats by Dre or some other overpriced, low-quality earphones. Get a pair of these and save a few hundred bucks and have vastly superior sound. The only minor problem I've had with these is sometimes I need to adjust them every so often so they can remain comfortable, but that's more about the round tips than the earbuds themselves. Virtually every pair of earbuds on the market has the same exact tips, so that will be unavoidable.
