Trouble is I'm pretty skint in the run up to Christmas to shell out on another really decent pair of earphones. So I did some reading up over at head-fi.org and looked in the budget range, and the only pair with a mic were the MEE M2P's. From head-fi.org : Specs: Driver: Dynamic | Imp: 16 Ω | Sens: N/A | Freq: 20-20k Hz | Cord: 4 L-plug Nozzle Size: 5.5mm | Preferred tips: Soundmagic PL30 bi-flanges Wear Style: Straight down or over-the-ear Accessories (1/5) – Silicone single-flange tips (3 sizes) Build Quality (4/5) – The conical housings are metal and feel quite solid. Like all of Meelec’s re-designed IEMs the current Ai-M2 has some of the best cabling in the realm of budget-fi. Strain reliefs are replaced with some clear heatshrink but I expect the cabling to hold up Isolation (2/5) – The massive port in the rear of the conical housing prevents these from isolating significantly Microphonics (4.5/5) – The cable is identical to the one on the M11. Very slightly microphonic when worn cord-down Comfort (3.5/5) - Typical straight-barrel IEMs. They are quite light and can easily be worn cord-up or down Sound (4/10) – While Meelec’s other $10 IEM, the SX-31, sounds good for the bargain bin, the M2 sounds good, period. They can genuinely be fun to listen to. They have a medium-sized soundstage, the bass, mids, and treble are all there, and they can put out a good bit of detail. The bass has a fair bit of punch but can be too boomy for my liking. The midrange is fairly forward and quite smooth. Treble is recessed and rolls off on a bit at the top but is but also smooth and not at all unpleasant. Value (8/10) – Despite the booming bass and lack of high-end sparkle the M2s are solid IEMs in their own right and easily at the top of their class. The inclusion of some bi-flange tips would have been nice but the build quality easily makes up for that at the price point. Pros: Solid build quality, comfortable, mostly good sonic characteristics Cons: Boomy bass MEE M2P review over at Take Bigg: http://www.takebigg.com/audio-video/review-on-mee-m2p-in-earphones For a half decent pair of earphones with a built-in mic @ £9.99 you really can't go wrong for a pair of earphones that you might only need to fill a gap.
