Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows I spend a lot of time in coffee shops. I primarily use earphones when I am trying to get stuff done, or traveling on an airplane, to block out the noise. If I were to describe the sound I would say their bassier than I would like, and the highs are not nearly as smooth as my Shures were. They're more "shrill" in that regard. But, with a little EQ adjustment they sound, for lack of a better word, good. Not by any fancy noise-cancelling technology, but just good, foamy isolation, from the tips that come in the box. Yeah, for $40 you get a good set of earphones that block out sound really well. The build quality is better than it should be, and the sound is not only good, but "Sound-Isolating". If you're like me - not ready to be spending several hundred dollars on Pro IEMs, but still want something that sounds good, then these are a no-brainer. Until then, these fit the bill just fine. Yeah, that's not much of an assessment, I know, but I'm just passing time here until I can pull the trigger on another set of $500 earphones. So, we have some nice packaging, but how do they sound? Well, they sound like the best $40 earphones I've ever heard. I promptly opened it and was surprised by the quality of the packaging - it felt very high-end.Īll this for $40? Yup. Two days later a lovely, smiling, Amazon Prime box arrive with the acquired loot. So, I checked on Amazon and there they were for $40, in Clear no less (just like my Shures)! I figured for $40 bucks I'd take a chance on these. ![]() After the 4th, or 5th review I was thinking there must be something to these things. The first review I found for them was overly effusive, which to me is a dead give-away for not believing it, so I kept looking. I don't remember exactly how I got around to finding the MEEs, but I'm glad I did. I have since been using my Apple EarPods, or my wife's Beats Solo headphones, while I bide my time replacing my lost Shures.Įvery now and then I'll do a search on the InterWebs ™ for "best earphones under $100". I've tried a few with poor results. :-)Ī few months back I lost my beloved Shure SE525-CL In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) due to carelessness on my part (for which I have imparted unending flagellation upon myself). Yes, I am aware this has nothing to do with Wi-Fi, BAD, or otherwise, but we Wi-Fi guys (and gals) like to have nice things, don't we? Also, it's good to have some decent "buds" (earbuds) when studying, or working from say, a coffee shop. Estimated reading time: 3 minutes, 12 seconds.
