Today's Bonus:
EDM, Electronic Dance Music, has become much more than a genre, it is a culture. These headphones bring it all home.
Open the box and you'll find attractively packaged (hint hint to someone thinking of getting these as a gift) headphones as well as a round case with a zipper matching the color. I chose purple, so the purple and black case is perfect. Inside are an assortment of 3 additional sets of eartips, a small, large (the medium is already attached) and a flanged for deep ear insertion. Fit and proper insertion are key to getting all the sound these headphones offer. The tip goes all the way in the ear canal, forming a seal for optimal sound. When you get the right tip on and insert properly, these are COMFORTABLE and don't slip out. A bonus inside...true to the EDM current, you have all acess as they show the PLUR with a silicone wristband.
The first thing I did was plug it in to my iPhone and listen to Kaskade's Atmosphere. Yes, these are MADE for multi-layered compositions and pulse. Then I made a few calls using them. I prefer my one ear for calls but it's nice to have this option.
Later it was connected to my PC while cruising new tunes. Lest you think they are only for EDM, they really enhance gaming as well.
Then I compared them to my old but loved Lady GaGa Monster Beats, as well as a few lower end headsets. Granted the Beats are getting a little wonky, but I have to say it's better to be in the MEE EDM Universe. Can't help but notice logo similarity, hmmmm.
My mother was great lover of opera and symphony. I grew up listening to her records, and when I was small I'd ask her to put on Ravel's Bolero and I'd lie down, listening to it build.
Need to get out of your skin for a while? Put these on, lie down flat on your back. Hit play, close your eyes, palms up, and just absorb everything.
Now THAT'S kandi for the soul.

Preliminary disclosure: I was sent a product for review.The MEElectronics EDM D1P Headphones provide an interesting listen experience within a certain range of music. Typically, I expect that a headphone should accommodate all musical styles with precision and accuracy. The EDM D1Ps are specifically tuned for use with bass-heavy EDM music. As such, they sound best when listening to something like Deadmau5 or Skrillex.
First of all, the build quality is great. These look terrific. A range of ear pieces are provided so that you can get a good fit irrespective of the size of your ears. They also come with a carrying case, which is very welcome. You might be fine with throwing your iPod earbuds in with your gym gear, but the EDM D1Ps demand a bit more care and protection. They may be well-built, but after spending around $40 on headphones, no one wants them to get damaged. The carrying case neatly solves the problem.
In terms of design, I have no complaints. The headphones look and feel excellent. A common problem with this design is microphonics introduced by vibrations in the headphone cord itself. Essentially, when you have a canalphone design that forms a tight seal in your ear, any vibration in the cord gets amplified and sounds very loud. It's like listening to music through a stethoscope and having someone tap on the listening end periodically. It can really ruin the music. Fortunately, the MEElectronics folks provide a clip that helps reduce this substantially. You may not be able to wear these jogging without some microphonic interferences, but for regular use, the clip helps you avoid this.
The headphones come with a remote, and in testing it with my iPhone, it seems to work just fine. It's a nice feature, especially if you like to listen from an iPod stowed in your backpack or something on the bus.
The only real downside is the midrange and treble when listening to certain kinds of music. Like I said, the sound is great when listening to electronic music with heavy bass. The theoretically ideal headphones offer flat frequency response throughout the audible spectrum. These take a different approach, very similar to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones that are so popular. The Beats headphones really emphasize the low frequencies in a way that make bass-heavy music like EDM and rap sound punchy and exciting. When listening to this type of music, the headphones really make the music pop.
When auditioning these headphones, I did the following: I allowed them to burn in for about 72 hours using a special track that involved white noise and a sine wave sweep. I then tried them with my iPhone playing MP3s, through my iPhone playing ALAC (lossless) files, through my stereo playing vinyl records, and through my dedicated headphone amp and outboard D-A converter playing CDs. I think I gave them a fair shot.
On all systems, they were great with EDM music. The downside is that when you're listening to other types of music, especially when it involves a lot of midrange and high frequencies like jazz, classical, or anything that is primarily acoustic, the middle and high frequencies sound somewhat anemic and shallow. If you plan on listening to anything other than rap, hip-hop, EDM, or electronic in general, these are not for you. The EDM D1Ps are specifically tuned to work with bass-heavy music.
Basically, these are not good as all-around headphones. They are built for a purpose. Provided that you use them for that purpose, you will be pleased. When I was listening to styles like house, trance, progressive house, techno, hip-hop, and tech house, I was quite pleased. When I switched styles and listened to anything else, I was not as happy. Jazz, for instance, mostly involves the midrange, and when the bass is enhanced at the expense of the midrange, the music sounds a little shallow.
They are certainly a step above iPod earbuds. Perhaps it's not fair to use the EDM D1Ps for other types of music and then complain that the midrange and treble weren't pristine.
This is the audiophile take on things. The Beats by Dr. Dre headphones are based around a heavy bass sound profile and great design (they do look great). They are really popular, and MEElectronics gives you a similar sound for a much lower price. It's a great value, provided this is the music that you gravitate toward. I can't blame the EDM D1Ps for not sounding amazing with every single type of music because they were designed for a purpose, and that purpose was heavy, punchy bass. They do it very well.
Really, it comes down to knowing your listening habits. If you've listened to the Beats headphones and you like the sound, these give you the same results at a fraction of the price. They are also very nicely designed in terms of appearance. If you want a headphone for a wide range of music (especially non-electornic music), look elsewhere.
Overall, I am very impressed by the design and appearance of the EDM D1Ps. They a very nicely designed. I have a few issues with the sound quality, which is why I'm giving them four starts instead of five. Because I listen to a lot of electronic music, I'm sure I will use these often. I just wouldn't make them my *only* pair of headphones. They look cool and they sound lively and punchy. If you're an EDM fan or you enjoy the Beats sound, these may be just what you want.
Buy MEElectronics EDM Universe D1P In-Ear Headphones with Headset Functionality (Love/Pink) Now
as an avid user of earphones/headphones I have been through many different brands and styles. I came across these EDM Universe in-ear headphones and thought I'd give them a try. The packaging was well thought of and it shows that MEElectronics puts a lot of thought into putting out a quality product within a quality package, considering that these were under $50.00. I was immediately blown away by such quality sound from a set of in-ear headphones and for the price too! These were designed for EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and all the sounds were crisp and clear. From the mids to the highs to the insane bass I was convinced that i have found my perfect pair of in-ear headphones. I tested these out at the gym and the track and It amazes me even more for these stayed in my ears and haven't fallen out once. So, it definitely got bonus points for that.Breakdown: out of 5 stars

I would definitely recommend these in-ear headphones to the EDM lovers out there. You will not be disappointed.I had recently received these headphones in the mail and not only did it come with extra buds but also a nice zipper case that will come very handy to prevent tangling or damage when i throw my headphones in my backpack. i love the green color and the style of them because they fit so comfortably in my ear unlike the hard feeling of the traditional apple headphones. but it also comes with the handy volume control on the side plus a button to play, pause and double click to change song. definitely love these headphones!After reading the reviews on these headphones, I decided to purchase them. The first thing i noticed when i received them in the mail was the packaging they came in. It's not bulky at all and it even came with a small pouch for holding the headphones when you're not using them. I do a lot of gaming on my laptop and listen to music while playing and while at the gym. The sound quality is the best of all headphones I've used. The previous headphones I used were made by Bose. I loved them because they wrapped around my ear and didn't fall out while running. After using these however, I'll be using these as my primary headphones. Despite the fact that the headphones don't wrap around my ear, they stay in way better than I thought. I love the super lightweight design. It makes running that much better. I think my favorite part about the speakers is how well I've noticed that they silence background noise. Allows you to concentrate on whatever you're doing at the moment. I would highly recommend these to anyone due to the clarity of the headphones and the numerous ways you can utilize them. A purchase that I'm extremely happy about.
