The M-Duo's might seem pricey but are definitely worth the price! Compared to the iBeats, they ridicule them. They are great for any type of music from english to spanish. The dual drivers provide detailed mids and highs and clear, booming lows!! To get a better idea see my review! Overall mids/highs: 9/10 & lows: 10/10. Don't hesitate, buy them. You won't be dissapointed

When it comes to headphones, I'm *really* picky. I've owned 3 or 4 pairs of Skullcandys, a couple pairs of Shures, a few Sonys, a pair of JBuds, and even some Audio Technicas. But I've become a huge fan of MEElectronics. This relatively unknown name puts out great products at unbelievable prices. I own their M6, S6, M9, N9, and A121 and love them all. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, as with any set of headphones, but the value they deliver has convinced me that the high price tag of bigger name-brands is high only because of the name.Well, I broke down and decided to try out the M-Duo, since I love MEE and my dual-driver Shures were showing their age. To put it briefly, I'm blown away by these M-Duos. The dual driver gives them the incredibly deep and punchy bass of expensive Skullcandys or MEE's M9 model, while also reaching levels of clarity and crispness heard only in balanced armature models (like MEE's A121). The dual-drivers really do give you the best of both worlds. You don't have to choose between deep bass and great clarity, like you do with single-driver headphones.
Absolutely amazing.
And MEE includes loads of silicone tips, so it's easy to get the perfect fit and the best possible sound. The mic and remote work perfect with my iPhone and my MacBook.
And the packaging is really fancy and feels very high-dollar, if you're into that sort of thing. ;-)
Bottom line: I'd buy these dual-drivers before any Shure dual-drivers that'll cost you more than twice as much! I'm very, very impressed.I'm an earphone addict always looking for my next new earphone high. Among many other mid priced earphones, I own the klipsch s4 and MEE151P which are really good headphones, but like any good addict I needed to step up to a great set of earphones with a mic/remote and dual drivers. The drivers are key components of good earphones and the more the better. High priced earphones like the shure se425 have dual drivers for $279, or the se525 with triple drivers at $469 but neither had the mic/remote. I needed a set with good cable wires because I use them throughout the day while working. The Sony's with 3 or 4 drivers were good options in the $200-$300 range, but reviewers were disappointed in the cable quality. I opted to give the M-Duo Driver a try due to the two dynamic drivers, great price, and my positive experience with the Mee151p.
As a college music major Im accustomed to listening for all sounds. The sound through all frequencies is spectacular. The instruments are well balanced and clean. The bass has a tight natural boom that is powerful and not exaggerated. They have the best "quality bass" I have heard from earphones. The higher the volume the more they come alive. The look, wires and construction is very good. I cant recall hearing and liking the sound of cymbals and drums sounding this good together through earphones. Because they are dynamic drivers (air moves the speaker) like concert speakers, I believe that contributes to a more natural sound over the balanced armature driver types (which is now a topic of debate).
I have not tried the $200+ earphones, and not certain I want to spend the extra $200-$400 only to find the sound isnt much better if at all (as many of those reviewers have stated). These earphones have cured my addiction for something better sounding. But I will be the first to buy a triple driver version whenever MEElectronics makes it. For now I'm perfectly content enjoying these great earphones---and I still cant believe are only $80.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.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.
