Customer Reviews

balanced sound and affordableReview by KL

Overall

The M1 has a fairly balanced sound with a warmish tone. Good mid-bass, not too little or too much, but the bass notes are a little too thick sounding for my liking. Mids have decent detail and reasonable clarity. Highs are smooth sounding but I wish they were a bit more forward.

The shells are a little small for someone with big fingers, and I can forsee that when someone pulls them from the ear, they will pull via the cable instead of the shell, of course this could add stress to the cable over time. The cable itself has good thickness and looks very sturdy, however it tends to curl up quite a bit and it has average microphonics.

I find that a lot of earphones in the same price bracket as the M1 have similar traits, the sound is not top of the line or at the bottom, it doesn't really excel at anything but they are very pleasing to the ear. (Posted on 5/9/13)

Excellent IEMsReview by Julian

Overall

For the price, these are probably the best you can get. Their tone is great, with good mids and highs, and good bass. They come with Comply foam tips as well, which is a great bonus.

They served me well for a year, after which they wore out from daily use - their only problem is the lack of strain relief on the cups, so after heavy use the wire will break. I've since gone with Fischer Audio DBA-02s, which sound better but not the price difference better. These have exceptional value, and I recommend them highly. (Posted on 4/23/13)

Amazed by the sound of these lil monsters..!!Review by Priyansh

Overall

Can't believe a person can get such clear bass thumping monitors for such a steal! Also, the sound separation is at par with IEM's priced over $50. Absolutely in love with them.
Didn't like the comply tips but others are very comfortable to wear and one can surely find the right fit easily.
It took 1 month after order that these babies were delivered but it was worth the wait. Would surely recommend to many. (Posted on 4/4/13)

Loving ItReview by Sara Lje

Overall

Had this pair for a few months already, and honestly they are amazing. It took a while for them to burn it but once they did the sound quality is so good. Definitely worth every cent I paid. Very balanced sound, great bass support! The build is very good too. For someone who damages their earphones constantly, the hard casing and tough build of the cables are a great bonus. Would 100% recommend for a non-audiophiles with a tight budget, like me (: (Posted on 4/1/13)

Wonderful headphones with deep bass!Review by Mikhail

Overall

I use these headphones with the player Sansa Clip +. Headphones are great: great worked upper and middle frequencies. But the bass is all praise - they are just great! I advise everyone! (Posted on 3/17/13)

Everything i expected of them.Review by Lee

Overall

After having lived with them a few months i can say that these are probably the best IEM's i've ever owned. The sound, comfort and build quality are all unmatched for the price, and that's without all the additional accessories mp4nation provided with them.

Shipping took a while, but i guess that's the price you pay for free shipping. Overall i'd say that these IEM's are an absolute steal. (Posted on 1/27/13)

Price, Clarity, Details and Build.Review by Anton

Overall

My first IEMs was Sennheiser cx400. I found them overpriced and low-detailed. This was my first step from low-quality audio. Then I bought Sennheiser IE6. These earphones have good overall(a little dark) sound balance, they was very good performer in classic music, but i was dissapointed with speed metal and swing, found sound a muddy and low-contrast. So, after M1 I sayd them "Bye!'.
M1 are more-detailed, excellent performer in speed, contrast music. Other music sounds as good as with Ie6 or better, more-detailed. The able of M1 is better(on my taste)- it's not flexible like Senns', but give me guarantee that wire within sheath will not break.
One disadvantage I found that M1 are harder in "pull out of the ears". But...I don't want to pull out them!
Highly reccomended for speed music lovers (Posted on 10/22/12)

Excellent choice,great sound,very good value for moneyReview by Algimantas

Overall

После недельного прогрева и месяца пользования-очень хорошие наушники!!!,и за цену(29,5) особой альтернативы не вижу ,если попадутся по такой цене или дешевле-берите смело не раздумывая(даже ради коллекции),к качеству самих наушников,испонения и комплектации претензий нет,всё на высоте .Звук,если в дух словах то:ВЧ немного приукрашены(устраняется подбором насадок) и может быть немного нехватает некой“кристальности”,с НЧ и СЧ всё внорме,вокал замечателен,баса как пишут в обзорах что много-в моём случае тока тока,пришлось повозится с насадками ,желаемый результат был достигнут только с большими насадками которые мне великоваты(средние красят вч ,пенные уже наоборот подрезают вч и нч),сцена широкая с хорошим разделением инструментов.Итог-к покупке рекомендованы (Posted on 10/11/12)

A Great "Bang for the Buck" BuyReview by Peter Jr.

Overall

It is one of those purchases that you grab considering the low price and not expecting much really. But once you got them and tried them it puts a smile on your face knowing you got more out of your money : ) Why? Setting Sound Quality aside, first look at these you get a really nice packaging, the twisted non-tangle wires which is very easy to keep, the hard case and the comply tips! Now the sound is for another bigger smile..with "oh yes this is a steal!"(Got mine as pre-order so much lower price) in my mind. The sound was clear, not as clear as my other earphone which costs twice but it is really close to it not to mention it is half the price. These became smoother after burn-in(I noticed a very slight sibilance on the highs prior to burn-in, on the same track they are now almost unnoticeable) It sounded good on a wide variety of genres, the vocal is clear and is a step back from being upfront which I like. Instrument separation is also good.

One con though, the left earpiece do not have the metal mesh filter I do not know if this happens often but this is something that should have been seen in Q.A. (Posted on 9/26/12)

Great!Review by Tarik Behlul

Overall

It's better than many earphones which costs more than 100 dollars. The M1 is the best IEM I've own at this price range. (Posted on 9/18/12)

Excellent choice I made!Review by Sobriety

Overall

My old Brainwave Beta (used it for a few years) has given way, so I was looking for a replacement. I am using the Vsonic GR02 as well, but tend to find myself using M1 more than often. If you can get this on offer, I don't think there are many other earphones can beat this warm, musical, natural, detail and clear earphones. (Posted on 9/7/12)

Crystal soundReview by Pablo

Overall

I have been using this headphones since last week and I think I'm already in love with them. I was previously using a pair of Tours from Beats that were quite good, but I think the M1 clearly surpass them in terms of sound quality and sound separation.
They are incredibly comfort to wear... actually they are so small that I have problems removing them from my ears...
Extremely recommended headset.

Surprisingly good !Review by Amit

Overall

These little gems are, well, very small and light even compared to other IEMs.
Deep bass (though not too exaggerated or overburdening) is the first thing you notice when you shove these into your ears. That said, even after listening for a few minutes you realize that you're not really missing out on anything because of the overemphasized bass. The highs and mids are still there - and the mids in particular are crisp and very well presented. Human voices sound wonderfully on these.
Light electronic music such as house/dance, or classic rock sound amazing.
I wouldn't call them very "audiophile" or exceptionally well balanced, since you feel the bass is very much the emphasis and that treble is a bit lacking in some types of music, but they are definitely "fun" and non fatiguing sounding pair of gems that are more then worth their price.
And the Comply tips are just the icing on the this cake...

My previous IEMs were the Sennhiser CX300 that cost 10$ more, and these M1s put them to shame in every possible regard - build quality, comfort, bass mid and definitly treble (which was non existant on the Senns). (Posted on 8/26/12)

Very enjoyable...Review by TanSL

Overall

Bought this IEM as I needed a new pair. Was expecting more bass from the M1 as I was a bass-head. As time goes by, my preference towards music changed. I started loving the M1 even more because of the detailed and clear sounds produced. The bass is very tight and noticeable but it won't shake your head. The sound stage on the M1 are also very impressive.

The M1 is the best IEM I've own at this price range. Would recommend the M1 to anyone who loves music and are on a tight budget. (Posted on 8/18/12)

Warm and natural sounding earphonesReview by justme

Overall

If you're looking for a warm and natural sounding earphones for less than $50 then you should try this one.
M1's sound signature is: warm, musical, natural, detail and clear, with well presented airy sound stage
They give a lot of pleasure, they're of quite good quality (both sound and build)
Cons: a little bit withdrawn lean vocals, lacking in deep well finished bass
(5 stars in this price range, overall 3.9 stars) (Posted on 7/16/12)

That I should tell... These are the best ear-phones for the price!!!Review by Anatol

Overall

Ordered these ear-phones to the friend, and it was possible to listen to their some time. That I should tell... These are the best ear-phones for the price!!! I have ear-phones more expensively, such as, Hifiman Re-Zero, Sunrise IE, was more many different including M1, but for a long time, me is with what to compare. Earlier when they at me were, they to me seemed a bit darkish in a sound, that is with prevalence of low and average frequencies but when I have listened to them now, on Sansa e260 I have been pleasantly surprised is how much balanced they sound. Voices of vocalists very remarkably sound, they as though sound only for you, very intimately. The bass - sound, can a little bit does not get the bottom, but with warming up I think it will improve, high - sparkle and scattered, not the best, but sufficient. A scene very wide and deep enough.
Separate words are deserved by the complete set - it simply excellent. A case for storage and resocks of ear-phones from a strong material, the nozzles of the every possible sizes similar on structure on Sony Hybrid, and, certainly, Comply foam.
Cable above any praises, it soft and twisted, and by sight very strong and reliable.
Summing up the aforesaid - ear-phones the best for the money, are recommended to acquisition.
By the way at mp4nation.com very excellent support service and guarantees, it is pleasant to buy for this site.
Excuse for bad English. (Posted on 6/25/12)

Not a lot of bass but a whole lot of clarity! Review by Allan

Overall

My previous earphone was a Soundmagic PL21, and coming up from that was a huge change. The PL21 had booming bass, which at the time I thought was a good thing. Coming to the M1, that booming bass was gone, but replaced with a much more tight and clearer bass, which was much nicer to the ears. But the thing I noticed most was the clarity of the M1, voices and the entire soundstage sounded so much more crisp. The build quality is extremely good (especially the wire), and the stock tips fit pretty comfortable. I tried using the comply tips included but I didn't really like them. I keep these in my bag everyday and they work perfectly. (Posted on 6/1/12)
