JUNE2013M6M9P

Hi everyone,

I wanted some new budget earphones that had some cred so I turned to Head-Fi to get some opinions and found that the M9 and M6 were the most bang for buck within the $20-$30 range. I went onto the MEElec website and found the prices were good but not good enough so I emailed Mike at the company and asked if he could do a deal for all OzBargainers as the last deal went pretty well.

This was Mike's response:

Good news - I got the OK to do the M9P at $10.99 and the M6 at $12.99, which I think are our lowest-ever prices.

There is a single coupon code - "JUNE2013M6M9P" - for both. It will provide up to two units per order at this price. Mixing and matching is fine. I've made the code good through June 25th.

M9P

  • The only difference between the M9 and M9P is that the P Version has a microphone.
  • CNET's best budget IEMs 2010, 2011, 2013
  • 4.5/5 stars on Head-Fi

Reviews

CNET
Head-Fi

They come in two colours:

Black
Silver

M6

  • Good for sports as they hook around your ear
  • Comes in a variety of colours
  • 4.5/5 stars on Head-Fi

Reviews

CNET
Head-Fi

They come in seven colours

Black
White
Clear
Purple
Orange
Teal
Pink

Shipping

  • Shipping is $8.95 for one pair via USPS First Class International Mail
  • An additional pair is shipped with no extra shipping costs.
  • However, there is a limit of two per customer but you can mix and match.

Coupon is only valid for M6 and M9P

NB: I am receiving no monetary benefit from this promo. Just trying to help us all to get a good deal.

    USPS first class shipping to Aus $8.95. Total for the MP9 = $19.94 USD ($21.60AUD).

    I used to own a pair, but lost them. I remember they were pretty good.

        you can't, but no one said you could.

        USPS first class shipping to Aus $8.95. Total for the MP9 = $19.94 USD ($21.60AUD).

        The MP9 = $21.60AUD, as i said before, spend another $4-6 and vsonic start to be available

          Cheapest I can find is $34 from eBay. That's more like $12, double what you first quoted.

          With that $12, I can get another pair of M9Ps and still have change :)

        • Aids on 21/06/2013 - 22:41

          I got mine for around $28 a few months back, exchange rate maybe?
          Either way you might have $12 in your pocket but you'll have inferior earphones too…

          I like how this Aids muppet makes his comment several hours ago, lets it fester to get a few positive votes, and then comes in the next day to downvote the bargain, making it tougher for others to downvote and reneg his neg.. What a spud.

        • tdw on 22/06/2013 - 15:34

          i wasn't too happy with the sound quality on some pricier meelecs but not bad enough to neg. if they fell apart in a day or so that would be another story..

        • illumination on 22/06/2013 - 16:56
          +1

          Oh so that's how you revoke someone's neg. Cool. "You + community have revoked Aids negative vote"

          @Puff Braddy
          I saw his comment yesterday before he did the neg and I didn't think it was TOO bad (just stating an opinion really). But to then go on and neg it? Nah. !#$^ that. I fixed it.

        • tdw on 22/06/2013 - 17:06

          you can revoke your neg vote on Aids' comment and save some of those precious negs :) his/her neg will still remain revoked. but you have to revoke it quickly if you're the 6th person to neg.

          save money + save on negs = barrrrrgain lol

        • Aids on 22/06/2013 - 17:18
          -2

          Hey puff you onion, I made that comment when this deal was but a few minutes old ya scronk, then when I saw that it had got 200+ pos votes I felt it necessary to give the poll some balance, and draw some attention to an alternate opinion and away from the sheeple thinking these are the best option at this price point. Good theory though turkey.

        • tdw on 22/06/2013 - 17:39
          +1

          perhaps you should read the negative voting guidelines again: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines#nega…

          i reckon most ozbargainers can read the comments and draw their own conclusions without the assistance of neg vote.

          for example, these comments from spazmo http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/107713#comment-1461718 and jlluca http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/107713#comment-1462299. both dispute the OP's opinion but refrained from negging.

        • Aids on 22/06/2013 - 18:17
          -3

          I am familiar with the guidelines, and believe I used my vote appropriately given the state of the poll. Thanks for the condescending advice though.

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2013 - 05:04

          You didn't give the poll balance at all. You can draw attention to other alternatives, but to neg vote it? Not justifiable at all, but nice try. And lol @ scronk, you were really scraping the bottom of the barrel there hey..

        • tdw on 24/06/2013 - 08:55

          of course it isn't condescending to call us sheeple…not at all. one set of guidelines for us, and another set for you.

    You can order a total of 4 by getting 2 of each type (m6 and m9), not sure if more than four would score.
    Shipping cost is still the same ($8.95 US).
    Good deal except for the AUD being low against the USD.

  • pastrydemon on 21/06/2013 - 21:46

    This is exactly what I've been looking for! Phillips ear hooks and audio technica earphones both crapped out.
    Thanks OP!

    Any tips for making them last longer? Is it better to coil the earphones or just stuff them in your pocket? I tried using a case but I felt retarded doing it, it was a lot of bother and my friends gave me weird looks.

    • tdw on 22/06/2013 - 01:33
      +1

      i find that earphones nearly always break near the connector/jack thing. (this bit: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/j3qas.r57j6…) so i started wrapping a thin layer of cloth tape around that area to provide some extra reinforcement.

      personally, i try to avoid coiling them up — i use the shirt clip to secure it to myself even when i'm not using them. then when i do, i don't have to worry about unraveling the tangled mess ;)

      i do coil up the spare earphones i have in my car, but nice and loose so those flimsy wires inside to get too stressed out.

      • pastrydemon on 22/06/2013 - 07:22

        yeah, it's the jack or the y-split that gets it. might try the tape.

    So is the only difference between the M6 and M9's their practicability? One is for sitting still (i.e. on a bus) and the other for active movement (i.e. at the gym)?

    Bought 2 pairs of the M6 last time they were on sale and they have served me well for an absolute heap of runs/workouts. One pair died through sheer overuse - I think I stepped on them and the other pair is still going strong. Very happy to have another 2 pairs in reserve :D

    I could never get the m6's to sit comfortably, but I've gifted 3-4 pairs and everyone else seems to love them. One guy in the office pulled the wires out from the over ear guides and I don't think he ever took them out again, he's out there somewhere right now rocking out no doubt.

    In all honesty why bother?

    If you do your shopping right, you can easily get a set of Sennheiser CX-300 II's, even CX-500's are around $35 shipped with reputable ebay sellers…a much better set of budget buds IMO.

    • tdw on 22/06/2013 - 14:37

      neither of those sennheisers you mentioned have an inline mic, which may be a deciding factor for some people.

      i bought a pair of M11P+ april last year and i have to say i wasn't too impressed with the sound….it's a tad "flat" and the bass not punchy enough for my liking. and the clunky cable winder o_o

      but the accessories that came with it (so many ear tips!, airplane connector, case, shirt clip) sort of made up for its shortcomings.

Now may be I will want to listen in more carefully and try to appreciate music through better a pair than my stock samsung phone pair.

          good call in the end…these are much cheaper and from the reviews, sound better too :p
