Plantronics BackBeat Sense Special Edition vs MEE audio Pinnacle P1

The highs, mids and lows are all fairly balanced, and there are no frequencies that stand out from the rest. Audio is clear and with minimal distortion. These are versatile sounding cans that will work with a wide range of music genres.

These can play music continuously for 18 hours from a full charge before the battery is depleted.

The main difference of the Special Edition over the standard Sense is that it has a special nano-coating applied, making these headphones splash-proof. Splashes of sweat and other liquids should not pose a problem for these headphones.

There are built-in sensors inside the BackBeat Sense which detects if you are taking off or putting on the headphones. Music is paused/resumed depending on the detected motion.

The BackBeat Sense features a slim and lightweight design, making these very easy to wear even for extended periods. The headband also features a hammock-style mechanism which feels quite soft and comfortable.

The value and craftsmanship that the Pinnacle P1 offers is hard to beat at this price range. They are durable due to the metal earpieces. The stand-out build quality is complemented by a detailed and balanced sound, braided cables and a large assortment of ear tips.

The sound signature is very balanced, with no frequencies taking over the rest in terms of extension. The highs are clear and airy, but do not sound harsh. The mids are smooth and rich yet are not too forward and do not creep up on the highs. The bass has good level of punch and extension, but is also controlled so there's no booming and won't muddy up the mids.
This sound makes these in-ears great for those who value sound accuracy over a fun and boosted sound, and as such work really well with all types of music.

The earpieces are made from a zinc alloy that gives them a solid, high quality feel. The thick and flexible cables, firm yet flexible ear tips and a leather carrying case are also similarly of good quality.

The cables have good thickness and flexibility. Also, they are braided and will not tangle easily, even when bunched up in a tight space like inside your pocket or bag.

Despite being made out of metal, the earpieces are actually quite lightweight. Combined with the good fit, these headphones stay in the ears pretty well without tiring your or ears or causing discomfort. This makes them very easy to wear for hours straight.

There are 2 cables included, one with an in-line mic/remote and the other purely for audio listening. This gives you the choice of extra functionality or a less intrusive cable with no dangling mic.

You get 6 silicone tips in different types and sizes along with 6 sizes of foam tips. Also included is a quality leather carrying case which should add extra convenience and protection when bringing these on the go.

The microphone produces sound with good clarity and detail, so talking over the phone with these should not be a problem.
