Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Clarity
These headphones are really good at creating complex sounds (for a $50 headphone).
Pro Replaceable MMCX cable
This is pretty common for even budget earbuds/IEMs these days, but it's still a feature that deserves to be called out when a lot of mainstream earbuds don't have this feature. It should be an unforgivable sin to not have a replacable cables at this point due to the ubiquity of the feature and for how common it is for the cable of a set of headphones you use with your phone to fail.
Pro Lightweight and comfortable to wear
Despite being made out of metal, these in-ears are still fairly lightweight, so wearing them for long periods shouldn't be a problem. The included ear tips are also quite soft, providing good cushioning and seal.
Pro Warm sounding with forward mids, smooth highs and deep bass
The highs of these headphones are not too sparkly or airy, yet still has good detail. This results in a smoother sound. Mids are forward and clear, while the bass has good depth without creeping up on the mids.
Overall, these headphones are quite fun to listen to and can work with pop, rock, hip-hop and even metal. These are not the best though if you tend to listen to music with a lot of detail and intricate parts like jazz or classical as these do not offer a high level of detail reproduction.
Pro Durable and tangle-resistant cables
The M2's cable is braided and covered with a sleeving material, making it significantly more durable than other cables. It also makes it extra resistant to tangling.
Pro Solid build quality
The ear pieces are made out of metal and have great fit and finish. Not only does this make them look great, but also gives them a premium feel.
Pro Includes plenty of accessories
With the M2, you get 2 types of ear tips with three sizes each, a shirt clip to prevent the cable from moving around when worn and ear cable guides to help keep the headphones in place.
Cons
Con Vocals slightly shouty
This can be more accentuated before adjusting according to the set of tips, but it's definitely present. For an example of this, try listening to "Unknown Brother" by the Black Keys on a few sets of headphones. In that song Dan Aurbach is singing very emotionally, but isn't quite shouting. Headphones with shouty vocals will present it as him shouting. This is due to a very mild amount of distortion in the midrange frequencies.
Con Bass slightly lacking
Most people aren't going to see this as a true con as what makes these special is that they have a very even, neutral response for the budget sector of headphones.
Con Highs may be lacking for some
The audio lacks sparkle in the higher frequency range, which may be disappointing for those looking for lots of detail reproduction in that range.
Con No in-line microphone
Not really a con, as headphones are primarily for listening to music. However, this can be inconvenient when used with a smartphone and you have to take calls.
