Audio monitors

Going next level with audio.

Three years ago I saw a Travel Sax project which sounded promising. Couple years ago I chipped into the version 2 on the indiegogo and last Autumn I finally got it in my hands. Very impressed with the size and capabilities of the device, and now I can practice even at night!

But playing it with over-the-ear monitors was causing smoe problems, as you can’t take off the headphones with only one hand, while the other hand is holding the device :). That caused me to play it with in-ear headphones, which I had only wired earpods – easy to work with, average (that was what I thought that days) with sound quality.

And I decided to get something like Shure SE215. Did some research and almost bought them, but the price of around 135,- EUR paused me for some time. Until I got a lead from my friend, How In-Ear Monitors are Making Better Musicians — a video where a guy mentioed a better and cheaper in-ear monitors: MEE M6 PRO, for 50,- USD.

It took some time to finally get them, as I didn’t find them in NL and finally ordered from US, that raised price with shipping and tax costs. But when they came to my place, I was enjoying the sound range, playing around with Logic for the whole evening.

One thing I did wrong, was not buying two of them: I decided to get a bluetooth module from MEE to be used for sport and commutes, but when I saw that I need to change wires to bluetooth everytime, I started doubting if I’ll break them at the end.
