The bluetooth adapter cable was a nice addition to my M6 pro. It connected easily, and controls are easy enough. I use them for riding a motorcycle and the cables are curved, and stay curved in the factory shape, not like the original cables that could be shaped, but they went behind my ears and were comfortable under a tight-fitting, low-noise, full-face helmet. The battery life is good, but not great; I can get consistently 4 hours, I got to about 6 hours one time, but I wouldn't rely on it beyond about 5 hours. I was able to use the controls with thick touring gloves on, but it was very difficult and typically took a couple of tries. Overall, I will continue to use them, but I would love a little better battery life, and a little bit bigger buttons.
First off, these can and should sound great!
However, the first BTC1 I ordered had a faulty right connector and it would disconnect at the slightest movement. They sounded great, controls are simple and easy to use, even with gloves, but besides wearing under various helmets, I bought them mainly for the gym, so this was a bit annoying.
I filed a warranty replacement thru MEE support, and honestly it was one of the most painless RMAs I've ever done. They were quick to reply and sent me a new one very fast.
The 2nd set did not have the connector issue, but the sound was quite poor, and the bass was very distorted at all volumes. This seemed like a very simple software issue but, with no method available to correct that, I filed a 3rd RMA. Again, they very promptly sent me a new one.
The 3rd one, I'm glad to say, is quite perfect. Great sound, no connection issues.
Now for my only complaint..
Unlike the other cables in the M6 kit, the over-the-ear loop is not a flexcord wrap and it can't bend to conform your ear so they don't stick in place as well as the corded wires.
So, in summary, a little bit of effort was required on my part as a consumer, but the vendor was courteous and responsive. That is the hallmark of respectable company that will probably see my business again. In the end, I have an outstanding pair of bluetooth earbuds with great sound quality and superb battery life (8 hours, exactly as advertised)

This cable makes the M6 PROs everything you could ask for from in-ear monitors. There is hardly any difference in sound quality between the wired M6's and the Bluetooth adapter, with the only exception being in the playback of lossless audio files. The Bluetooth adapter seems to give a more compressed sound than the hard-wire (just in my opinion). The hard-wire continues to sound just a bit more dynamic and warm. I find Bluetooth earbuds in general to yield a slight metallic sound, and this might add some context for what I am comparing to.
I can hardly complain. I wanted the adapter to make the M6's more versatile for my everyday use when I am not on stage. The Bluetooth adapter does this flawlessly, and with roughly 6 hours of battery life with constant music/audio play. I have not extensively tested the calling functionality.
I would give 4.5 stars for the charging port. It is a snug fit (almost forced) and required some adjustment the first time for a constant charge. I have not had any issues with it since. This is a small issue for me, and if more issues persist I will include an update.
Overall I continue to be baffled at MEE Audio's sound quality for their price. I'll leave a full review of the M6's on that page in case customers are considering buying together. Such a dynamic and crystal clear sound!
Very happy with my M6 headphones. They are my everyday commuter headphones used mostly for podcasts and occasional music. Have had to replace the cable a couple of times over the year and a half or so I have owned them but considering I am anything but cautious with them I don't find that to be a problem especially at this price. Only giving 4 stars because I am not as happy with the remote placement on the newer model. Works fine but I like it lower on the cable.
Love these. And, this generation 2 is even better than the last one. This is the second pair I have owned and I use them not with MEE’s but with my dual driver Ziva Trance iem’s. The combo works perfectly and the sound I get is truly incredible. My last MEE cable lasted over a year and a half. I regularly use them on stage (I’m a musician/vocalist) as well as for recreational listening, so they get well used. I’m impressed they lasted that long.

I always get these to replace my cables because it is much cheaper than buying new earphones.
The only problem I have with them is that the metal wire to form the earphones around your ear will eventually break in or poke through the protective covering if you are always messing with the shape of them. That's the main reason I get new ones.
I have had the MEE M6 wireless and wired headset for a few months now, and have to say, they are by far
the best value I have found! The sound is excellent, they have the flexibility of being used either wireless or
corded, and the ear buds included offer several options, which make them a great value at the price!
These are great. I use them in bed and they do not impede my sleep or interfere with my ears being down in the pillow as they fit flush. Also the included isolation budsxwork vey well. No more hissing from the crap machine next to me
I'm using these wireless earbuds both on motorcycle and for daily use. Great out of box experience, well manufactured, easy to pair. Needs a flawless equalizer app to match the hardware (iOS/Android), needs longer battery life, and Fast (10W) Wireless Charging.
Great way to go from direct plugin to BT. Only downside is if you tighten them behind your head the microphone doesn’t work well.
