M&M Ear Bud Headphones Unripping & Review
I got an unboxing video for you all today, only there’s no actual box. I found a pair of M&M Ear buds (made by Maxell) on sale for $9.99CAD at my local London Drugs and couldn’t resist picking up a pair for myself. They came in 5 different colors (Pink, White, Blue, Orange, and Red) and I was going to go with the classic iPod white but ended up with since that’s an actual M&M color.
I’ve had a about a week or so to play with them and I have to say that I’m very pleased. I’m no audiophile by any means so if you’re looking for a serious review, you’re going to have to look elsewhere. I found the sound to be decent and comparable to my generic Apple branded ear buds if not better. However, I did notice a bit of tin and the sound was bass-ier and deeper than normal. They sit quite comfortably in the ear but I had to change to the medium sized buds because the ones that were initially in the video were too small. My greatest surprise was the amount of noise cancellation. Since they are in-ear headphones, I expected a bit more of noise cancellation than my Apple headphones, but the cancellation performed up to par with the JVC Air Cushion, Sony MDR EX32LP and Skullcandy Smokin Buds. All the ones I mentioned retail around the $40-$50 CAD range so this is an awesome buy in that respect.. One last thing I have to mention though is that after a week’s use, the M logo on my buds have now faded a little so that’s a bit of a disappointment. However, if you’re Bottom line, if you are a M&M fan and just want some replacements for your worn out generic headphones, this is a must buy.
Pros:
- Great price
- M&M inspired
- Excellent Noise Cancellation
- 5 different colors
- 2 different sized ear cushions
- ‘lifetime’ limited warranty
Cons:
- M&M design fades over use
- Tinny sound
