Mackie MP-220 durable noise cancelling comfortable in ear monitors for musicians drummers and singers

I bought what I thought would be a pair of good quality in-ear monitoring headphones for me to use during playing and recording sessions. Unfortunately, after being sent replacements for the first set due to what appeared to be a faulty connection within the left earpiece, I suffered the same issue with the replacement pair. I have now returned them for a refund and will try a different manufacturer next time.

The connection was very loose allowing the output to constantly drop. Not what you want when moving around.

I will be returning these as the sound quality wasn't great.. just average to poor. Definitely not worth the £108 that was paid for them. Virtually no bass response even after trying all of the ear tips and wetting them to get a good seal - as instructed via the manual. Mids seemed overcrowded, the treble seemed okay, but not supported by the lack of low end rending the overall sound quite tinny and unfulfilling. Tried on a variety of headphone amps/mp3 players/phones and the same lacklustre audio characteristics. Noise Isolation was again average and on par with over the ear headphones (AT-M50Xs), I'd expect more from IEMs that are marketed as "noise isolating".They do seem robust however and the cable felt like it wasn't going to break any time soon, not that it matters for me!I'd shop around if you're thinking of buying these! Hope this is helpful for others!
