 It's always easier to write reviews about headphones with hilariously glaring issues than those without them. Unfortunately for us, the MM50 iP headphones are really pretty good. They have great audio quality with ridiculously low distortion levels, are comfortable, come with a microphone, and only cost $100.
We only have three complaints, two of which aren't very important. First of all, the MM50 iPs don't isolate as well as other in-ear headphones. They still scored above the Bost QuietComfort 2 and 3, and well above the average result for our site, but there are in-ear headphones out there that can do a better job. Secondly -- and this is partially responsible for the previous issue -- the MM50 iPs don't come with many sleeve options. Had there been a triple-flange sleeve available, we're sure they would've isolated much better.
The one main issue has to do with durability. The plug sticks out and the MM50 iPs don't have a great cord guard. We can see the cable bending sharply at the plug, getting pulled and just generally accruing wear and tear quickly. If you're keeping your media player in your pocket, try to keep the plug facing upwards.
All this being said, the bad sides don't even come close to marring how good the MM50 iPs are; they scored more in their audio performance section then most of the other headphones we've reviewed. They're currently #1 on our rankings, with a healthy margin between them and second place. The MM50 iP headphones are well worth their $100 tag.
