Our Verdict
The Mee M9b are a decent, budget wireless in-ears for mixed usage. They have a somewhat bass-heavy sound that won't be ideal for critical listening, and they do not have the best battery life or wireless range. On the upside, they're compact and easy to carry around on your person at all times. They're also stable and decently comfortable which makes them a good option for sports.
- Portable and stable design for sports.
- Very low leakage.
- Poor battery life and active features.
- Mediocre, bass-heavy sound.
Mediocre for neutral listening. The MEE M9B have a bit too much bass and a poorly balanced mid-range. They also have a closed-back, in-ear design, which can't create a spacious soundstage. This means they won't be ideal for neutral listening but should be okay for more casual use.
Average for commuting. They're compact and fit into most pockets. The in-ear fit also blocks a decent amount of noise but won't be ideal for very noisy environments.
The Mee audio M9b are good headphones for sports. They have a stable in-ear fit, they're wireless and small enough to carry around on your person wherever you go. Unfortunately, though functional, their in-line remote is a bit too large and may cause the earbuds to slip out of your ears during intense physical exercises.
Decent for office use. The MEE audio M9B don't leak much and block noise moderately well, so you can mask the ambient noise of a lively office by playing your audio at higher than average volumes.
Sub-par for gaming. They have a mediocre-at-best mic, lack customisation options and have a bit too much latency to be suitable for gaming.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Betron YSM1000 and MEE Audio M9B Wireless are similar headphones, but the MEE are wireless Bluetooth headphones. They perform quite similarly with bass-heavy audio reproduction, but the MEE have a more sibilant treble range and worse isolation performance. However, their wireless design is convenient, especially for sports. Unfortunately, they don’t have a very long battery life, so the wired Betron might be a better option if you often listen to audio content in a day.
