Good for the price

I just bought an additional pair since I purchased PX around a year ago. For $79, I think it is good for the price. I just hope the QC would be better than PX since my old PX was channel imbalanced after a few months of use... But only time can tell...

Great choice for this price

I have several headphones, and I can say that these have excellent build quality. They provide a neutral sound. They require quite a bit of amplification. For the price, it remains an excellent purchasing option.

Nice sounding

I did like the sound of the P1’s after using them over time.. but regardless of tip that I selected. .. I never gained a comfort level while wearing them. I must have an odd ear shape after reading so many reviews who speak of them as comfortable. I ended up giving them to my nephew and he loves them.

Sounded good for a couple of months

Volume in right bud all of the sudden fell to like 10% of the left. Switched ears, and switched cables to make sure the problem was the earbud. After cleaning, the sound is still very quiet...they were good for the couple of months that they lasted, but I've owned $5 earbuds that lasted longer than these.

Not the pinnacle of audio, not even the price point.....

Well, I do have a bit to say about these. They are interesting at best, and kinda bad at worse. They sound kinda flat, boring, but that can be kinda ok. They kinda, and I mean kinda, bring out vocals. Vocals are probably the most forward and that is kinda nice. Bass is fast, but way too reduced. It is barely perceivable, and not really felt. Highs are sort of thin. Again nothing really stands out too much so they just kinda leave you wanting more. I also got a bit of an imperfection in mine. I will be posting a picture when I get around to it. For the price they don't seem worth it to me. I would recommend the moondrop aria or the ikko oh1 at this price point. I do like using them for sleep tho, comfort is ok, and build is 2/3. The flatness is nice for sleep.

JustSayingI’d make exactly the same response to your review as I did to SniperDave - you almost certainly don’t have the right eartips and they aren’t fitting into the ear canal correctly. Canalphones aren’t like regular earphones, they need a solid fit to seal the ear canal, otherwise there will be relatively little bass. Most people use Comply foam eartips, but I always use triple-flange eartips, which MeeAudio supply, but also it helps if the eartips are moistened before inserting them, along with pulling the outer edge of the ear outwards with the other hand, this opens up the ear canal allowing the eartip to slide in and giving a better seal. Something else which helps is getting a different cable - I recently bought one from Penon Audio, which is a braided cable using a very soft outer, with a Lightning connector, a USB-C version is also available. This has made a significant difference to the sound quality, it’s more open and detailed, and bass seems to be tighter, and deeper at times; this is entirely dependent on the quality of the original recording. Most of my listening is to downloads from Apple Music at 256Kb, but I have a significant amount ripped at 320Kb from CD, and I honestly cannot tell the difference using the P1’s, especially with the new cables. I’ve spent a lot of time since I got the cables listening to a range of music, I finally went to bed at 2.30am yesterday! Here’s a link to the cable, for anyone interested, and it’s not expensive, either, which makes it even better. In fact, I’m getting a second cable for my other pair of P1’s, which were an original Drop offer with a dark blue finish. The fact that I was impressed enough with my original pair of Pinnacle P1’s from MeeAudio to buy a second pair from Drop should be enough confirmation that I’m really very impressed with them, and I have Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10’s, which were around £250-300 to compare them with, they compare very favourably. All I want now are some custom-fit eartips, but they cost more than the ‘phones, so they’ll have to wait a bit!

PhasmainmachinaLook, I am well aware about tips. They can completely change tonality. I have a good seal. There is no issue there. The included with not mic is a higher impedance than the mixed cable. So the tonality changes a little bit there. But regularly, cables don't affect tone unless they are of a significantly higher/lower impedance than the included cable. I tested amped, different tips, the full shabang. I settled on final audio tips. Still not great. Only ok. 3/5

Looks good and sounds good..

It's clear that this model is a product of love ). The packaging is traditionally two-layer, a thick black cardboard box housed in a "super cover" of plain cardboard. All modern polygraphic technologies such as embossing, relief printing, the combination of glossy and matt surfaces were used in decorating this external cover. Everything looks very neat and appropriate. On the back, there are the traditional technical specifications in different languages, and on the front a photo of the headphones. On one of the side edges, there is a unique serial number assigned to each model. The sound of the P1 has also clearly been worked on. Inside the body, in addition to the radiator, there is a special resonator for the tweeters, allowing them to play with more energy. Because of this, by the way, the sound of P1 is unusual and unlike anything else. The headphones are light, with a very detailed delivery. Like many high-end models, Pinnacle is very demanding on the source, the fit, and the selection of earpieces. The COMPLY foams, for example, slightly hide the HF, while the multi-flange attachments add bass, albeit at the cost of a slight deterioration in detail. After a series of experiments, I settled on the large single-flange nozzles, as the best show the positive features of the P1. Bass is fast and very detailed. The main emphasis in bass delivery is on the midrange area. Deep bass is present, but sometimes it is a bit lacking in quantity. That is, when you need it, it marks its presence rather clearly, but not completely confidently. I suspect that it was in the plans of the developers, as the headphones are clearly designed for serious genres, which do not imply the dominance of the sub-bass, and the overemphasis on the deep bass could prevent the "middle" from revealing. As for the midrange, it's not hard to praise them this time. Certainly, they are very good, detailed, emotional, and so on and so forth. But here the P1 took it one step further and managed to surprise. The fact is that these headphones build for me the most incredible imaginable scene: wide, deep, with excellent instrument separation and three-dimensional positioning. I don't know how they do it. MEE Audio's flagship is particularly good with genres that benefit from resolution and surround-chamber music, vocals, instrumental styles, and so on. Especially vocals, to my ears, are just incredibly good. The high frequencies are the part that will cause a great deal of controversy around the P1. The headphones have been tweaked to deliver high frequencies with excellent resolution and energy. Having said that, they don't overdo the amount, coming off harsh, for my taste, and yes the sibilance area has been taken under control, but the amount of information in the HF range being played off by this model is truly staggering. I strongly suspect that this is what accounts for the characteristics of the imagined scene I wrote about above. Recordings with an abundance of percussion sometimes reveal themselves in unexpected ways and sound in new ways. In fact, certain disadvantages, or should I say peculiarities, also come from here. Firstly, P1 is definitely not the headphones for HF-phobias, their high frequencies are not crushed, and so they will not suit those who avoid this range at all costs. Secondly, these headphones are incredibly critical of source and recording quality, old albums with poorly matched treble will sound very poor, and players that do not have good control over the range will have a metallic "squeal". In general, great headphones need the right components. The headphones are unusual and very stylish. In general, I won't recommend these headphones to everyone, but if you listen to serious music and have a suitable source - I advise you to pay attention to Pinnacle P1.

I recommend using an amp with these iem's!

To get the best possible sound quality from these earphones, you'll need a balanced cable and an amp for these. Although a phone will drive these earphones. You'll be getting a underpowered and a muddy version of a decent iem (in-ear monitor). 50 ohms isn't a lot when talking about headphones but for earphones it is. Most item's that I have tested range anywhere from 9.6 ohm - 32 ohm, usually. So I used a Fiio BTR5 and a Qudilex 5K Bluetooth dac/amp for testing. Along with a Linsoul balanced 2.5mm cable. These are a natural and pretty neutral sounding earphone. For a single dynamic driver, the replay is very smooth and detailed. Not fatiguing to listen to and no harsh siblance issues.
