Product Description
The MEE audio Universal MMCX audio cable kit is the perfect way to connect just about any IEM in your collection. That’s because this setup comes complete with three dedicated termination adapters so you can use your MMCX-connected headphones or earphones with virtually any device you’d need Read More
They serve the purpose for which I got them (2.5mm balanced with MMCX connectors... and adapters are a bonus).
At $25: quite good, can't really complain
At $45 including shipping: perfectly fine though it feels less like a deal
At >$60 after import duties where I am: I'm glad I have them as I can now use my IEMs on the balanced output of my DAC (and elsewhere thanks to the adapters) but I do have doubts about the quality
At the normal (non-Drop) price of $100: I think I might be annoyed and considering a return
Why: the cable, which one might argue is a rather important part of the whole, feels plasticky and a bit cheap. It has kinks in it from the packaging which as yet have not come out and unless I'm mistaken, it is twisted not braided (which is different). The plastic housing of the MMCX connectors looks and feels on the cheap side as well.
I'll include a photo which shows how the cable lies when I try to lay it in a circle - I specifically tried to work all those kinks out so it made a circle and yet... well you can see for yourself the 'memory' it has.

I am admittedly focusing on the niggles but "are they functional" - yes, "do they do what I need of them" - also yes, "will they last" - ... time will tell.
I haven't been able to enjoy my Sennheiser IE 300s because of the lousy cables it comes with. I haven't bothered with swapping cables because of reading that the IE 300s don't take standard MMCX cables. But since these MEEs came with adapters, I thought that I could make use, even if I couldn't get them to fit. Turns out I did have to mod the iems--I trimmed the red and black rings (L/R indicators) off so the connectors could snap in. Once I did that, they fit (other folks have mentioned that there are adapters out there, but I didn't want to add a potential failure point). Happy with the results-I like the new cable much more than the ones my iems originally came with. Here are pictures of the plastic rings I cut off, and what the cables look like when connected.
