Teenage Engineering TEE0067 M-1 Persoonlijke Monitor, Zwart

lightweight headphone for light packed travels and making music on the go with f.i the TE Pocket Operators

The best for interfacing with Teenage Engineering products like the OPZ, but also brilliant for general online and telephone calls due to the compatability, light weight, comfort and audio quality (both send and return). Its a shame 3.5mm jacks and being fazed out. Sits well on the ear, offers good sound quality for music too and responds well to EQ adjustments. Unfortunately it doesnt offer a good seal like with most on ear headphones, so is less suitable for noisy environments or travel and you should look at full over ear in this use case. I will also note the folding arms are liable to break and TE does not offer replacement earcups, although similar sized alternatives are available that will fit.

A major issue is that the hinge is plastic and therefore fails quite quickly with normal use.Really good quality sound. And decent microphone (but the microphone is a narrow band range).

Tried so many different headsets while working from home - wired and wireless, over-ear and in-ear, consumer-grade and professional-grade, casual and audiophile, etc... Without spending a lot of money on interface modules, there were not many choices for headsets. I've been looking at M-1 for more than a year because I don't know whether I need a sound-mixing style headset. Then, I found a used one (almost new condition) at reduced price. So I snatched this for a trial.Comfortness: I was hesitant on "on-ear" style headset because it might cause fatigue or discomfort after long uses (4-5 conference calls a day, 30- 60 mins duration). Previously I used Sennheiser and Jabra headsets (callcenter style) and in-ear style headset (Razer ifrit) - I switched back and forth so that I didn't end up with ear infection... after long hours of usage with M-1, it does give you some discomfort, and little sweats as well. However, it was actually quite comfortable to wear for an hour-long call (not so bad at all). This might be varied among people since we have different sizes of head. It does have enough compression feeling so that earpieces are securely placed, but not have too much force to squeeze your ears/head (I wear a 7 1/4 football helmet with a beanie). I need to extend the earpieces all the way to the end and it will fit me (again, this would be up to your head size/shape). Overall, it was okay for me (lucky!!).Sound: audio quality would be the most positive aspect of M-1 - rich, not too much bass, somewhat neutral, almost no enhancement. Well, this is what I really like since I am not a musician. I wanted to hear others' voice clear without any enhancement via whatever smart people invented over years. Just plain and simple. Mic quality is decent, not perfect, but good enough for crisp conversations (no distortion, echo, static noise, none). I think it is an uni-directional mic since it would not pick up surrounding sounds too much. Boom mic is long enough to locate the mic at the optimal location (for me, it would be just below the lower lip so that it would not pick up "p" too much, and I can sip my coffee easily). I use this for all communications (computer, tablet, phone) and sound quality is great in both inputs and outputs. There is some sound bleeding, but acceptable (not so much as open-back headphones). Its sound feels like weaker Grado SR80e (just my personal opinion).Build Quality: metal frame with cushioned earpieces. It feels like 80s' Walkman headset with fancy form earpads. For carrying purpose, earpieces can be folded inward.Not So Good: wire is little short. I am using usb audio enhancer (from Razer ifrit since it has a mute button) and its would be okay. If you connect this directly to your laptop or computer, you might have only one sitting position, unable to stand and move. Another thing I need to address is limited function of its universal button. It seems working on phone/tablet (pause/play/next/previous), but didn't work on computer. Not a deal breaker.Overall, this is a reasonably-priced tiny workhorse headset with rich sound and good mic - not only for great conference calls, but for music lovers while working. This would be for music creators, but also for people who work from home and love music!!! Enjoy!!!

Tienen una construcción aceptable de buena calidad para el precio, en relación la calidad del sonido fue una grata sorpresa. El uso que yo le doy es cotidiano solo musica que si escucho en alta fidelidad, pero para mí son una excelente opción por lo compactos, algunos que son de mayor tamaño no los aguanto mucho tiempo por el peso o por lo rígidos. Estos son muy cómodos y las almohadillas aislan bien el sonido.

Ho preso queste cuffie principalmente per giocare con chat vocale. Non ho optato per le classiche cuffie da gaming semplicemente per una ragione estetica: non so perché ma quelle da gaming sono un tipo di cuffie dall’apparenza (spesso) molto cheap e con un design che cerca di essere inutilmente aggressivo, cosa che non apprezzo. Tornando a queste Teenage Engineering M-1 ci tengo fin da subito a confermare che funziona tutto perfettamente su Windows e su Mac, sia input che output. La scatola contiene le cuffie, un cavo audio e il microfono esterno: lo chiamo “esterno” perché in realtà le cuffie sono già dotate di un microfono integrato nel padiglione sinistro, ma per una maggiore qualità si consiglia di collegare quello esterno. Iniziando dal microfono, come detto quello integrato non è il massimo ma funziona, mentre quello esterno oltre ad essere di ottima qualità, può essere staccato ed attaccato al bisogno e può inoltre essere connesso sia nel padiglione destro che sinistro. Le cuffie poi sono dotate di un tastino giallo che prevede le funzioni di tasto play/pausa, rispondi/chiudi chiamata oppure attiva/disattiva microfono, e funzionano tutti con una pressione singola, mentre premendolo due o tre volte rispettivamente si andrà alla canzone successiva o precedente. Piccola chicca finale che ho scoperto solo dopo l’acquisto, è che queste cuffie possono essere collegate in daisy-chain ad altre M-1 in modo da poter ascoltare la stessa canzone con un altra persona che possiede le stesse cuffie, abbastanza inutile però l’idea è carina. In conclusione, sono cuffie che vanno bene più o meno per gli utilizzi più disparati, anche se hanno comunque alcuni difetti: stringono un po troppo le orecchie dopo sessioni di 2-3 ore, i padiglioni sono un po troppo piccoli, cosa che le rende ulteriormente scomode, ed infine scaldano anche un po’.Prezzo altino ma è il marchio Teenage engineering.
