The MEE audio CORE series in-ear monitors focus on the essentials, delivering the audio performance of premium monitors at a fraction of the cost.

Nearly two decades of building in-ear monitors for audiophiles and musicians taught us where budget matters: audio performance, reliability, and ergonomics. The CORE series spends it where you'll hear it, starting with the drivers - and leaves the extras up to you.

MEE audio CORE 2 in-ear monitors in Clear and Black, shown side by side with gold 2-pin connectors and silicone eartips. Above them, a frequency balance graphic shows three bars labeled Bass, Mids, and Highs, with bass tallest, mids slightly lower, and highs lowest.

 Hybrid Dual-Driver Sound 

A 10 mm moving coil subwoofer and a balanced armature tweeter work together to deliver deep bass, great clarity, and crisp detail - a dynamic, energetic sound signature that suits everything from stage monitoring to everyday listening.

Suggested for: drummers, bassists, and anyone who wants a more dynamic sound

The moving coil driver moves air the way a real speaker does, giving kick and bass guitar physical impact, while the fast-responding balanced armature keeps vocals and instruments clean and distinct.

  Hybrid Triple-Driver Sound  

A 10 mm moving coil subwoofer and two balanced armature drivers work together to deliver accurate bass, superb clarity, and detailed, extended treble - with added headroom and resolution across the mids and highs for balanced, reference-style sound that suits everything from stage monitoring to critical listening.

Suggested for: vocals, guitars, mixing and production

Splitting the work between two balanced armatures gives each driver less to do, adding headroom and resolution through the midrange and treble - so layered parts stay separate instead of blurring together.

 Detachable Cable 

The 47-inch (1.2 m) cable attaches via a sleeved 0.78 mm 2-pin connector. Cables are often the first thing to fail on any wired earphone; if that happens, detachable cables let you replace the cable, not the monitors.

 Sound-Isolating Design

The sealed in-ear design reduces outside noise, so you hear less of the room and more of your mix. Better isolation also means you can monitor at lower, safer volumes and still hear everything you need.

 Locked-In Ergonomic Fit 

Ergonomic earpieces and flexible over-the-ear earhooks provide a secure fit and keep the cable out of the way, while the sliding cable cinch locks the monitors in place - no re-adjusting during long sessions and active performances.

Thinking about adding custom-fit eartips in the future? Consider the MX PRO series hybrid IEMs instead.

Universal 3.5mm Connection 

A standard 3.5 mm stereo plug connects to wired in-ear monitor systems, mixers, audio interfaces, headphone amps, portable players, laptops, and anything else with a headphone jack or monitor out.
