MEMT is back again with another earphone for the people. Today we’re looking at the MEMT X9s Hi-Fi Full Metal Earphone, an IEM with a single dynamic driver and classy red copper shells. The description says it’s designed primarily for games & videos and use with mobile phones.
The X9s comes in MEMT’s regular style box. There’s a cardboard sleeve with an image of the IEM on the front. Under the sleeve is the now-familiar blue box with the model number on the front and a small transparent window, showing the IEMs inside.
Opening the magnetically sealed front reveals the X9s, seated in black foam. Above the earphones is the black storage pouch. Inside the pouch are the included accessories.
The package contents are as follows: MEMT X9s, storage pouch, a product brochure and 3 x pairs of silicone eartips (S, M, L).
Build Quality and Design
Just like their other models, the MEMT X9s has all-metal shells. The shells have a smooth, glossy finish and a trumpet shape that flares out towards the front. There is a small bass port just in front of the cable connector.
On the rear of the shells is the MEMT branding in white text. The angled nozzles have a good lip on them that holds the eartips firmly in place. There’s also a metal mesh covering the end of the nozzles to protect the drivers from ear wax and debris.
Once again we find magnets in the rear of the shells which makes it easy to strap the earphones around your neck when not in use. I find that the magnets also greatly reduce the likeliness of the cable getting tangled too. I like it!
Overall, the build quality is excellent, as I have come to expect from MEMT products. Considering the price, this is a very well-built IEM.
Cable
The cable has a fabric braid cover below the Y-split. Above the split, it has a standard rubberized sheath. It’s quite supple and doesn’t have kinks or any springiness.
There is a lack of strain relief where the cable connects to the shells. Whether or not this affects durability only time will tell. However, microphonics (cable noise) is quite low, which is great.
On the right side of the cable is a metal inline remote and microphone. The remote has 3 buttons which makes it ideal for mobile phones. You can adjust the volume, skip/rewind tracks, answer and end phone calls etc.
The Y-split is metal and has the model number printed on it. There’s also a chin slider; something that every cable should have whether you choose to use it or not!
Comfort and Noise Isolation
The X9s is a very comfortable IEM. This style of shell is tried and tested among several different brands and always works well in terms of comfort.
There is a bit of weight to the metal shells but they’re not at all heavy. The smooth finish and rounded edges all lend to solid ergonomics and I could wear these all day.
The passive noise isolation is about average for this type of earphone. It doesn’t block a great deal of external noise but if you’re listening to music you won’t hear much else. I’d say it’s suitable for most normal everyday situations and environments.
Sound
The MEMT X9s has a V-shaped signature with a boosted bass and treble and slightly recessed midrange. With an impedance of 32ohms, it’s easy to drive from any source, including smartphones but it doesn’t mind being hooked up to a desktop amp either.
