I like the format and structure. Nice work!
Appreciate it! 🍻
Beautiful new set up ! ... You definitely are plugged in .. cheers to another great walk through! ...
🍻
▲ looking good in the new studio and with that fresh cut! 👀
Ayyy thx! This studio is a MAJOR game changer
i'm a big fan of these. for me the m1 is a small practical headphone excellent for phone calls, facetime, and zoom meetings. a lot better than earbuds or ambient laptop mics. i also occasionally use them in a pinch for doodling, sampling etc. surprisingly pretty well built for such a dainty headphone. i'm pretty sure these were a collaboration with aiaia.
Thanks for this addition!
the microphone sound sucks
This is a really useful piece of information. Thank you for that!
My main positives of the M1 is that they are lightweight and comfortable to wear over an extended period.
True!
I like these headphones because they sound good, are comfortable, look good, the cable is straight, the microphone is detachable, it also has an inbuilt microphone, and it’s perfectly fine for mixing and mastering as long as you also check your mixes on other speakers and headphones also, which you should be doing anyway. It’s a designer item at a reasonable price.
My thoughts exactly
I randomly bought the M-1s a few weeks back still waiting for them to be shipped. Stoked to mess with it and the OP-Z together but not expecting much in terms of sound quality. Awesome vid.
Torn between saving up for a TX-6 or an OP-1 Field. Definitely gonna own one of those someday. The OP-Z might be enough for me. Currently craving a proper analog synth tho so might save for a Polybrute instead.
Do you have have any recommendations on a midi controller to use with the OP-Z?
Arturia seems prettier but the MPK mini plus seems enticing. Sorry for writing so much 😅
Awesome vid again, stoked to eventually receive mine.
TX-6 and OP-1 field are both amazing for different reasons!
As for a midi controller I use the Keystep 37 which works great
thx for that review... was thinking of the M-1 for "zoom" meetings. would love to hear a comparison with other headphones with a mic.
They’d work great for zoom meetings
lol what a fking coincidence. i was looking into teenage engineering products for a couple months now. kind of sucking all videos up about all their products. i ordered a po-33 and i'm super happy with it! i was just wondering about the m-1 headphone quality last evening, since i couldn't find much information about it. thank you for this nice review!
My pleasure!
lol i absolutely sat on mine and broke them. i miss them though. they were great! nice for walking around, and just easier to use than my sony studio monitors. they look cool, weigh nothing, and fit in a jacket pocket.
Aaaahhh sorry to hear that man. Not too expensive to pick up another pair though!
Def considering these cause at the moment, I use my studio headphones to like produce music outside with pocket operators and stuff🤔...and I'm not really that keen on bringing my studio headphones with me like all the time😳
You’re the perfect candidate!
@@LiamKillen you reckon?🤔
I imagine if u still want that same Ikea aesthetic then you could just go with AIAIAI headphones which aren't flat sounding either but prob need less EQ than this does to get to target graphs.
Those are my current headphones I use for pretty much everything actually- I use the TMA 2 Wireless +
Can you use the mic with anything other than the opz and t6?
Yeah with anything that supports it
I could see them working well in scenarios such as performing pop vocals live on stage, or if you're streaming on, say Twitch for example...
I don't see how it could be the most practical for recording vocals, but they definitely can't be the worst and thankfully they are affordable.
I just think the mic on these cans looks silly. 😂
Yeah they're alright- not the highest quality TBH
....how could any headset NOT be compaitble with the TX-6? Also, how is "daisy chaining headphones for a shared listening experience" any different than a 5 dollar passive headphone splitter... that works with any headset? This whole thing boggles my mind...
Fair points my friend...fair points.
Does the detachable mic work with the op1 input port?
I've never tried ! Maybe!
@@LiamKillen got to try it myself, it doesn’t. At least in the field though it works when plugged into the headset…
Daisy chain them together like a human centipede? Best. Idea. Ever.
Haha exactly
Had mine for about 2 years. They snapped.
(Insert comment about dodgy TE build quality here)
Whaaaat!
@@LiamKillen Yep. At the plastic “fold out” bit.
Funnily I find TE's cheaper products the PO33 specifically, to be really impressive especially for the price. But they have some other things I would snag if I was more wealthy haha. The TP-7 Specifically, I'm trying to snipe a SC500, similar but not the same, but a lot cheaper, and never in stock :(.
Yeah they occupy the entire spectrum price wise now lol
are they good for field recording?
I'd say no actually because they don't block external sound like at all.
Do you know if Moog is gonna be carrying 'em?
Good question I’m actually not sure
@@LiamKillen I arsked, they're checking with their distributor.
They’re on their website
Just bought a pair for the looks alone to play cod on my Xbox 😁
I’ve used these with my PS-4 as well no doubt lol
I wonder if Sonarworks will share that profile some day!! 😂
I don’t think so tbh- not enough people buying these headphones…but who knows!
I've had these for about 2 years, I've used them with volcas, pos, and the op-1
1, I think they look like a cheap pair of 80s headphones
2, they sound ok for what I do which is to make electronic music for myself
3 totally agree about the HD600s a cheaper and good pair of open backs is the Samson s80s which is my go to pair when listening to music or mixing etc
Great video
Thanks LK
Thanks for watching! Yeah the quality is OKAY- worth the 80 $ imo
Yeah I got mine for 65 GBP off of *ahem* Amazon. Definitely worth the money
These look like lab headphones from the 90s computer lab...
Lol
Those might be good for me
They just might!! 😏
😂
the video dropped a bit ago and there’s already mad TE haters on here, and i know damn well they haven’t watched the damn vid☠️
Haters gonna do their thing!
You mean me?! I watched the vid. #Facts
@@kierenmoore3236you left a comment when the video had dropped 5 minutes ago, idk abt that ☠️
@@wxves_the_mixer Sounds right. I binge YT on 2x and I hit the pop-up for this video when it landed. I watched the whole video
.. and just like some of the comments here, some key points were a focus on aesthetics (which I don’t think are good, but that’s subjective; lightweight, maybe - they appear to be …), sound quality (not great, from all accounts) … with some additional feedback in the comments about breakability/non-durability (even this video said, in not-as-many-words, that you have to ‘coddle’ them somewhat). Imho, you’d be better off putting the money towards a good set of headphones, with better sound and durability. That’s not hate; just an honest, non-shill opinion. But, hey - you do you. Hipsters gonna hipster. 💸
TE has gone out of the realm of usable gear. Just not getting what their trying to do. Some of their recent products are not really for musicians.
They’re def going into a different direction
They are toys for people who have to much money and want everybody to see how different and cool they are at creating music. Teenage engineering expensive toys to fleece the trendy set of there money…….fare play I wish I thought of it!!!
did you even watch the video 😂
@@plexi-yo7nd yes
then you need to be aware of how ridiculous you sound; this video is about $50 dollar headphones that aint expensive, trendy or popular like airpods, and since when where headphones made for 'creating music' 😂 te products must really hurt your feelings to be this dumb lol
these are actually very affordable headphones.
right ? lol
Only someone that actually wants the item would spend so much energy talking down on a product.
They’re on the edge lol
Like they’re not even that expensive lol it’s weird. Comments of TE related comment sections = a den of pathology.
@@LiamKillen People like to find a reason why something is too much or not worthy. The reality is why waste your time. No one needs someone to convince them that something is too pricey or not. Everyone has their own taste and budgets.
@@LiamKillen I remember back when they announced the OP-1 in the 2010s, the comments were already just as toxic as they are today. TE seem to struck a nerve with certain people.
@@XanderEwald Yeah, people who want to look like musicians without actually having anything to do with music. It’s our generation’s version of the “guy with a guitar” who just learned Wonderwall to pick up girls, but complains that the coolest looking guitars cost so much, having no concept of the features and reasons behind the cost. Social media made the audience for those kinds of people explode. You can only half blame TE for kinda sorta playing into the whole “image” as part of their marketing strategy.
I love your channel but find TE stuff really uninteresting.
Yeah fair enough- not for everyone
They are made for trust fund babies who have no idea of what quality vs cost can get you.
...they're not expensive at all.
Knowing TE, these are for hipsters not all that concerned about sound quality …
Translation: “I didn’t watch the whole video”
@@LiamKillen But, I did …
@@LiamKillen And it seems pretty accurate, to me … you mentioned aesthetics, and how much ‘signal correction’ you applied to these things … If I hadn’t watched the whole video, I would have been temped to add “and who have money to burn …”; but they must be able to make these things *really* cheap, in order to maintain something close to the standard TE mark-up/premium, whilst retailing inexpensively (for headphones) …. Which doesn’t mean they are good value, of course …
they are for making people who hate on TE mad.
@@opart Who’s mad? I laugh at people who buy this shiz. 😂
So koss but bad and expensive.... Yikes.
😮
