For under $50, you might not be able to find a better sounding IEM. The fact that the price includes a full suite of extra's makes these IEM's even that more amazing at the price.
I consider detachable and replaceable cables a must have feature of any IEM I purchase these days. I got tired of eventually throwing out perfectly good IEM's simply because the cable eventually broke. It is a fact of life with IEM's and other small headphones such as the type that come with smartphones. The cable just isn't thick enough to not fray and break apart at stress points over time and sometimes with cheaper IEM's, that time is less 6 months. Fortunately the cables that come with the M6 Pro IEM's is detachable and replaceable. You also get two separate cables. One that has an inline microphone and one that does not. What a nice touch to include both cable types. The cables seem to be fairly well made with attention being focused on the known stress points such as the mini jack (L shaped and sturdy). The cables are not woven like I have been seeing on many IEM's around this price point but they still appear to have good tangle free properties and should resist sweat with no problems since the housing appears to be neoprene. Of course with the cable being replaceable, I am a little less worried about it lasting more than a year. I have read in another review that that person felt that the cables did not fit securely enough into the connectors on the IEM's but that may have been a quality issue with his pair of IEM's. The cable fits snugly into their connectors on the pair I have and I have not felt like there was a risk of them detaching inadvertently. My smartphone is an Android based phone and the microphone and button on it work just fine with my phone. The quality of the microphone is pretty good and better than about 65% to 70% of other wired headset microphones I have experienced.
Since I have already mentioned the two different cables that come with the IEM's, I might as well touch on the other included goodies you get with this set of IEM's before getting to the sound quality. I was surprised to find that the whole package includes a semi-hard zippered case with separate internal pockets to hold the extra cable and ear tips. It is a pretty nice case for a pair of IEM's under $50 and is another nice touch that is very much welcome since it makes it easier to keep track of the extra cable and ear tips that are not attached to the IEM's. A full set of pretty decent yet standard silicone ear-tips are also included in S, M, and L sizes. One final nice touch is that a pair of M sized Comply foam ear-tips are included as well (Comply T200). The Comply tips are super comfortable and give a superior seal between your ears and the tips themselves. They isolate and seal out the outside environment better than the silicon tips and I highly recommended them. The IEM's fit really nicely in my ears. They are not large profile housings so the fit flush within my ears and are not very noticeable when inserted.They also stay put better than any other in ear headphone I have ever worn. I have yet to push one or the other in to seat it again when I am out doing errands or even working out/jogging. Once I first seat them within my ear and the Comply tips expand and create their seal, that seal has not been broken until I purposely break it. Recreating a lasting seal only takes about 10 seconds once I am ready to seal out the outside world again. Because the housings are relatively small and lightweight, I have yet to experience discomfort or fatigue and have kept both IEM's sealed in my ear for over 3 hours and was barely able to physically feel them even after that 3+ hours.
All of this would be saccharine flavored icing on a pretty looking yet way too chemically sweet cake if the sound wasn't good though. Fortunately, the sound built on the decent sound profile of the first version of these IEM's and corrected the somewhat deficient yet muddy sounding low end and the mid range bleed that messed with the high end of the first version of these IEM's. Version 2 does have a V shaped curve but the low end is more substantial without sounding muddy or unfocused. You get a firm and tight low end with this version. Bass heads may want to EQ the low end just a little bit too add a heavier lower end and they do respond well to EQ adjustments like that if you really feel the need for a bigger boom on the low end. I am very happy with the way these are tuned out of the box though and am not applying any EQ to the low end. I am also not EQ'ing the mid's as well. I haven't noticed the mid range bleeding into the high end like the first version did but i can't guarantee that won't happen if you push the EQ on the mid to high range. The only EQ I have applied is a slight addition around the 2k to 2.5k range on the high end. Not a lot, just a slight bump up. I am very impressed with the balanced sound I am getting out of these IEM's with just that small adjustment. I would have never thought these were under $50 IEM's if listening to them for the first time and was unaware of their actual price point. My guess would have been around $125 or so and when I saw the case and extra's, I would have reasonably assumed that these were between $150 to $175. At under $50, these are possibly the best IEM's for the price. I haven't found better.

Note: Fairly initial impressions. (I've only worn these for about 60hrs over the course of a week.)tl;dr version:... it's in the tagline. I have nothing negative to say about these IEMs. This is not a "5-stars at this $50 price-point" score; I'd still give it 5-stars if it cost twice as much. Adjustable comfort "for days" (or at least 12 hours in one go), blocks out the world, reproduces the sound completely and faithfully, and comes with a good number of accessories/options.Comfort:Probably the only pair of in-ear monitors I've comfortably worn for long hours without issues. The generous accessories pack includes a multitude of silicone tips (and also a "first one's free" pair of Comply branded foam inserts) so getting the right fitment in-ear is not an issue. When you couple that with the thin but soft memory wire to set it in place around your specific ear shape, there's no way anything else can come close to being this secure and comfortable.Motorcycle note: These monitors do not protrude from your ears so work well under a helmet. The memory wire also helps to keep intermittent tugs from pulling them out while at speed. If you route them behind your back the large-ish bit of plastic that encompasses the wire intersection Y-join can dig into your back under a back protector and will get uncomfortable on rides beyond an hour.Sound:Very responsive and detailed. Faithful reproduction of all frequencies. If I am to nitpick I would say that JB's impression is spot-on accurate; there is a bit of "boom" to the bass. Not a whole lot; you can dial it out if that is your preference. Do not expect these to crush your skull with bass. That is not what they are intended to do. Rather, if you want to hear the music as it was intended to be heard you can't go wrong with this product.Motorcycle note: The memory foam Comply tips do a great job of blocking out noise so you don't have to crank your music to hear over the wind, thus saving your hearing. Think of them as earplugs that also happen to produce beautiful music.Accessories (see photo):There is nothing missing from the set. The included hard-case is nicely sized for protection and portability. The usual assortment of silicone tips are included; small, medium, large in both single flange tips and isolating (2 and 3 flange/baffle design). A bag of medium sized Comply tips are also included (my preferred tips). Musicians will appreciate the included 1/8" minijack to 1/4" stereo jack converter but I haven't had a reason to use that yet. Also included is a second cable (yes, this thing is modular) that contains an inline mic for calls (or piece-of-mind back-up cable if you somehow damage the other). By default, the unit ships with the non-mic enabled cable attached but changing them out isn't hard if you go that route. Lastly, there is a functional clip that makes short work of slack management for wire routing purposes.Misc final note:MEE didn't splash a garish logo on these so there's always that bonus if you don't like being a walking billboard.
