Great earbud at great price!
It is really difficult to get a good earbud (not a fan of in-ear canalphones) these days. After the demise of Sennheiser MX 170, I found VE Monk Plus. And now Mimi is a nice addition to my collection. Build and audio quality both are great. Btw, I like both the Monk and Mimi. And yes, what a cute packaging!

Very pleasing Tuning with inoffensive sound
Good pick on a budget ..go for it if you want a durable earbud style earphone…. sound is pretty clear and detailed with donut foams..full foam makes the bass boomy and muddled so go with donut or no foam. The price is very enticing for the sound quality offered..go for it !!

perfect earphone in budget
I am not fond of ear canal buds. So I always look for the old styled earbuds online and I find is more comfortable. But the fact is good options are very limited as of now. After buying and using this earphone I found sounds very balanced and detailed in terms of overall sound quality. I hope (and pray) these old styled earbuds will not be discontinued.

CatEar Mimi – No-Brainer at its Price Point!!
The Mimi is a product by CatEar brand in the starting price range costing at $10 only. It comes in small packaging inside a small black box which contains a small nice round case with earbuds inside it. The build quality of Mimi is top-notch with a 1.2m crystalline oxygen-free copper cable with silver plating. The cable looks & feel high-quality with the added advantage that it never gets tangled. The case itself is cute & cat-lovers will envy you after seeing it. It can be easily be driven by phone but it also shines really well with amplification.
Lows
The Bass is two notches lower than the neutral line but comes well with the rest of the spectrum. Sub-bass isn’t much & rolls off quickly. Mid Bass is good but lacks
the body or thump. Just like most of the earbuds bass is not a selling point here. Genres like EDM Dubsteps will not provide the feeling which one will want out. But alas what more you can expect from a 10$ product. Bass there is well represented & doesn’t hinder with Mids. It presents a cleaner background, personally, I would have liked a little more punch. Bass is overall Good & comes out well with the rest of the frequency response.
Mids
Mids is the area where they really shine. Sometimes makes you wonder if you are really listening to $10 earbuds. Clarity & Details shine out with the mids. Vocals be it male or female sound good. Mids being on the forward side have an airy presentation. There is a touch more focus on the lower mids than the upper but still not to the point where it feels too unnatural. Mids have a little sweeter touch to them.
Treble
Treble is good. I would have liked a little more refinement to this area but still, it is fine. They do not sound hard but there is no shine either. There is little roll-of on the higher end. Overall it comes out good & has good synergy with the Mids.
Soundstage/Imaging
Soundstage and imaging in the overall perceived area are great too. You will be able to hear all the different instruments popping in & out around your ears. It has an airy presentation with good width and height though depth is lacking. I do not expect anything more in the area with the price point it is being sold. The presentation is top-notch. The transition from the centre to the left & right is quite good. I also tested it with Netflix watching movies & series & was surprised to
see how great all the different sounds in a scene were well represented. The separation qualities shown there were just too great for its price point.
Its a must for those who watch a lot of entertainment stuff while lying on their bed or couch.
Amplification
What was not expected was its performance with little amplification. Using it with Fiio E17 (the old Darkhorse in entry-level) Mimi shined really well bringing
quality of life improvement in Mids & Bass. Details were more pronounced & the overall presentation was much better. Same I will mention in its delivery with the Ifi iCAN.
Have to say that Cat-Ears have done a marvellous job in bringing out such a product at such an affordable price range. Not-only it punches much above its price-point when it comes to sound but along with the case provided & good quality cable, it is a no-brainer. This has to be in your collection if you are an earbud lover.
