Why Pinnacle?

Pinnacle, 'Pinnacle' in English, is more than a name – it is a statement that identifies the P1 in-ear headphones as the result of two years of design, engineering and refinement. The top of MEE Audio's acclaimed product line, and their best-playing headphone to date.

For years, headphone enthusiasts around the world have identified MEE audio as one of the preferred brands for the best quality/price ratio, and Pinnacle honors this by offering in-ear headphones that are far superior to the investment they require.

High fidelity sound

Highest level acoustic reproduction was the main goal in the development of Pinnacle from day one. To achieve the target frequency response, clarity and resolution, the P1 uses an advanced high-impedance MC transducer and a patented acoustic diffuser.

Philosophy of adjustment

MEE Pinnacle P1 was designed to deliver rich, dynamic audio with great clarity and vibrant detail. Its conception took into account both the firm's experience manufacturing headphones and the feedback from enthusiasts and critics, seeking to create a rich and musical sound, which remains precise with respect to the source and makes the most subtle nuances of the music audible. The bass is punchy but never overwhelms the rest of the sound spectrum, so there is no harshness in the details. Combining the natural soundstage and excellent spatial cue management, the result is an unparalleled concert playback experience.*

* The outstanding sound quality and resolution of high-fidelity headphones are most audible when using CD-quality or higher recordings. To experience the full potential of the Pinnacle range, we recommend avoiding music with dynamic range reduced by compression, or that has been digitally compressed into low bit-rate formats.

Driver

Pinnacle P1 uses a proprietary 10mm MC driver with 50Ω impedance to improve reproduction at the extremes of the frequency range**. The dynamic driver delivers full-bodied bass with a slightly warm tone, while maintaining high levels of resolution and sophistication. A copper-plated aluminum voice coil is used to reduce the moving mass of the driver, allowing for faster, more controlled movement, achieving high-frequency, high-resolution reproduction.

**Although no special equipment is required to enjoy the Pinnacle P1, connecting them to a dedicated audio source or a specific amplifier for high impedance headphones, the listening experience reaches its full splendor.

Acoustic diffuser

A proprietary resonance chamber and damping scheme offer the best balance between treble extension and smooth in-ear response. The patented MEE P1 acoustic diffuser benefits from the natural direction of the treble, forcing it to select frequencies to resonate before reaching the ear to ensure coherence and smoothness. This increases the detail and extension of high frequencies achieved by the P1, without adding harshness, resulting in wide and energetic trebles, but also soft to achieve a natural sound with improved resolution details and management of spatial signals.

Made to last

In addition to its timeless reproduction, the Pinnacle P1 has been built to last. The earplugs are made from a zinc alloy – the first time it has been used in headphones – and hand-lacquered so they sound and look like a top-of-the-range device should. Zinc provides greater rigidity and is more robust against impacts than aluminum, while still offering significant weight reductions compared to steel to be less cumbersome.

For extended life, the Pinnacle P1 uses interchangeable, user-replaceable cables with universal MMCX connectors. The two included cables are braided to provide them with robustness and protect against tangles, in addition to having angled connectors.

High performance audio cable

A 99.99% silver-plated pure copper stereo cable that ensures rich detail and the best reproduction when using the Pinnacle P1 with high-end audio systems.

Headset cable with remote control and microphone

The included headset cable includes a universal volume control, microphone and remote control, allowing the user to answer calls and control playback effortlessly with available tablets and smartphones.

Superior fit and comfort

Designed for long listening sessions, Pinnacle P1 includes an innovative ergonomic design that allows them to be worn in two different ways, fitting all types of ears comfortably. The unique casing is designed to be worn in the traditional and inverse way, thus also allowing you to surround the ear with the cable to fix them in a more secure, discreet way and keep the cable out of the way, avoiding noise (for the microphone) or switch from one mode to the other by simply changing the connectors to invert the channels. 

Sound insulation design

The structure of the headset blocks outside sound, preventing interruptions and protecting the user's hearing, allowing listening at lower volumes. In addition, it includes Comply™ T-Series memory foam ear pads as standard, to increase acoustic insulation for a superior audio experience.

Complete kit

To ensure the best fit, comfort and sound insulation for each user, the Pinnacle P1 includes 6 pairs of silicone eartips and 3 pairs of Comply T-200 memory foam eartips. A clothes clip and a cable strap to help keep it collected, as well as the gold-plated 6.3mm Jack adapter are included accessories that allow you to increase the headphones' compatibility with a huge range of playback devices. The Premium protective case has the unique serial number laser engraved.
