Pinnacle P1
High Fidelity Audiophile In-Ear Headphones
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the MEE audio Pinnacle P1 High Fidelity In-Ear Headphones.
The Pinnacle P1 is a high-impedance in-ear headphone designed for audiophiles and music professionals and tuned to deliver the highest levels of resolution and refinement.
While a headphone amplifier is not required to enjoy the Pinnacle P1, the audio hardware in some phones, tablets, and computers is not designed with high-impedance headphones in mind and using a dedicated audio source or amplifier instead can make the difference between a great listening experience and an outstanding one.
The superb sound quality and resolution of high-end headphones such as the Pinnacle P1 are also more pronounced when listening to recordings in CD (or better) quality. To experience the full potential of the P1, we recommend avoiding music that has undergone excessive dynamic range compression or been digitally compressed into low-bitrate formats.
We hope you enjoy the Pinnacle P1 and wish you happy listening!

3. Configuring for Your Ears
An airtight seal between the earpieces and your ear canals is required for your Pinnacle P1 earphones to deliver the level of sound quality they are engineered for. Multiple sets of eartips are included to ensure you get the best fit. We recommend trying each of the included eartips to find the size that provides the best comfort and sound for your ears. Because ear canals are not always symmetrical, you may need to use different-size eartips in each ear.
The correct eartip for your ear will:
- Fit inside your ear canal without discomfort
- Seal with your ear canal and reduce outside noise when inserted
- Provide the best bass response and overall sound quality
Install eartips as shown. Make sure eartips are mounted securely before use.

The Pinnacle P1 comes with Comply™ Memory Foam eartips in three sizes. Memory foam eartips are designed to provide a more comfortable fit by using body heat to conform to the shape of the ear canal. Install Comply eartips as shown on the previous page.
Inserting Comply™ Memory Foam Eartips
- Roll the tip into a thin, round cylinder.
- Pull back and up on the ear to open the canal. Gently insert the entire tip into the ear.
- Hold the tip in place until it expands.
Changing Comply™ Eartips
Remove the old Comply foam tip by grasping the entire tip, including the plastic inner core, at the back of the tip (close to the earpiece). Firmly pull the tip off the earphone nozzle, rotating slightly or pulling at an angle if necessary to overcome friction.
Clean the earphone nozzle of any debris. Securely install the new Comply™ Premium Earphone Tip onto the clean, dry nozzle. Recommended replacement is after 3 months of regular use. For replacement tips, visit complyfoam.com. The Comply eartip size included with the Pinnacle P1 is the T-200.

The Pinnacle P1 includes two detachable, interchangeable cables:
1. Stereo Audio Cable
Silver-plated 99.99% pure copper stereo audio cable ensures the richest detail retrieval and maximum performance with high-end audio systems.
2. Headset Cable
The headset cable incorporates a microphone and remote button for phone calls and media control with compatible phones and tablets (see Microphone & Remote Use section for more info).
Before using the earphones, select your desired cable and attach the earpieces. Make sure to attach the cable connector marked "R" to the earpiece you will use in your right ear and the connector marked "L" to the earpiece you will use in your left ear.
To attach: push the connector in until it fits securely. To detach: firmly grasp the earpiece and cable connector and pull apart.

The unique ergonomics and detachable cables of the Pinnacle P1 are designed so that the earphones can be worn either in the conventional "cable down" style or using a "cable up" musician fit, which can be more secure and reduces cable noise (microphonics).
Adjust the earpiece until it fits flush in the ear and the eartip seals in the ear canal. Repeat for the other side.
When using the headset cable in the cable-up-and-behind-back configuration, the microphone may not work properly.
7. Cable Management
Slide the cable cinch up to fix the earphones in place for the most secure fit.
Use the shirt clip to control cable movement.
