Sorry if this was already posted somewhere. I did a search and couldn't find it. I just ordered a pair of SA6 from B&H Photo. How do I know which version of the SA6's I'm getting?

Thanks in advance

If it looks like the one in Sleek Audio logo (top left of this page), then it is v1.

The difference b/w v1 and v2 (2009 edition) is on the chromed plastic cover in the earpeice. You can still see a metal ring on v1, on the nozzle holding the treble port. That part is covered up entirely by the chromed plastic on the v2.

Thanks, I see the difference. Are there differences in sound quality or are the differences strictly cosmetic?

The newer 2009 version is said to have a stronger build.

v2 always come with bass+ second edition and cord 2nd edition

as far as build is concerned it definitively is a lot stronger,so far the number of rma i have for v2 is 80% inferior to the one I had with v1

Depending on how old the stock is, the cable may not be the revised one. The changes to the sleeve were made a few months (around April 2009 IIRC) before the cable was changed (June 2009 IIRC). I know this because I got the new earpieces packaged with the old cable when I ordered from SoundEarphones when SA6 was revised.

OK, so my SA6 came in today and the box says 09 edition, totally stoked! But now, what are the differences in the cable?

If the connector into your player is an I connector and not an L, it's the new one. What I've heard (I still haven't had a problem with the old one so I haven't ordered a new one), there is actually a bump on the connector for the right channel to make it easier to find it instead of barely embossed L and R. In addition, the new one supposedly doesn't hold a shape (i.e. not as much "coil memory")
