Brainwavz M3 Review - Page 6

It looks like i'm gonna go with either the M1 or M3, right now i have the MEE M9s and they have a bit too much bass so the M2s seem to be the odd man out. Anyone heard the M9s and can compare them??

Ok guys, So I got my M3s today, did a very little listening session before burn in... Overall is pretty much what I expected, The bass and the highs are way better than on my PX-100, mids are sweet!  I found the sound pretty balanced. I wonder if they will significantly improve after burn in.

Nevertheless I have to confess that I'm an IEM newbie, these are my first pair! The thing is.... how the f... do you handle the cable memory? I'm wearing them over the ear and the cable just keeps twisting, it really pisses me off.... do you have any advice on this? 

Also, I understand IEMs are somehow "fragile" , do you have any advice to make them last longer? My PX-100s are in perfect shape and they are 6 years old... I'm pretty careful with my gear. 

Thanks in advance!

My advice for the cable memory is to get a very small rubber band (black obviously) and use it as a "chin slider" to keep the headphones taught under your chin and over your ears.  You'll have to fold it over and over itself to get it tight enough, but the rubber holds it in place pretty well.  The smaller the band, the better obviously!  That's what I had to do with my M3s.

@dbdyntsty25 Thanks! I'll try that,

Did any of you feel a downgrade in performance during burn in? My M3s have been burnning in for about 20 hours and I could almost swear that they were sounding a bit better out of the box. 

Placebo effect of new headphones? My hearing is not very good today? What do you guys think?
