Would you classify the sound sig as a little boring? And any comparison between the solaris?

Never would I ever classify the sound signature of the M9 as boring, my dude. Not even close. It's the most fun sounding headphone I've ever heard and it puts enjoyment before accuracy, I'd say. When inserted correctly with the right tips, these things pound out the bass notes beautifully.Would you classify the sound sig as a little boring? And any comparison between the solaris?
Yeah, it sucks there aren't too many reviews of them.......Did you get them from amazon? I was wondering why the international version is so much cheaper....Never would I ever classify the sound signature of the M9 as boring, my dude. Not even close.

I've seen comparisons with the Andros for sure. Some people prefer the M9, some the Andros. They are definitely direct competitors though and the M9 punches right there with them and has much better bass. I've yet to see any comparisons to the Solaris though. There's still not too many reviews out there on the M9 even though they were released in October. I'd say just buy them from Amazon, audition them for a week or hell even 2 months and send them back if they're not for you. Though I've yet to see anyone who's spent time with them who didn't adore them.
Yep, Amazon buyer here and I bought the INT version as well. The difference is only concerning the warranty. Meaning if you need to warranty them you have to send them back to the seller rather than dealing with Sony USA. Which may be a huge pain in the ass, I have no idea and hopefully won't have to find out.Yeah, it sucks there aren't too many reviews of them.......Did you get them from amazon?

Nah I don't think so to be honest. Just gotta figure out which tips fit you best. Fit is crucial with these IEMs, more so than other IEMs. You can have too much seal or not enough and the sound suffers with either one. Though if you don't have abnormally large ear holes like I do I suspect you won't have any drama with finding the perfect tip to use in the box. I wish SOny included just one size larger but I can get by with the LL silicone hybrids and they're the best sounding tip I've tried and I've tried many well known aftermarket tips too.Hi everyone
I m going to buy the m9, can anyone tell me about the run in time? Or its not a matter at all. Thanks
How does it compare to the triple comfort?Nah I don't think so to be honest. Just gotta figure out which tips fit you best.

I wish I knew! The biggest triple comfort in the box was a size L while the hybrids have an LL. The L in the triples were too small for me.How does it compare to the triple comfort?
Tks. So looks like run in time is not a concern hereNah I don't think so to be honest. Just gotta figure out which tips fit you best.

Let me give my 5c opinion here.Never would I ever classify the sound signature of the M9 as boring, my dude. Not even close.

It has a recessed connection, so just need to be careful with that.Question, The M9 doesn't have a problem taking any 3rd party MMCX Cable right? Nothing weird?
I would love to have the 2.5mm cable included, but is Sony and they need to push the 4,4mm standard. I bought an adaptor though.I think I prefer the stock cable
It'd be great if they have 2.5mm version (shorter will be better for me as well)
Anyone try inserting it deep with small tips? I got a little bit smoother treble....kinda nice
Also, TC tips gave it a tad bit of bass I think. IDK if it was my assumption that foam would increase bass but it does sound a little bit more musical.
The tips are smooth so they tend to push out at first, but I notice after wearing them for a few days, they don't bounce back as much and kinda "collapse". Now they fit and stay better than out of the box.
