i'm not familiar with the M6 (except one from BMW) but the MA750 stands up on its own just fine, it's a great IEM. it's only when you hear it side-by-side with the GR07 that you can hear a difference. MA750 is not necessarily veiled in comparison as much as it is a bit more muddy than the GR07...

thanks, that's definitely helpful! IF the culprit is indeed the cable. but if it's the connectors themselves or how they're internally connected to the rest of the assembly, a new cable might not quite be the remedy we seek.    i wonder if there are any success stories after replacing the...

i'm in the same boat as you. i purchased mine back in 01/2016 and come September, my left channel is already dropping sound. at first, i thought it was the cable but now i'm not sure at all because even opening my jaw really wide cuts off the sound so now i suspect more than just the cable.   ...

  amen to that! 

I've just stumbled upon this thread as my beloved GR07 BE's failed me miserably. After measly 6 months, the cable gave in (about 5 inches above the jack) and rendered them useless. I'm very nice to my toys and value their service immensely so this happened without any abuse or excessive use.   ...

A fascinating look inside Grado's factory in Brooklyn. I especially love their entrance door...   http://www.cnet.com/news/a-visit-to-grados-brooklyn-headphone-factory/  

what did you end up getting? i'm facing the same choice as my beloved IE7s are slowly dying.    i guess the difficult choice here is, dynamic vs balanced armature. i'm leaning toward dynamics (i.e. sennheiser) and based on your musical taste, it seems like you should be too. i fear that...

  ebay is your friend. i was lucky enough to get mine on amazon a few years back but now they run pretty expensive. 

these guys must still be profitable if they keep doing this and never go poor. i wonder what kind of person still falls for this type of scam these days. you could almost write a script to detect and filter these guys out of any online correspondence. they're always unavailable to do any kind of...

i gave them a whirl as well and concur, if they're fakes, they're damn good ones! they sound like the real thing before they were broken in. i'm letting them warm up for a few days and will then report with listening notes.   visually, the texture of the plastic and some details around the...

the guy selling them lives just 30 minutes from where i live so they're actually already waiting for me at home. i'll report as soon as i get my hands on them...

Quote:   i just took a look at the auction. from the one pic on there, it seems like they're genuine, unless the pic is fake. i believe the fakes don't come with the cleaning tool and the leather case. both of those are included in the pic. also, the logos and signage is exactly the same...

Quote:   there is a bunch of threads on fake IE7s. i'd strongly recommend checking out the characteristic features that distinguish fakes from authentic.    i got a pair of fakes off amazon marketplace before i got genuine refurbs from an authorized reseller so be careful. the...
