So after hearing lots of good reviews I went ahead and ordered the AI-M6's from Meelectronics. I just got them today, and so far my first impression isn't that great. I haven't listened to anything with them yet, though.
I first opened the box and they looked great. Nothing to complain about in the aesthetics department.
So then I attempt to put them on. One of the wire-things was already shaped to fit a person's ear, so that one went in pretty easily. The other one, however was a completely different story. It took me about 10 minutes to get it in, and just as I was starting to attempt to put it in, I heard something snap, and I noticed that the wire had become loose at one part. Obviously the wire snapped. It remains to be seen whether the headphone will actually work. I wish they didn't have the little wire, because in my opinion it just makes them harder to put on, and it doesn't seem like they help with the fit or anything.
So now that I have them on, I notice that the microphonics are VERY BAD. I can't move my head without hearing a brushing noise from the wire rubbing against my face. I had heard complaints about bad microphonics, but I thought it was only in the older model, and I'm pretty sure I have the newer ones.
So...that's my first impression. If anyone has any comments or can share their own experience, it would be appreciated. I'll update once I've listened to something on them.
