Smart move. I too love the M5s. Perfect IEM for me, in terms of price and performance. I have X3s and they are fine, but can't compete with M5s.

Also, cable microphonics can be pretty much avoided with a well-placed shirt clip. The real killer for these IEMs (in my opinion) is that fact that replacement filters can no longer be purchased anywhere. Altec Lansing has removed the iM716/616 from the "Accessories" section of its website and responds to inquiries by saying "parts are depleted." This means that once the 2 spare filters are gone, so are the iM716s... |
