To anyone with both ANV3 and M2C, are they suppose to sound the same?
I tried and tried and cannot tell them apart. With and without amp, lossless and MP3.
Uven using splitter and put the same side of each in my ears and I still can't tell them apart.
Is there any cosmetic difference I can check that BLOX didn't mistakely sent me an M2C?

UPDATE
I checked with BLOX. (Great customer service and quick resonse btw)
They told me the sonic difference between 'new' M2C and ANV3 should be obvious, but they can't comment on 'old' M2C because they don't have them at hand.
There is a way to distinguish the ANV and M2C by seeing how deep the grey(back)part goes into the black(front) part.
The Anv3 will go in a tiny bit deeper because of the thinner driver.
So I guess the explanation I came up with is the old M2C is tuned very similarly to the ANV3 and my ears or my gears aren't sensitive enough to tell the differences.

But in the end, they both sound amazing anyway so...

Received the ANV3, and so disapointed, the sound is ok, but when I put the right side bud in my ears, It seems the cover plastic of the housing hit to the driver, oppp...pappp,... really uncomfortable, and the sound is the same to my old M2C.... I don't recognize any differences. I wonder this one I received is M2C or the ANV3, so bored... (sorry my bad English).(After a long 3 weeks order waiting)

Woo (a guy from BLOX) said they assemble M2C and ANV in 2 seperate rooms, so mix up should be impossible.
You can use the method above to check also.

I missed out on getting a pair of the ANV3 so if you or anyone else is disappointed with the ANV3 or M2C and no longer want them PM me or put them in the for sale forum and I'll snap them up.

received my ANV3 yesterday 

 
And they include in an IEM which sounds good too 
 
Thank you Blox for the CNY gift. LOL

 
Hey, I didn't get an IEM. Good for you. I have not listen to it yet. I'd better put a sicker on it, before I mix them up.

After 20 hours burn in the ANV3, I can say that it sounds great, the midrange is more smooth than the M2C, the soundstage is better than the M2C too, it has more depth and more 3D feeling than the M2C, and the clarity is better too. Keep burning in for 80 hours more. Now I'm very satisfy of the ANV3's sound. Just only one a little bit uncomfortable when put the right side into the ears, it sounds " opppp... apppp ". I think the glue is not complete, but I will get used with it because It sounds really great ( sorry my bad English )

I ordered on 1/29 and finally received my ANV3s and I'll have to say I'm blown away.  Feels like I'm listening to a pair of full size cans. Definitely worth $70.  Also got the free pair of IEMs, pretty decent, but don't really compare to RE0s, RE262s, and the like.

Glad everyone is feeling the love for Blox earbuds! They really should not be overlooked!

Proud owner of ANV3 here. Order mine on 29th Jan & received it at my doorstep on 15th Feb. Well it Chinese New Year btw so was expecting it a bit late. At 1st I was on a doubt whether to place an order or not since I just bought the M2C few weeks earlier. I was wrong & ANV3 is pretty much better from M2C. Can't compared with TM7 as I don't own it. For its price, its worth every buck.

I mailed them the 15 of February but I'm still waiting an answer in order to buy a pair of ANV3, did they answered to you guys after Chinese holidays?

 

[AbsoluteZero]

I ordered on the 30th of January and still have not gotten my hands on them... Test of patience here

[Swimsonny]

and i do not have the IEM but from pictures it seems to be worn over the ear, have you tried that!

 

[oopeteroo]

[Swimsonny]

Touch higher than listening level, pink and white noise on a loop, music you listen too or this website is nice:
