just buy from a trusted source not a eBay seller.

The Ebay sellers that I bought my MH755s from are my trusted source.

Probably because most are going to known 'good' sellers.

I too ordered a black pair off ebay & thru paypal. Seller said they are genuine, so we shall see. Another seller straight up said they theirs were copies.
I'm actually thinking of buying the cheapest black ones I can find, so that I can replace the drivers with some of the genuine ones I have, thus "legitimising" them :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just ordered Tin audio P1 and i am also looking at the toneking planar om, what other planar cheapish iems Are out there? I see TZ have om but not that cheap. And do you guys know how the tin audio and tone king Are compared too each other?

There's the MT100 if you're interested in a balanced sound signature and don't mind the lack of isolation. They're seriously good imo and should be able to get for less than $140 (maybe even lower with some patience and coupons).

Are you sure you have a genuine set? There are many fakes out there. Also my MH755 sounded off and I discovered it had a wiring fault which was fixed by a colleague. It sounds great now.
I didn't say my pair sounded bad. The OP said he was satisfied with his $5 Sony's and implied he wouldn't buy any other earphones. He is missing out for real. If all he has is $5, he got a great deal however.

PS: My "$5" Sony cost me $13.

best "cheapish" planar IEM is the Audeze iSine 10 and iSine LX with cipher cable. The rest are a mixed bag of mediocre and bad. That's just my take though. The P1 is decent, but still a mess that needs some tuning fixes. All planars IEMs to date need EQ heavily.

Have you had a chance to try the MT100?

I'd have to disagree with that. I have the iSINE10 and the P1 and to my ears the P1 is superior with both at a flat EQ.

As much as I can discern about its SQ, I think the MH755 that I got is legit. I also checked the serial number series and it is correct according to one post somewhere here in head-fi about legit vs fake ones. Got mine from this eBay store. MH755

Looks good to me. I might just buy another pink one from them (they are calling it red but it is a true bright hot pink).

I'm with you there. The P1 is dope and doesn't need a hint of EQ.
