@ericpalonen Hi !

WoW we got a new ie 600 is amazing stuff! Its impressive how versatile is that 7mm driver you can do so many different iems with one driver and tune it so vast possibilities.

If I understand correctly the new ie 600 is like the 900 but more bassy and has more sub bass too?
With a different flavor for vocals?

How about sound isolation is it the same as ie 900?

Oh and when can I preorder those in canada? I dont see the preorder button available yet

No need to create another HD 600, it already exists

Great to hear from you @Vitaly2017 !

The 600 indeed slots in between the 300 and 900, and although there is some sonic DNA shared between them all, the IE 600 is voiced uniquely. Head-Fi'ers would be able to identify which is which if blindfolded and having read the descriptions of each just prior.

Isolation is about the same. The 600 has a little more "heft" to their physical weight (and bass response) that to me, feels so good in the ear. They have almost identical geometry and nozzle excursion. We'll update you all with the pre-order situation as soon as possible, but urge to check with your favorite dealer about placing a pre-order, even if a soft commit. I will keep pressing for updates for you all.

Looks like HiFiGo has them listed for sale here.

If I order the IE600 from hifigo, could warranty be claimed in europe ?

Hmm in all my years I've never been asked that. I'll check. Global warranty implies this but let's be certain.

I have used hifigo warranty from Spain. It was for a Hiby R3 Pro. I had to send it to China, but all ok.

Any case, I will wait until it will be available in Europe, and I will have 3 years of warranty.

Thank you feels great here too to meet good old friends

My audio hobby has extremely changed for the past year and I sold all my portable audio gear. I moved to a very high audiophile level home stereo where I invested 30k and yes I think its crazy a lot but what you get as sound in return is just unbelievable
I have atc scm40 speakers, naim supernait 3 amp with HiCap power supply and dac is nd5 xs2 with naim cables and Furutech empire power cables. ( Haven does exist )

Back on to subject when I saw Sony new 1A/1Z M2 with android streaming, oh my god I instantly wanted to buy it and pair with IE 900 plus 1A m2! Seeing ie 600 oh and more delicious sub bass oh mannnn.
My heart is glowing on ie 600 with 1a m2 now. This hobby is never ending hahaha we always find a new love with new audio release's

I really dig for that better bass in ie 600 I think it will be more fun and more pumping vs 900. And lower grunt as it goes deeper. When I am on the go I found my self enjoying more music where you have more bass, it makes your journey more pleasant and interactive. Is like your state of mind changes and your concentrated more on what your doing as an activity, so a very seriously tuned high audiophile tuning is not what is the most compelling in such a situation. This why I think ie 600 will be a better companion on the go and ie 900 for the more serious and very demanding listener.

Can't wait to try the ie 600 GLOWS !

That finish on the ie 600 is so dope. They look very unique

 

[Ichos]

But also "cheaper" than the luxurious IE900!

It'll be interesting to hear how it is versus FD7 and I think another logical comparison, ZEN PRO.

I don't know if I have the time for a full Headfi review but I will surely provide my thoughts in this thread.
Unfortunately I don't have the ZEN Pro.
