I clear the eartips and all, but I tried to clean the grills on my JVC HA-FDX1s and the grill came out altogether (was using a needle if I remember right). Either that, or the earwax got stuck in the grills even more because of my tinkering. How do you clean yours and how often?
I inspect mine every time I clean the buds because I use the wide bore azla sednaearfit tips. I clean the tips using women's eye lash brushes & the iem stems using tooth pick or needle. You can buy the little vacuum cleaners for iems but I find if you do regular maintenance every time you clean the buds you won't get the tube building up.
Very easily, they purchase a set of real ones & copy them just like everything else.
If I remember correctly Asia was where sennheiser first started selling these ie600s.

It's more the mesh grills on the nozzles of the IEMs being filled up that bothers me, since you can't replace them with new ones or repair them very easily, or at least not totally. That's why I was wondering if these, the Sennheiser IE600s, were more durable in that regard.
okay, the ones that were sent to me were fake (it's good that we agreed that I check them before I pay).
Box is either the carbon copy, or the seller used the original box. The telltale sign is the grille:
My IE600's left ear bud stopped working out of the blue, allways been extremely careful with it. No bended cables or faulty connectors. Up until now I can count the times is disconnected the mmcx connectors on one hand. Yesterday everything's fine and today the left ear bud sounds about 50%lower. Tested with different devices. I cannot test it with the balanced cable since all my balanced outputs are 2.5mm. Did this happen to anyone else?
I saw several similar reports in IE300 and IE900 threads.
You'll have to open a warranty claim and ship them to Sennheiser for repair to Ireland, and shipping is on you.

While there are general guidelines when it comes to counterfeits, there is no hard and fast set of rules to obtain a genuine unit: only buy from an authorized Sennheiser retailer.
Counterfeiters are opportunists and may try to match how components looks, and other times they don't care. If you rely only on "check the grilles" or "packaging will be blurry" you'll ignore the other red flags. Also, some people are not that detail oriented and even though there may be differences, they are subject to the shopper's eye for better or worse. If it seems too good to be true, move along.
The grilles look like they are way more sloppy in how they were cut in the fakes. Super clean on the real ones.
Also, just returned home after roughly 12 hours of flights (SFO to Boston and back) and using my IE 600's for the entire trip both ways. These are seriously the best IEM I've heard. I haven't spent more than $1k on IEM's so I haven't heard some of the super echelon $2k+ ones but I can't pick a thing I'd change about these guys. The sound is sublime - super balanced, detailed, very fun bass and every song sounds great on them.

Great, as if the iem's weren't expensive enough... Never had an issue with cheap Chifi, ventured into mid tier gear and I get this... Good one Sennheiser, marvellous.
Once they are fixed they go out the door and I'm getting the Moondrop Variations.
Thx for the reply mate, the authorized seller where I got them from is quiet aswell.
LESSON LEARNED.

Also if you don't have a real one to compare it with it would be difficult. The secondhand market would be difficult & the genuine sellers would find it hard.
