I have to admit, that looks way prettier than i expected. How easily does dust stick to the surface?

I never understood the bunch of cables inside either.

As someone who's had to photograph silicone IEMs in the past: Very easily.

FedEx being almost a week early is out of character...

[EDIT] It could just be Grzegorz sending Mim some pics. Ol' Greg has to do some marketing for SE6 right?

Now, it's hard for me to picture green being Mim's choice of colour...

I haven't received them yet, but they are the same as the SE5U. The dust is fine, but with any silicone customs, the color will become cloudy fast, so don't hope for eternal beauty. The number of cables is because they have 6 bores, so 6 crossovers, much more complex than even those 12 drivers with only 3 crossovers.

Gentle reminder that, just like drivers, the quantity of crossovers are no indication of sound quality.

hate to be the party pooper/voice of sanity here

but seeing that people have trouble selling their custom Legends (cause no one can reshell them) , i find buying SE6 (which can not be reshelled , is not available as demo/universal and on top of that cost 2 kidneys) an even more absurd purchase, and something only for the truly rich/dontgivea**** ones

oh well , sanity was never a key ingredient in people's purchases here so i expect lots of SE6 appearing here

If that wasn’t your intent then I humbly apologise for misinterpreting.
Thank you. My intent was just to say that more cross overs requires more cabling (I think), to answer the question on the why the mess inside. But of course it makes it more difficult, from what I have heard to achieve coherence.
