The M9 are on 30$ again. The Metro.fi 170vi are slightly cheaper. Which one should I get?
 
Thank you.

Well I'd say my m9s are at least the equivelent of my old Super.Fi 3s which are a model above the metro fi's - plus everyone raves about meelec customer service.

That said, if you have some good quality tips lying around you can get even better value out of the m9s. I use modded shure olives and they're great! The stock tips aren't as bad as some claim but I found it difficult to get them deep enough in the canal for a good seal using the stock single flanges. The biflanges are ok though. Ymmv.

Thank you very much. I haven't decided yet, but my options are now the M9 and the Hippo Pearl. There isn't much talk about the Hippo's around, so I'll probably get the M9.

If you want a cheap deal on the metro.fi's these have free shipping to portugal,

Thanks, that were the ones I saw, but they don't ship electronics outside of the UK.
