Guess what everyone, who mentioned they were hoping for a clear M6?

One more thing, New cables on all Meelec earphones. It's the silvery one in the picture. Everyone should check out their new earphones, the R1 and the M11.

Wow, where do I pre-order a pair? New tri-flanges, too, I see. My girlfriend has just decided to upgrade herself from my PL30s to my Ai-M6's, so I need a new set. Clear M6's look great, but I might pick up one of the new IEMs (depending on price). Eagerly awaiting your review (and maybe jant's if he gets a chance to try them

)

Great news about the cable too - I always thought of the old M6's cable as the cable of death - it was the only sub-par part of an otherwise stellar IEM.

Tempting, but I think I'll wait for the verdict on those cables. They might be the deal-breaker if they're still more microphonic than solid wood.

Don't worry they are far less microphonic then the previous cable, much smoother, much better looking. Also better built. It's just superior.

Augh. I know I don't need any more budget IEMs, but I am still inches away from ordering an M6 and a woody.

Cable on the black AI-M6 has also upgraded with the silvery one. I hope that they overcome the microphonics issue with this new cable.I have ordered sports and black versions (black as a gift to a friend).

Awesome bang for the buck, apparent build quality issues aside. I got a great pair of them!

I'm upgrading from JVC Marshmallows because I read a post on Head-Fi that the M9s "blow these away." I just bought the M9s and I must say I was initially disappointed in them partially because I expected a drastic difference in SQ like when I moved up from using earbuds to JVC Marshmallows. The other reason is although the M9's bass is nice on the low end and deeper than the Marshmallows, it doesn't seem very tight or punchy to me. It seems to make the overall sound more "muddled" compared to the Marshmallows which I think sounds more tight and punchy with a cleaner sound.

I haven't done 20+ hours of burn-in yet, but I'm also thinking it could also be the extremely cheap stock tips they came with them that's affecting the sound; they're very thin and flimsy and are nothing like the foam tips that come with the JVC Marshmallow. Are there any suggestions which tips I should buy and where I could buy them? Someone suggested to buy the UE700 stock tips, but I dunno where to get those.

I have the RE0 and am totally satisfied with it, including the balanced and accurate, IMO, bass response. But I have been thinking about another IEM that is a bit more fun, and that I can use in more knock-around situations so that I can protect my RE0.

So I just ordered the AI-M9 in silver, directfrom the MEElec site. I like the idea of the newer clear cable. $23 USD for phone and shipping in CONUS.

Just an update :

Ai-M9Ps are just back in stock (iPhone headset ver. of M9). I just bought a pair for my Nexus One. MEElec are also doing international orders directly from their webpage now rather than having to e-mail them.

Just wanna say a big thanks to Martie @ MEElec, instantaneous e-mail responses, super helpful.

I just recieved my ai-m9p for my iPhone I must say I'm very very impressed! Really nice balanced sound, not too bassy not too bright, plenty of punch to the sound. I got them during their 1/2 price sale so including international postage they were $25usd



@that_aznpride101 re: marshmallows ... I found using the stock single flange tips getting a good seal was near impossible. Luckilly with a bit of experimenting I can get a good seal on the black double flanges so I'm happy with those. But without a really good seal they can sound quite harsh. Now the sound is much smoother and more natural.



I also decored two Shure olives and they sound great on the M9s but unfortunately they don't stay on very well - I need to apply a little glue to the inside of the olives and then let it dry hard off the earphones, so the inner circumference is a little tighter I think...
