Every time I've checked amazon.com for the M6, it hasn't been in stock. No idea what the situation is with them.
I contacted newegg.com (they have the M6 for $35.99 with free shipping, which is the cheapest I could find anywhere), but they refused to tell me whether the new package with the hardshell case is available. I tried asking them if they had a target date when the new version would be shipped out or if I could make a special request for the hard case, but they stuck with their canned response (paraphrased): "We have no control over what version gets shipped out and have absolutely no way of checking which ones are in stock."
Right...
What they really meant to say was, "Yeah, we have a bunch of the M6 earphones with the soft pouches, but we need to get rid of them first before we can sell the ones with the hard cases. So we're going to stay mum on this until all of the old stock is gone."
Now, I totally understand their stance from a business perspective, but I wish they'd been a little bit more upfront with me rather than insult my intelligence by beating around the bush.
For what it's worth, I contacted overstock.com, and they confirmed that the only version they have is the one with the soft pouch. Of course, they only sell companies' excess merchandise, so there's no telling if/when they'll be getting the M6 with the hard case.
The only website that is definitely shipping out the new M6 package is MEElec.com. $39.99 + shipping.
