That's really a shame if they really aren't the same. I thought of buying the maroon ones but though "Well, gonna give the extra dollars and get the newer ones, they should be better". I guess i was wrong :/

I have had both. They sound the same to me. I will say that the sound does change a bit with burn in. They will "smooth" out a bit and the bass with become a little more controlled. Maybe the people saying the new style was a bit more harsh didn't give them enough time to burn it.

The new ones are better. Sound quality isn't the only factor when it comes to IEMs. The new M6 are built better, come with better accessories, and most importantly are completely free of microphonics. The old version is reported to be a cable noise nightmare. A lack of microphonics translates into a de facto, yet very real improvement in sound quality on the go.

I can attest do that. The build quality on these is AWESOME! The tips are pretty good too. I use them alot for workout and they work wonderfully. I will burn them in more and see where it goes. They only have around 15-20h of music at normal levels so it isn't enough i guess. And maybe i'm spoiled by the ultra smooth RE0
Yes. The microphonics is an issue with the original. I usually recomend to anyone to get the new improved one unless they say the limit is $30. Even then, I let them know MEE often has sales and the new version will drop down to around that price. And I do have both and as long as I'm not moving around, they sound the same to me.
Try getting some sony hybrid EX-EX10A tips for the M6. They offer a modest improvement in SQ, are more comfortable, and the better seal means slightly better noise attenuation. None of the benefits are anything to write home about, but taken all together -and considering the hybrids last a long time (as opposed to complys) - they are worth another $10.

The great thing about the hybrids, at least in my experience, is that the colored core of each one if very, very resilient. I've gotten them to stretch over M6 posts as well as larger ones like the M9 just fine.
I also agree with people's comments that the M6's sound is good, but the isolation is just okay. If your ears are like mine, then you'll likely not get a perfect seal, but they're far from uncomfortable or listenable. I always carry these with me wherever I go, so take that as a testament to their overall quality
Im using the old M6 coppers and i have zero microphonics. i actually quite like the coppers, except they are oxidising so its kinda greenish. Was hoping that it will oxidise equally so the effect will be kind of nice but it didnt so there.
My impression is that they are SO BRIGHT, so SPARKLY SPARKLY that its actually tiring to listen to. Great fun, but not for too long. Its the first earphone i had that can tire me out. Which is not a bad thing, but i only wish i could wear it for longer periods.
Oh yeah and the brightness of the earphone actually makes the mids sound a bit radioish in a very nice way. Vocals are not the strong point of the M6s though.
Has anyone experience M6's one side's volume being slightly louder than the other?
Not sure if mine is defective, or just my ear going bad after wearing bluetooth headset on one ear for too long....
Never noticed it with other IEMs....

Yes, I had the same problem: it was a tip problem. I was using the smallest ones (usually, the size that fits me) but since the phones somewhat "force" the insertion position, my left ear has a different amount of seal. I changed the tips and with the largest ones the problem dissappeared.
Of course, you may have a faulty pair. If you can give the phones to other person to test if they problem is in your ears or in the phones, you can contact Meelec afterwards in case they're faulty. I'm sure they will fix the issue.
can it happen, yes but its most likely just a fit imbalance. keep adjusting and ig you cant get it sorted them you can always contact MEElectronics, they have fantastic customer support

It happens sometimes with universal IEMs, just because not all ears fit the given tips perfectly. It happens with my hippo VBs. What I do is use my player's pan/balance to counteract this problem. You don't need alot, for me just 4% to the right balances them. YYMV.
