Received my M350 last week and have been playing around with them for about a couple of days worth. ( @Sunstealer )
Some first impressions:
I had zero fit or seal issues with these. The earhooks feel slightly flimsy though.
Without EQ the sound is slightly bizarre. I'd say it's good if snare drums is the thing you're most interested in as they are the most forward thing in the mix by far. However, bass quality/quantity is surprisingly good even without EQ.
With EQ the sound can get really good. Didn't have time yet to adjust it very far, but you can EQ a good amount of bass, upper mids and low-mid treble in. High treble is surprisingly good and airy.
One thing that was conspicuous with these is that they react strongly to amping/sources, even more so than my Tri i3. Of the sources I tried so far the DX220 with the AMP9 tube amp module sounded easily the best, giving a vibe very close to a bassy full-size planar (with EQ of course). Well, I'm currently interested in portable tube hybrids anyway and have ordered some more of those. Didn't yet have time to try my desktop dacs/amps.
And then after about two days the right side mmcx connector started cutting off and then stopped working. Looks like I'll need to return these and get a replacement. Could post some further impressions after that.
