  Got the meelectronics M6 pro cable a few days ago. Really nice cable for $12 (I got the version with the mic). I would recommend it over the sleek cable. Very comfortable over the ear fit.
 

I had the M6 Pro's a few months back for a while but I totally forgot how the cable is like.
 
I much rather just push the earbuds instead of messing with the cable to get the fit each time, so are the memory or rubberized part near the connectors heavy for wearing straight down?
 
Is the splitter in the middle also very heavy?

I have worn this cable straight down. Neither the memory wire or splitter are too heavy.

My pair finally came in today straight from a Japanese retailer on Amazon.
 
First impressions:
 
The housing looks kinda cheap but feels extremely sturdy.
 
Don't really like how easily I can detach the cable, but I certainly feel more confident in these than the mmcx cables. Probably going to get the Meelectronics cable just in case if these fail in due time. Don't feel really confident in the straight angle plug as always.
 
The cable does feel very light so hopefully there won't be a lot of cable noise. I like the chin slider and how easy it is to slide it up and down.
 
I love the carrying case; looks and feels very premium, but I do think it's a bit of a hassle using it as you would have to wrap it around the molded plastic and somehow fit them in its case.
 
As for sound, I didn't really know what to expect so I expected the worse.
 
These seem to tilt towards the treble more the bass. Coming from the CKR10 and HD 600, these sound like someone scooped out the mids.
 
I think I'm a lot more tolerant on the treble as I did not think it was particularly harsh, though they could have been a bit more laid back, it sounds kinda distracting and unrealistic to be honest. I don't know if splashy is the correct term but cymbal crashes makes a "CSHHH" kind of sound.
 
I had to EQ the treble and upper treble down a little bit for my likings (though I'll leave it as flat for my impressions).
 
Guitars don't seem to pop out, and vocals just seem to be overpowered by the treble.
 
As for bass, it could be more punchy. It's really hard to notice the bass especially because of the treble, it's very interesting because I don't think I have heard anything like this.
 
And after a bit of listening, the treble does get very tiring to the ears..
 
These are no way bad sounding IEMs/earbuds. I'd definitely think treble heads will like these a lot, and aren't exactly my thing.
 
When EQ'd however that's a different story, sounds much more natural and less like it's trying to spear your eardrums.

I do remember others recommending to switch tips, so may I ask which ones?

Yeh i kinda agree with that. I EQ'd mine also when I used it with my Cowon i9+.

Yeah, I don't think I can get into them which is why I'm selling them here. I will list them up on ebay tomorrow at a higher price.

That is so very tempting... I might bite, I need to see how my finances are, but that's a good price for an IEM that I was very fond of when I owned them.

Wow!! Great to see someone still using these. I am still using this after may be 4 years.  Very enjoyable sound!!

These do not have a perfect fit with HJE900, but still works.  The length of the connector is a bit shorter and seems to be a tad thinner than HJE-900

 

[yearsofwisdom]

Any suggestions for replacement cables?

 

[BruceBanner]

This has been talked about quite recently, go back and read a few posts. I also have a pair of HJE900's I'm willing to sell (with a hardly used stock cable) if folk get stuck.

 

[yearsofwisdom]

Does this affect the sound quality at all

[BruceBanner]

I used different cables with mine, never changed sound signature at all. In fact improved it and lessoned the microphonics as I could take my non pana cable behind ears.

 

[vbvb]

The fit is not perfect, with sound cutting off from one ear.  I believe it could be due to variation in quality.  I can adjust the connector and there is connectivity in some positions.  There is no impact on sound quality though when it connects fully.
 
It is a shame that for such high quality earphones, there are no quality replacements.

Getting this thread back from dead . One pair of my first earphones died, and I was hoping to get it back up and running. Any chance any of you have one to sell? I need to replace one of the drivers, as the housing broke when my nephew threw it Shipping would be to VA, USA.

Let me know!
