Get itchy can be the tip you are using or just normal body reaction to the long exposure to the "strange body" in contact with your skin.

lol. in this case you're lucky it's only getting a bit itchy.Or probably the fact that I'm using them 12+ hours a day.....

Amen!
I've always been big on IEMs, but these are truly the first ones which allow me to listen to music all day long. Polaris gets awfully painful at around the 3 hour mark, and the UE900 at around the 6 hour mark. These, I can listen to them all day long and my ears would not even complain more than a slight itch.
Andros - warmer, more weight on the notes, smoother tuning and better texture.
M9 - sharper, better imaging, better separation, more realistic soundstage, detail monster.
EX1000 - better bass than both (DD bass). Brighter in the lower treble but lacks the sparkle of the other two. Best dynamics of the other two.
They’re on the same level. It’s hard to pick one over the other. That’s why I have the M9 and Andros Had to sell EX1000 bc of the poor fit for me and lack of isolation.
Thank you for your words... I'm a big enthusiastic of EX1000, fit and isolation aren't problems to me. I think I'll need to weigh my decision a little before making another big investment
I've been tempted to get the M9 despite owning several other hi-end IEMs (Z1R, Solaris, Andromeda, EX1000, Xelento, SE846) not to mention many 'lesser' IEMs.
Is the M9 different enough than the above to be worth getting?
Yes, I’ve demo’d or owned all the ones you’ve mentioned and they excel in one way or another comaped to what you listed:
Z1R - M9 more comfortable
Solaris - M9 better separation and imaging
Andromeda - M9 more transparent
EX1000 - M9 actually has isolation! And more extended highs
Xelento - M9 better soundstage and doesn’t sound congested
846 - so long ago, don’t remember anymore. Probably M9 sounds tonally better from recollection
Thanks for the feedback, Colors. Is the M9 your current "go to" IEM?
