Has anyone tried using the ier-m9s with the utws5 bluetooth ear hooks & if so what are your thoughts.

Not the best, M9 really seems to like a more powerful source than most IEM.


My Moondrop Variations sounds better when paired with the UTWS5 or my phone but M9 pulls ahead when I use the W2-131 balance out.

I have a Qudelix 5k in the post as well as the utws5 so I could use either. This hobby is addictive & expensive. Lol

FWIW, I use M9 exclusively with Q5K and it's great.

I just hooked the m9 & utws5 up yesterday & spent about 5 hours with them they were very good to together I was surprised how great the m9 sounded. To be honest without hearing them side by side 4.4 balance & utws5 i wouldn't no the difference. I used my A&K sp1000m dap which has v4.1 bluetooth opposed to the v5.2 of the utws5, I also tried them with my gallaxy note9 with v5.1 bluetooth which was surprisingly a touch better. So it looks like I may have to buy another m9 for cable inside listening again.

Yes I knew the Qudelix 5k would be no problem with the m9 but I'm glade the utws5 worked out well because it does feel better to me with no cables while walking, working & driving.

Hey everyone! Just got a pair of IER-M9s in a trade and I'm loving them so far. Does anyone know of any good compatible cables with modular/swappable terminations?

There doesn't exist an official one, but every MMCX should work.

I tested the FiiO ones and they worked just fine

Ah, gotcha. I'll check out some of the FiiO ones then. Thank you!

I don't recommend buying the swappable LC-RC cable from fiio, the terminations are incredibly hard to swap and defeat their entire purpose. I would recommend looking at DUNU swappable cables, those have a patented quick release cable which can be managed much easier than Fiio.

 

[Vamp898]

I personally would not buy any swappable cable at all, but thats just my personal opinion. I'd rather use an Adapter.

As i can use my DAP as an USB DAC and/or Bluetooth Receiver, i always use 4.4mm. I rarely, if ever, find myself in situations where i would need something else.

And if that is ever the case, i'd just get an 4.4mm --> 3.5mm Adapter. Getting from 4.4 to 3.5 is extremely easy (only the other way is complicated).

 

[Ra97oR]

I use the DDHifi DJ44C 4.4 to 3.5mm adaptor with all my IEMs terminate in 4.4mm.

Quite pricey but well built and compact

My EP-NI1000 are now 3 months old and i use them several hours every day with the IER-M9.

They are a bit dirty but after cleaing, they look like new.

For comparison, when i use "normal" foam, they look worse after 1 week. So compared to normal foam, because they last so long, they are defenetly cheaper in the long run

Have you tried the standard Azla Sedna earfit tips on the IER-M9 ? I find them excellent.

They are silicon aren't they? In that case i see no use in trying them. I tried like 6 different types of silicon and they were pretty much alle the same to me.

All of them had air pressure issues (no surprise, silicone blocks air). I can fit silicone with some fiddeling and refitting and trying. The Sony M-Size and the SpinFit M-Size and the Canal Works S-Size Gel-Filled for example work just fine.

But when i use my face muscles, the sound constantly changes due to changes in the air pressure and the isolation is way worse and also i hear myself (my body) way louder.

As the Sony EP-NI1000 fit and sound perfect, i see no reason in further testing. I already wasted too much money on a box full of eartips that i can't use^^

Some photos I took of my M9s with the rest of my Sony gear, thought ya'll would appreciate!
