After lots of researches and weeks reading on the threads here on Head-fi, I bought my Sunrise SW-Xcape. Two months after being shipped (due to the terrible Brazilian postal service), I got it in hands last week. Wow, finally I had this revolutionary IEM, the best option on the $100 tier!
Put it in ears. Well, it sounded a bit "plane". Ok, I wouldn't judge the sound quality by my first impressions of it, after all, it needed a burn-in to have all the frequencies played. Thought it would get better with its constant use, but anyway, the sound wasn't really amazing.
I wish I could have listened to it in its real form, after some weeks playing music. Today I simply took my Xcape and when I handled it, its left side opened up. Yeah, broke up in pieces and stopped playing. No tosses, no crashes, no smashes.
I hope this is an isolated case (and it probably is), cause I really read a lot of good things about this IEM. Though, this is really really strange.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Not in Sunrise, but in a pair of Philips SHE 9500 where one of the earpieces just came apart. Unfortunately mass-produced equipment is always going to have a degree of defect.
