In Very good condition (see pictures) Bought locally in Australia from Addicted to audio January 2021, will come with original receipt. Full set Also see other listing for a NW-ZX507 Which pairs really well with these IEMs Selling as i'm getting out of the hobby Located in Australia...

I honestly hate these, they addictive to that point that i have to control how often i listen to them, like micro dosing crack. 3 weeks on and this is the best set of IEMs i have ever owned

I've had the Z1R before, yes the bass was great (one of the best DD on the market), but the recessed mids and silibant highs aren't worth the trade off imo. There's a case to be made that the M9 is on par with a differnet sound sig.

After pretty much not taking these off for the last 2 days - at the detriment to my anatomy study, i've put up the fastest review i've done and retracted stars from my other IEM reviews, as these are the new TOTL benchmark for me...

Agree x2 on the power aspect, driven off 3.5mm (even though they are rated at 20 ohms) via MBP they sound meh, then with the E1DA 4.4 driven to 75% volume - Wow, just simply wow. Their SQ responds linearly to amperage. EDIT: And to add, as a self confessed bass head, i was worried these would...

Holy crap i just got a pair, the soundstage was so wide and seperated i thought the earbuds where loose... Wow As others have mentioned these are 100% as good as Pure BA IEMs can get, blows the CA Andromedas out of the water - need to take some stars off my andro reveiw now lol

Anyone have any thoughts on the M9 vs the Z1R , i previously owned the Z1R - couldn't get a good fit and couldn't tolerate the highs - but the bass, man, ooft. Willing to comprimise on the bass if the M9 is similiar in other aspects

For example Glamorous by fergie, the lines just after she spells out glamorous sound very harsh. seems to be mainly female vocals Might be me then, had a similar problem with the ier z1r and had to sell those :/

Stock cable, using final audio tips and the stock tips doesn’t seem to change anything tried with a 3rd party cable same thing, maybe mine is defective then

People with H40's, does it have a lot of harshness and shrill in the upper mids/highs? They sound really good otherwise, thinking i my have got a defective unit?

Just got a pair of the H40's sounds excellent. Best of what i've heard in a long time - reminds me of the tia trio but with a funner sound sig and better sounstage, though bit of harshness in the 6k region, will do full review.

i have the Audeze sine (the one with the lightning connector) the Max sound substantially better, that’s why I didn’t even bother comparing them

I’m my opinion they are better than the cascades and on par with the LCD2C through an E30 and atom - getting fed the same Apple Music files. Can’t comment on the AFC2

On par with the Audeze In most aspects. Again the technicalities are better on the Audeze. But yes so far a very good set.

Alright got my hands on them. A/B’d against the campfire cascades and Audeze LCD 2 the max has better separation and vastly better sound stage. No silibance.As others have said mid bass over sub bass. Vocals a bit veiled The cascades have better sub bass. APM is better than the CA cascades...

Bought a pair for pickup tomorrow, will report back on how it sounds

Keep in mind that apple is a $2 trillion + company. They can quite literally buy all the headphone manufacturers on earth and then some. People were talking crap about the airpods pro - until they turned out to be damn good. Same with the lightning to 3.5 dongle which at $9 puts most...

Anyone else feeling that the mid to low price bracket IEM market has a ridiculous amount of good options? Really draws into question what the production cost of the $2k ones are ( number audio ... new york ears .. if you catch my drift)

I agree mate, these sound better the more i listen to them. Not sure about more mids coming through, but definitely more highs coming through. The Seperation is also improving... Very strange.
