The drivers just die out for some reason, also cable connecting issues. I had my IE 600's rma'd 3 times...

Eventually they sent me a pair of 600s to keep me quiet because I was going to do a charge back. I popped the washer off the 600s and they have been fine for about a year now.

Prices have gone bonkers (gee, I wonder why), I just looked and the 600's are $900??? I paid $499 in nov 2023

But it was IE600 that I kept on coming back to to listen. It was just so good hahah. Since then I've been eyeing for it...

My favourite thing about IE600 is I never get tempted to turn up the volume because I find their sweet spot to be around 55-65db. They have definitely earned their permanent spot on my nightstand for

I returned my 600s after I got the 900s, but I am starting to miss that tonality a little as an alternative at times. It's a little closer and intimate.
