Sennheiser IE 600 for $630 AUD (~$410 USD) — worth it? Definitely tempted, but a little worried about QC issues. (alien.top)

Seems like a great price for a well-regarded IEM, however the supposed QC issues (sound cutting out, driver failure, etc.) are making me second-guess myself.

To those who own the IE 600 (or any IEM from the IE series for that matter), what has your experience been like in terms of reliability? Is it worth the risk?

I had two pair. The first would have the sound pop occasionally in the left ear. If I disconnected and then reconnecting the MMCX, it would fix it temporarily for a few days. I only used that pair for two weeks before deciding to send it back.

My second pair hasn't had any issues. I've used them almost almost daily for 4-5 months so far.
