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?

Haven't had an issue with driver failures, the cable does have a very flimsy mmcx connection. One IEM may be more loose on one side than the other but you just have to press into the connection from the IEM to get a better seal, I do that and I never have problems with audio cutting out.

But if the mmcx port is too weak, Sennheiser will almost always just ship you a new pair if you send it to them.

The IEMs themselves are built excellently and connect just fine. And they sound phenomenal, definitely worth having to deal with fiddly cables every now and again.
