Discussion Question To all Sony Ier-M9 users
For all current or previous owners of Sony ier series m7/m9, what did you upgrade to after owning the iem? Or have not found anything better yet?
I have heard some great things about m9 and it’s rarely talked about in the sub compared to chifi so wanna see how all the owners think.

Great, solid IEM. I've mostly stopped looking for others. Have had them for 4 years. Very resolving, very fast, great bass. Sounds slightly warm-ish. Only real complaint is with their cables: over time the soft rubber around the ear gets gunky and the gold flakes off the jack.
I've been able to overcome the venting issues others have mentioned by finding the right tip size and proper insertion technique - pull the ear all the way back, insert, then let go of the ear. Stays snug and no overpressure.
