Accessories
 |
All of the accessories included are useful! I love that custom RHA case included!
Oh by the way that's a patent pending eartips holder! :)
|
Build Quality
Wow this IEM is solidly built! Clearly the strong point of this item. Everything feels so premium and top notch, from cables, strain relief, y splitter, audio jack, mic, eartips to aircraft alloy housing.
 |
| Oh that finish! Air Craft Aluminum Goodness! :) |
 |
Tank like aesthetics plus 3 years warranty, you cannot go wrong with that! :)
Cables are plastic shielded which feels really very durable too!
|
Aside from that, RHA made this In Ear Monitors so gwapo (a looker / classy) and did not sacrifice design in order to create a tank like tough IEM!
 |
| That 3.5mm L Jack feels top notch too and won't break even with great abuse |
Comfort / Isolation
Comfort level is a little above average, it sits just right to my ears. I could wear this for hours without fatigue. I actually prefer the quality of its tips than my old favorite sony hybrids eartips.
Meaning their tips have really really good quality! Just choose your preferred tips and everything will be okay. :)
 |
| With the right set of tips you may achieve maximum comfort and isolation!Choose the best for you! Oh by the way that double flange tips is soooooo soft and its the 1st time I fell in love with bi-flanges. Good job RHA! |
Isolation however is just perfect for commutes, you can fairly hear outside noises from vehicles as this will make you still aware of your surroundings.
Sound Quality
From my initial SQ impressions, out of the box MA600i is really warm warm warm boom boom pow! The 1st thing we noticed is the warmth and huge bass quantity of sound production from Tiestö Life Chasing Summers and Franco's Better Days Instruments really stood out!
 |
| V-shape Goodness! (Good for bass and treble lovers) |
Soundstage is above average and has a very open feel as well. Everything might change after its burn in period. RA600i is a very good v-shaped all rounder from what we've heard so far. Generally consumers who wanted bass bass bass and treble treble treble would surely like this.
Overall I seem to like the sound quality of this one specially when producing clear vocals even in loud volumes and bassy tracks. I believe that it have a lot potential with the right source matching.
So far I believe that MA600i out of the box sounds just right for the price (one of the best sounding IEM with microphone for iDevices) with a build quality that rivals $300 IEMs. In that sense this one is definitely a good buy!
Microphone
MA600i's microphone is said to work only for idevices, however I will try to use an adapter like Fiio LU1 (Watch out for my full review) to test if it might work with other devices especially Android Phones. In general it's microphone voice quality is really good!
