Just arrived this morning. So far so good, Packaging is good, really how many times is the box going to be used. Upon first listen (Not broken in) they are good and the fit is awesome. Can't wait to burn them in for 100 hours. I do like my iBasso IT01's better in some respects but the iBasso doesn't even come close in comfort/fit. Great cable but need a short 2-pin for use with ES100. Using with ES100 for bluetooth and MacBook Pro for hard wired. Will update after they are broken in.

Well, they're pretty different. The sound signatures and technicalities are quite a ways apart, so it depends on what you're looking for in a headphone. The M50x's tuning has a textbook, mild v-shape with boosted bass and treble, whereas the Planamic has boosted bass, a fairly present, warm-ish mid response, and a very rolled off treble. The former has a bit of an unrefined quality to the sound (I feel like the waves bounce around the inside of the cups a bit, and the treble gets a touch crispy), whereas the latter is very liquid and smooth (maybe a bit less so in the treble region to piggyback off on jaydunndiddit's comments elsewhere in this page) and can be further refined by using a SPC cable.
It's been awhile since I've heard a pair of the M50x so I can't directly compare the technical sound features with much authority, but I remember it sounding very closed-in, like a closed back would, whereas the Planamic has a bit more soundstage and overall refinement. But perhaps that's because it can be run balanced and the M50x cannot. Of course, form factor-wise totally different as well with tip rolling and cable upgrades being more plentiful for the IEM, further refining the sound to one's tastes. All things being equal, I'd say that the Planamic is more comfortable to wear as an IEM than the M50x is to wear as an over-ear though.

Is anyone having issues with the audio dying in one ear? One ear is super quiet and the other side has standard volume. I have tried changing out the cable but it doesn't work and I can't find anywhere to get support. I have not had the headphones for long and I am disappointed that they aren't working well.

I do think it's important to stress that this IEM can achieve something incredibly natural, detailed, and musical, (with a relaxed neutrality and deep bass when called upon) that's pretty darn versatile with a variety of genre. Far beyond what I've heard in this price range. But it needs an EQ to do it. Thankfully it takes to EQing very well, which I think is part due to the relatively smooth FR with no jagged peaks or notches, particularly in the treble region. The mid-treble might be too recessed by default, but the overall treble levels aren't spiky at all.
That 3.5 review score average is mostly based on the fact that hardly anyone in this hobby uses an EQ.

I've eyed them and the 5000 (I think that's the next model up). FR wise, they appear to be up my alley but I need another pair of IEMs like a hole in the head, haha . Pretty sure the wife is watching my expenses more closely until I sell some of this unused gear off 😅

I guess that's why Audeze made cipher cable for their iSines. These kind of micro planar-type driver might not be able to reproduce natural sound directily out of the driver but they have great response to the EQing IMHO

Harman EQ profile for my fully burned in unit. Adjust bass and treble to taste (especially bass cause my unit is weird)

I want to know what has been done to address the criticisms of the first round release? I assume nothing has been done? Still have a big sharp peak at 4kHz? I like the ideas behind everything written in the descriptions, but the reviews seem mixed at best. :/

Still early in my listening with this IEM, but I'm EQing the climb to that 4k peak out a tiny bit, and it's opening up the sound. Suddenly, guitars sound more natural and vocals less shouty. This feels like something closer to Harman target for IEMs, except the treble's more relaxed and there's a heaping dose of deep bass. I'm digging the hell out of the sound, actually. The great technicalities are worth dealing with an EQ to get that extra level of refinement from this particular driver.
