Question about Sennheiser IE8 Warranty Repair
Okay, so I received my replacement pair today earlier in the mail. It turns out they're another pair of IE8is, but "factory refurbished."- MagicX

Question about Sennheiser IE8 Warranty Repair
Quote: The right earpiece was losing signal/volume and was getting to the point where almost zero audio would play out of it (it wasn't the cable, I switched the sides to see if the cable might have been causing it). No physical damage or anything as I've babied my IE8s.- MagicX

Question about Sennheiser IE8 Warranty Repair
Hey Head-Fi'ers, I have a quick question about my warranty repair for a pair of Sennheiser IE8s. Unfortunately, my beloved IE8s stopped working properly but I found that I was still within my 2-year limited warranty (based on my purchase date from Amazon). So I mailed in my IE8s and...- MagicX

Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread
Quote: The price difference for the IE8i being lower actually doesn't make sense to me. That is technically the flagship version since it has additional features with the cable not offered with the standard IE8 model. However, my guess to the lower price is that most people end up...- MagicX

Already own Triple.fi 10s, about to buy some Sennheiser IE 8s....
So as it turns out...I've been up since 11 pm listening to music with my IE8s. I CANNOT take these out of my ears. Also, I am finding it near impossible to go back to my TF10s now. The TF10s do have more pronounced treble, however I feel that the amount of detail between them and the IE8s are...- MagicX

Already own Triple.fi 10s, about to buy some Sennheiser IE 8s....
Quote: I agree with you. I've been laying in bed for the past hour with them in just listening to music. They're so comfortable it's like they're almost not even there. It's strange because I once thought that the Triple.fi 10 Pros (with the flip-side mod) were fairly comfortable, but...- MagicX

Quote: I wouldn't say that they're super dark in their sound signature, but the IE8s are definitely darker than the TF10s. However the IE8s aren't meant to be neutral sounding at all - I would say that they're meant for a "fun" sound signature. After a couple of hours with these...- MagicX

Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread
My IE8is arrived! HOORAY!!! 4 songs in, and I already love these things so damn much.....the bass and soundstage is exactly what I am looking for in an IEM. The mids and highs are there too in good detail, the highs aren't too harsh either.- MagicX

My IE8is have arrived! I'll put some opinions on them after I spend a significant amount of time breaking them in. :)- MagicX

Quote: Right - don't get me wrong, I love my TF10s. :) I've had them for about 2 1/2 years now. However, I also wanted another pair of high-end universal IEMs that could complement them nicely.- MagicX

Quote: I most certainly DO have an airtight fit on the TF10s. I use bi-flange silicon tips that came with them and those give me a perfect seal in both ears. The bass quality is there (detail wise), but the quantity that I desire is not.- MagicX
