Sennheiser IE8 Appreciation Thread - Page 10

Yes, thanks, sorry about the one word request was at work and just heading off to a meeting.

I am literally sitting here at work, waiting for FedEx to arrive... the wait is now killing me!!!! I suppose it won't happen until after lunch today. Between getting the IE8's, and the jovial start to the day with the election being over, I'm most likely not going to get much work done today. .....oh, and the time I will most certainly be spending here.

LOL I hope your boss doesn't pay much attention to you

I've seen on your signature you already have the Klipsch X10. I'd be thankful if you could comment about how do they compare to the IE8 when you try them. I'm specially interested in their "tonality" and timbral accuracy.

Ha ha... the boss is no worry. LOL! I will definitely write up some comments/comparisons with the Images. I'll tell you that right now, the Image X10's are very nice, and have a sense of naturalness that I hope the IE8's match or exceed. I wasn't really planning on upgrading just for the sake of upgrading, but when reading the comments about the IE8, as well as soozieq's impressions of the 7's.... well, I just couldn't help but try them.

Update- they're here. Initial listening commencing..... I'll most likely take 24 hours to gather my thoughts about them. I will say though, they're very comfortable just as everyone else has commented.

I'll be waiting for your comments. Thanks

Not very sure if your boss doesn't caring for your work is good news hehehe. Take care

X2 I'm very curious about the IE8's myself. I had a sale for a pair of ESW9's lined up but after reading about the IE8's decided to hold off and see which I might go with. If I go with IE8's I'd probably have to sell the X10's though.

I too am waiting for cn11's impressions especially in regard to the X10's seeing as they are the same price in the UK.

Well they're here! And I'm sitting here listening to them while I try to get some work done this afternoon. I think it's too early to get into any sound observations at this point, being only a couple hours out of the box, but I am very very impressed with build quality, ergonomics, and isolation. As Duncan says, they truly put you into your own musical world. I love seeing hallway conversations going on, but not hearing them!

I will do some major listening this evening at home, and burn in with pink noise overnight. Stay tuned..............

Mind blowing! After reading all the impressions here... Someone please help me stay away from this thread please!!! (--a guy who just have spent too much money before the xmas!)

Hey you! Are you listening to them right now??? I just know you're playing with them!! Tell the truth I'm very curious about the comparison with the Image, since I think the IE7 is only a small step up from them. If the IE8 is a HUGE step up... then I just have to buy them. The Image made my ears itch like crazy

Oh, and a comparison with the Trips too.
So far, I prefer the Trips to the IE7, although the IE7 midrange is nicer.

You're right, how'd you guess? You made me stop listening for a minute to answer this!! Ha ha!

As for the comparisons, I will definitely include an in-depth comparison with the X10's. As for the TF10's it'll only be based on my memory of them, so it may not be quite as accurate of a description... so everyone will have to bear that in mind. I do want to spend a bit of time getting more familiar with them, and be sure I'm posting the right things.

Ditto for a Sleek SA6 comparison too I hope!

That will be based on memory of them too, because they've been sold! But, I found this current X10 to be very similar to the Sleeks- almost freakishly so- therefore it should be based a little more accurate because of the similarities. I had the X10 & Sleeks at the same time for a while.

I'm hungry for reviews and impressions ><
