IE8 question for IE8 users: Silver screw or black screw?

So Duncan brought up that he had seen some pics of them with a silver screw: Post
I then decided to search Google and this came up:


It has a silver screw with an opaque wire base (Correct term)? Whilst I observed that my one had a black recessed screw and translucent wire base. I am wondering which ones you have, and if one of them is an older model, or newer model.


Also the press shots of the IE8's seem to have a silver screw... Odd.


This is a pic of my one.

Posted this at that other IE 8 thread:

Ok, the bass knob should be in black. Pictures of the IE 8 with silver knobs are of the none-working prototype. Even the connector is translucent with the commercial IE 8 (the prototype is different).

Sennheiser haven't updated all their websites with the final look, so don't worry about it.

Oh right, thanks for that info.

oh no you poor thing just noticed your running them off a 1st gen touch, the 1st gen had really inferior sound quality (i know i owned one) the 2nd gen really cleared things up and added some important new sound chips too the device.

I am running it off my MacBook at the moment, but I need a new mp3 player. I might wait till the 3rd gen iPod touch (Might be pretty good, hopefully an OLED screen and dual core GPU) At the moment it'll do since I am not a "True audiophile" I'll save up a bit till the new iPod touch comes out (September) By then, I will have to choose between the Cowon S9 or that. Oh well, I'm one of the early owners of the iPod touch, bought it 2 weeks after released.
