Yeah, 400$ for your IE80, seems reasonable.
And by the way, I got similar issue with my senn IE7 (sound became weak in one side), but at least after some years of use

$240 from Amazon, 2x the price of the EPH100s, wouldn't think twice about it.
Yeh after years of use is normal, happened plenty of times to me with other headphones/earphones. If the EPHs did it after years of use, I wouldn't have made a fuss about it and wouldn't be a design defect. If someone told me that the chances of it dying were 90% after 2-3 years, would not care at all.
Well currently it's at 400$ at amazon.com. There's only one listed price.
Unless you are talking of the old model ie8.
I would have expected the ie7 to work indefinitely, as it has absolutely no trace of wear,
and I use it quite occasionally. I managed to "repair it" by blowing / sucking on vents, but that's not perfect.
But ok, you were unhappy with the eph-100 , that doesn't reflect everyone's experience.
Bought from here: http://www.amazon.it/Sennheiser-504771-IE-80-Auricolare/dp/B005N8W27I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345797201&sr=8-1
took 4 days from Italy to Aus.
I know it doesn't reflect everyone's experience. I'm just warning others that on the off-chance that it does happens to them, it will happen to them again even if they get a brand new pair.
Yes can we have a separate thread for issues since its the same couple people bitching for 20 pages just repeating and repeating the same thing. We ge the point thank you.

Will be getting through it over the weekend, hopefully finished on sunday. Its funny to read some of the comments though.
It would be different for you... If It Were YOU!
Actually it wouldnt, I would repeat the same issue over and over and over again on almost 20 pages in a row.
I have had plenty of phones fail on me and most of the time havent even put anything up on it le alone bang on for 20 PAGES.
Right. 4 back to back pairs of the SAME PHONES doesn't seem to be worth saying anything? What about the others, should the keep their mouths shut too?
Seriously though, you have quite the way of twisting my posts, what is the point in that.
AGAIN WHERE DID I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP THERE MOUTHS SHUT? you flat out twist peoples words to suit your own prerogative.
I thought it was clear in some cases I would have said something in others I have not.
WHAT I WOULD NOT DO (AND ITS IN THE POST RIGHT ABOVE YOURS) IS BANG ON ABOUT IT FOR 20 PAGES.
But you continue to bang on this ???

It's implied in your post. What you said was:
This makes it seem like only one pair failed, and he kept on harping on it when, in reality, he was just documenting his experiences with the multiple RMA attempts, and Yamaha's unwillingness to replace them.
That's why I'm saying your posts are extremely defensive.
lol! You two 
Ok Im out, Ichi will keep on posting about the same thing, you will continue to make your grandiose statements, lets all just return to normal then, good ol' typical head-fi
