I would ask the Wizard whether or not he would be willing to do it. I believe the reason he will not make the 8.A en masse is because of the number of drivers he could not guarantee that it would fit everyone defeating the purpose of a universal fit headphone and there are very few drivers left for the 6.A meaning that it would probably be a waste in addition to the fact that similar to the 8.A again he could not guarantee that it would fit everyone.

Nope. I was talking to him a day or so ago and he mentioned that people had asked but that size constraints made it unfeasible.

Quote:TBH, even IF they were going to consider a 6.Ai or 8.Ai (IIRC, Wizard said that wouldn't happen), I cant begin to say enough good things for the 4.Ai. It truly is a great bargain for the price.

I have dicided to get the sennheiser ie80 over the heir audio 4.ai, mainly bacause im more of a bass lover, and i heard that the 4.ai was lacking in bass and sub-basspost #10 of 1510/3/12 at 10:53pm- anoxy

Did you consider the 3.Ai in your decision at all? I too just ordered some IE80s but I'm having second thoughts on if I made the right decision choosing them over the Heir 3.Ai.
I have, but can you alsoctell me some other headphones that are from 400-600 iems, we are oldering whatever i chose in about a week.post #12 of 1510/4/12 at 4:40ami have the 3.ai and treid out a friend's ie80 before i bought mine. To say if you love bass, ALOT of it, get ie80. If you want nice hard hitting bass and sweet mids with smooth treble, get 3.ai

Well if that's the case, then the IE80 should be the perfect companion for my ER4B. I already have amazing clarity and detail with those, so a nice bassy IEM for dance music would be great.
Edited by anoxy - 10/4/12 at 10:38amMe and my dad just ordered the sennheiser ie 80. They should arrive in 5-8 days, im so exited! But even though they will already be here for a few days, i dont get to see them until October 17th. I will try my best to make a detailed review once i burn them in with some lostless Music of all types, im sure i will be amazed with every aspect of them. Stay tuned!post #15 of 1510/4/12 at 2:54pm- anoxy

Nice! Mine will be arriving around the same time so we will have to exchange impressions.
