Hey all!
I became a big fan of the Sennheiser IE800 after attending a Head-Fi Meetup last year in Babylon, NY. Ever since then I started wrestling with the idea of spending $800 on IEMs with the IEMs winning as of late.
However there are a couple of things about IE800 that i'm not too crazy about. Mainly the non-removable, microphonic cable.
So at this point since I'm already considering plopping down $800 for earphones, I'm wondering if I can do better with a custom IEM.
What I love about the IE800 is the sound; The wide soundstage with clear instrument separation, an emphasized bass, and a lush airy midrange (borrowed form Jude's review).
If anyone has any idea of a perfect custom IEM for a IE800 fan then please, don't be shy!
