Lost my IE8's, I think they fell out of my pocket

. I looked everywhere and couldn't find them so now I need another pair of IEMs to replace them.

While I liked the IE8's, they were just a LITTLE bit too bassy (although I love bass) and the fit was never that great (although they were super comfortable to wear for long periods). However, what I DID like about the IE8's is the airyness and relatively large headstage.

I've been out of the headfi scene for a while (left as soon as I got IE8's so that I wouldn't catch upgraditis) so could use any helpful suggestions for a new pair of IEMs.

P.S. My other phones that I use are PK1's and I love their sound. I've also owned SE530's for a few days but didn't particularly like them.

Have you reported your IE8s missing to the police? It's a long shot, but could end up helping.

I too had the IE8s and did not like them at all because I do not like a lot of bass. You should check try out westones or even the GR8.

Haven't seen any review about the GR8, maybe you should axe around.
