So I'm considering buying these. I'm looking for some high-quality IEMs for daily use, including running. On the one hand, I like the replaceable cable since the failure point on every set of earbuds/IEMs I've ever owned was the cable wearing out near the connector. On the other hand I've seen some comments indicating that the cables can intermittently disconnect at the earpieces. Can anyone comment on that issue? Also I'm seeing talk in the thread over the last few pages with the tape-mods and so on - I'm not completely clear on what that's about. Is there a problem with the earpieces, or is it just sort of a tinkering thing where you guys are trying to see what happens?
My main headphones are V-Moda M-100s which I really love the sound of. I was also thinking about the V-Moda Zn, however I'm a bit put off by the bulky smartphone controls and cable splitter. I feel like that stuff would annoy me a lot, especially when I'm walking or running. Any comparisons between the sound of the M-100 and the IE80 would be welcome. Cheers!
