I would like to ask if the placement of the cable can affect the headphones in any way? I'm asking because when I was plugging the headphones, I accidentally put the right end of the cable in the left headphone and the left end of the cable in the right headphone. However, I quickly noticed this...

I agree with chawaya22, at this pricepoint I expect long lifetime of my IE800 at least 4 years. Or guys you are so rich ,that you can trow away such a expensive things every two years?

Interesting change of cable surface (the cable to the left earphone is affected) with my headphones. From nice soft round surface to hard scalloped just after three months. Here is photo too. I´m sending them back for repair soon probably.

another question, when you send the headphones back for repair or replacement, they will send brand new box I mean bx with new case eartis etc, or they just send new headphones alone?

As it was written by someone here, mine ie 800 has the problem with the left cable too. The right cable is soft and easy bendable, but the left cable is getting harder and harder. This is pretty **** quality for that kind of price, once I find the left cable too hard, I´m sending them back, my...

Hmm what did you do with them, that the rubber felt down? My advice is, try to send them back for repair or replacement, if they are in warranty period.

To chawya22 how you wear the headphones? Over ear or normally how they schould be worn? I use them down way and cable is soft  for now, but I have them only two months and I´m not using them everyday, so I will see how it will end. Now I´m concerned about the curved mesh, I´ve wrote already to...

Hi I just noticed, when I was changing the size of eartips, that the metal mesh at the right headphone is not straight, as it is on the left headphone, it is a little bit curved to the back ( I mean to the headphone hole). I post photo of it here, I think, that it is a production fault, because...

Guys may I ask one question? I t seems that all of you have or had some problem with these iems because you have a replacement pair. So my question is are they so defective? I bought one three weeks ago and I hope that they will survive three years minimum for that price, but it seems that they...

well I think, that on the rubber at the end of the headphones where is R and L marking on left earphone there is a little dot so you can see it or recognize it with touch which headphone is it left or right.

I recieved my today, they are good, small easy to plug in and out and easy to clean, but isolation is not one of the best, it is decent but not the best. But I try to find out, if the are not fake at page qr.sennheiser.com and the Id cant be found, which is strange to me, because I bought them...

wow you have third pair of se846 how come? You are reurning it under warranty or buying new pair? I will probably buy the ie800, if they are durable enough, thats ok for me and the price difference is not that small. Thank you for your advice, I hope that thay will be good. I want to keep them...

Hi, I need a little advice, I ´m going to buy a new pair of IEMs and my favorites are shure se846 and sennheiser ie800 which one is better? I know, that in way of construction shures are better, but ie800 are smaller and they look better and in m country they are 300 dollars cheaper, but i...

ok this is good news, that they aren´t worse than the shure. How durable is the cable and the bottom of the headphones is made of rubber? I mean this part http://tinypic.com/r/28mpe0h/8   is it easy to wear down? Well i will buy them probably anyway, sicnce they are with the shure best available...

ok then I read some reviews IE 800 vs Shure 846 but my favorite are IE800 because of size, but it seems that shure have better sound and better solution of cables, but i think they are just too big/ bulky for me, but I don´t have the opportunity to try them, which is unfortunate.
