    Basslet: Wearable subwoofer for your body.

    Just came across an interesting kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/basslet/the-basslet-a-wearable-subwoofer-for-your-body) concerning a wristband that functions as a subwoofer which can be connected to any device having a headphones input. Any thoughts on the opportunities...

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    I'm actually temped to try something new. There is nothing wrong with the stock cable (except the angled connector which I don't like) but I just want to see if a new cable brightens up the sound like many people claim.  So you have this cable...

    I won't look further into the Comply tips then. Pricing is indeed quite high and I prefer a pair of tips that don't need to be replaced every now and then.

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    Thanks for the suggestion! Those are exactly what I had in mind.   One concern though, does the diameter/bore of the eartip's nozzle match the IE80? A few years ago, I had a pair Sony Hybrid tips which had a great seal but had a very tight nozzle which blocked out some of the sound coming out...

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    Thanks your response! I've actually tried those kind of foam tips that came with my IE80 and I didn't like the feel of the material in my ear. I don't know to what extent those Comply foam tips are diferent but I don't think they will be comfortable to me.

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

    My short review of the S7 Exynos after 2 months of use with a pair of Sennheiser IE80s: - Highs are a bit too harsh. - Soundstage sounds messy. - Low end is sufficiently powerful but lacks definition and detail.  - Vocals sound a bit distant and lack detail - Most instruments, on the other...

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    My IE80 cable just died after 3 years of service. Can anyone recommend an affordable (under $50) custom cable that ships to the Netherlands? While I'm at it, I also want to upgrade the tips. I've heard many good stories about the Auvio tips offered by Radioshack...

    I sent them to the only service center in the Netherlands.Should I demand that they send me a new unit? I dont feel like sending them back which also costs me ten euros.

    Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread

    Sent my IE8's in for RMA one month ago and got them back today. The initial problem was that the volume from the right monitor was quite low and lows were lacking compared to the left side. Now they've sent me a piece of ***t back. The invoice shows that they performed an internal cleaning. This...

    Sent an email 8 days ago to Sennheiser asking when they would send my repaired/replaced IE8(0). Now, eight days later, still no response. ***@#*@*#*!@*#!@*#!*#!@#

    Update: As mentioned above, they were received at their office on March 27. Now, 1.5 week later, I still haven't heard anything from Sennheiser. I also sent an email 3-4 days ago but still no response. Quite dissappointing...

    New IEM, hard choice

    Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, the FX700 is not available in my country (Netherlands). Besides, i've read that vocals sound quite distant on these awhich isn't exactly what i'm looking for. Regarding the EX1000, their sound signature seems to appeal to me but their form factor (size...

    New IEM, hard choice

    Hi fellow headfi'ers, After having enjoyed my sennheiser ie8's for two years, I think it is time for something new. I had a love/hate relationship with the IE8's, sometimes they sounded like crap considering the fact that the bass is quite muddy, mids are recessed and the highs are not really...
