That's a possibility, given that the ie8 seems a bit more lose in the x1060 port than my mx660 jack... its much easier to move, pull up.

Ok so I'm coming back with my crackling issues with my new x1060: - x1060 + mx660 : no crackling at the jack - x1060 + ie8 : cracklings as soon as the jack is moved - s639 + ie8 : no crackling at the jack That is so annoying! I've got something which sounds great but the combination do not...

Maybe it's higher, yes? Let's cross fingers and hope that tomorrow microphonics will be gone. That's what happened with both my iphone3G and my s639... I have everything ready to make a mod, it's planned Not sure which one to try first

Hi received my new x1060 today and once more : BIG MICROPHONICS ISSUE WHEN I TOUCH/MOVE THE JACK! Why, why??? My senn's MX660 jack isnt even gold plated but it doesnt make scrrccchh scrrccch as soon as it moves in my pocket! Is there any kind of chemical reaction between the ie8 and the mp3...

After many issues I fitted comply t400s and almost immediately found a good fit. And wow. A crescendo in one of Bob sinclar's favourite songs made me shivering like never. I would'nt have expected such greatness in my wildest dreams

omg that's pure art! How are the trebles with this extreme mod? Basically, you're filling a sony silicone with a T400, good job! I may give a try if in complete desperation little question : do you have to pull your ear nackwars/upwards or whatever to fit this in?

thanks mark. It's worth a try, for sure. what are the difference between tips and buds in the ebay ad? are they all the same? The weird thing is that the orientation of my ear canal seems to be upright not slightly forward... Hope I'll manage to solve the issue. Now my head is about to...

Thanks all for your suggestions. I guess the way to try is to use a larger bud if I leave them a bot outer as then the seal is quite poor as far as i tested yesterday... Quote: Originally Posted by HONEYBOY With regards to the " faulty jack" if, you referring to the crackling sound...

Hi all, I am slightly worried about the fit of my new pair of IE8s which is actually faulty at the jack, so I am going to return them but I could ask for a refund instead of an exhange. Ok so here is my issue (see photo attached), I found that actually the phones fit ok in my ear canal when...

sooz -> yes i did, same conclusion.

duncan... english is not my native language, so how to describe it... there are some intereferences coming from the jack as soon as it moves for one hear, you know like an old cord which starts to have a bad contact... it makes "scrrcchhh scrchhhh" if you see what i mean. Ad defect of soldering...

argh, damn i switched to play and now amazon are processing at the same price as play?... daaamn that's really not my day (((((((((((((

Noooooooo! I just received my pair of ie8 and it's faulty (on the 3.5mm jack...) ooooh so unlucky...

Great news, my ie8s on the way and hopefully the x1000 at the begenning of next week if play.com does it job right (for once...). fingers crossed! (ps dumb question, but what is the best method for a headphone burn? plug it on a walkman set on power cord and repeat same song max volume for days?)

If they are so good, why arent they much more popular? so far, i read only good comments on them, but slightly worried to import them!

sorry about that! actually i read the many pages and have a clearer idea now. But you know thats important to treat the x1000 with decent earphones amazon come on brings us these x1060!

any other shop which has them in stock now for a decent price, and trustable?

Duncan, could you tell me if there are any concrete differences between the fx500 and fx1000? fx500 can be found around 115gbp abroad whereas the ie8 is something like 199 here. If I understood well both are equivalent, and you even rate the fx1000 better than the ie8. So my question is, you...

I would be very tempted to test such piece of headphone (ie8), but how can I do this? I guess shops have a no 7 day refund policy as it is a headphone? The reviews are amazing, but I have a bad experience with these kind of intras...
