Quote:   Well, I always prefered running low end bass on seperate speakers. Eq the low end freqs out on everything but the sub.   Quote:   I agree here. It’s all about quality and accuracy. I always ran JL subs in my car so my benchmark for bass is based on those bad boys. I...

Quote:   A little portaple FiiO, the E11. Hold a charge well and relly bangs for house and hip hip. I can listen to the ie80s with out the amp.

Hmm i have $185 in AMEX points, maybe ill be the first here?

Nice, i just built a beautiful rig with a 660ti and a 4.5ghz i5. cop these and get ready for crysis 3.

Anyone grab a pair of these yet?

Lower impedience for me sounds better when amped with a FiiO.

For myself i'd say. . .the tell tale signs of cheap speakers are not being able to handle bass w/o rattle, sounding tinny and unclear. That being said for the most part I haven't heard any cheap speakers that deliver good deep bass. I also feel it is easy for a speaker to deliver crisp highs...

Any DIYers for the SEN ie8/80's cables?

I will be getting these for a test run, they are beautiful in white and therefore I can offload on the wife after boredom seeps in.

Yikes, if i didnt have to ship to Haustralia i would sell you my unused ie80s for 350 but the shipping must be killer.

I reco getting a DAC, one of the FIIO will suit your needs. It will do the job your onboard sound card tries to do. As for playing the FLAC file, I reco Capricio for the iPhone and there are loads of apps for windows FOOBAR2000.

I am trying to post a classified ad, same deal, not able to. I have a set of ie80's im trying to offload. booo

I'm going to get a set of those sleeves and review them. I also have a second of ie80s that I will do a burn in comparo bc I just don't believe in burn in.

I have ie8, ie80 and ie6. There is not a substantial difference moving from the 6 to the 8 or 80. The 80's are the best but the 6s were amazing to me. I've had shures, sonys, klipsh, altrio, monster coppers and the best were the senns ie80, followed closely by the 8s and then closely by the 6s.

First impressions;   Tighter Bass than the ie8 Mids Less emphasized compared to the ie8 Low end is still boomy but not as boomy as the ie8 They sound clearer and more refined.   Happy so far.

I have a pair of IE 80's in the mail. I will post my comparisons to my IE 8's in a week or so after some burn in.  

Thanks! Yea i saw a couple of sets for under a $100 ha, but I have a bunch of AMEX rewards points, so i'm just going to order a set from JR. Thanks a lot for the advice, much appreciated..  

Bass impact as in punch? I'm all about the bass punch, looks like i'm going to trade the CTs in for a Pair of IE8's/  

How are the IE8's compared to the Future Sonics Atrio M5's? I'm guessing the M5's will have more bass but are the mids and highs that much better on the IE8s to warrant the sacrificed bass?  

Hi,   I'm coming from a set of SEN IE6's, which were amazing but i wanted to try something new, something more bassy. So I bought the Monster CTs from J&R and popped them in my ears. I'm a heavy bass head, I love booming deep and hard hitting bass, which i feel the IE6's had. I was thinking...
