&%^#$&^%#, it sounds A LOT better with an portable amp ie. the Fiio E12A I have with me now.

I have had them for the weekend now, full review will be when I get my Fiio E12A but for now a first impression. Compared to my IE80s wich already have a great bass the entire lower spectrum is amazing. The rest of the spectrum is a bit less detailed although the soundstage is pretty wide and...

My pair is laying at the postal office, will be picking them up after work.

Photos look great! How would you describe the fit in your ears with them being so big? Have you tried them with any custom foam tips(Comply etc)?

Same here, they give me a perfect seal every time, be in the winter or the summer, no difference :)   Much, much better than silicone tips. Havent tried other foam tips though.

Im looking for a IEM portable amp, mainly for the Sennheiser IE80 and the http://www.head-fi.org/t/784376/new-audio-technica-solid-bass-flagship-iem-ath-cks1100   ATH CKS-1100 Specifications:

Which amps would pair well with an iPod classic + ATH CKS-1100? $100-$300. edit Would a Fiio E12a be a good option?

Just bought a pair from eBay! I'll be sure to make a review once I have them, allthough I dont have much comparison material (IE80, Brainwavz M2).

Allright, thanks!

What would be the best place to buy these for someone in Europe? I dont care if it costs a bit more. Also would I need an amp with this piece?   They seem like a good replacement for my broken IE80s

What would be a good replacement for an IE80? Around the same price, too.   Detachable cables are a must. I am waiting till http://www.head-fi.org/t/784376/new-audio-technica-solid-bass-flagship-iem-ath-cks1100 so I have some time to read reviews till I decide.   Thanks!

My sennheiser IE80 finally broke unrepairably last week (Its now only holding together by glue).   I might have found my replacement!

I got 20% off my next purchase, so I'm happy it got resolved this easy. Also bought some new comply foam tips :)

After 7 months my replacementcable from custom-cable.co.uk broke :( Still very keen on my IE80's so I'm getting new cables, but pretty dissapointed they broke so quickly even though I'm always very careful with them.... It seems something broke or is lose inside the 3mm jack, when I press it...

Sound quality wise I dont hear any difference. But it has been a while since I used my IE80s so I need to give it a few more days. But so far so good. As for the thickness, one might find a less stiff cable better, the other finds it annoying. I dont have equipment to really objectively test...

However, after some more use I found two differences. One was that it was way harder to plug the earmodule in the cable and two that the cable itself is thinner, or more flexible. My old cable could almost freeze stiff when it was cold but these stay soft.

Yes, that one! The mailman just brought the packet here, have been listening to them for 10 minutes and they sound exactly identical. The package was just like other Sennheiser spareparts. No doubt these are original cables! Well worth the price. Great service too, bought on thursday, send on...

Bought a spare set of cables since my original broke, at customcables. I hope they arrive this week. I have been using apple inears for some time now, I want my IE80s back :(

Still pretty happy with my IE80, recently "upgraded" from my 2nd generation iPod touch to an iPod classic 160GB. No a big different soundwise the only thing that bothers me is that it doesnt respond as well on the lower volume settings as it did on my iPod Touch. Will an amp fix this? Also the...

Alright, thanks!

I have listen to an iPod classic, but that was 1)an older generation (older generation 80GB) and 2) the guy used 128/256kbs mp3's so thats not really comparable material. Havent recieved my iPod yet.

Hey all! Just bought an used iPod Classic 160GB so I can carry al my music in ALAC without worrying about space too much. I used to use my 2nd/3rd generation iPod touch 8GB. I used it in combination with the Sennheiser IE80, no amps. Sound was great. But I wonder if there are any difference...

Now I am using an iPod touch 3G with and Sennheiser IE80. Sound quality is alright. The problem is though, it's only 8GB's. And just got the realization I have a great smartphone so I don't need it for that purpose anymore.   So basically, I am looking for something with more storage that is...

Good seperation ? I have also looked at the EPH-100s but they seem so fragile, not to mention the weird tips. But hey, if they sound good :)   Hmm, after some good reads now I think the IE8(0) is the best option.   What are the difference between the IE8 and the IE80 ? Wich one to buy ...

First of all, I hate making sepperate threads for recommendations, it makes the forum unordenend and such. But I haven't gotten much response it the designated threads, so I am trying this way anyway.   Basically, I am searching for a replacement for my Brainwavz M2. They sound great, they...
