Thanks for the suggestion... which reminds me, I also want it to play flac.

Alright need some suggestions. My Fuze got stolen. Was dying anyway, the wheel didn't work anymore. Now I'm looking for a new player, but don't know whether I should just get another Fuze, or if there's a better player out there that suits my needs. What I'm looking for is a player that:  ...

I got to try a pair of RE0 recently, but found them absolutely horrible. The bass is lacking, and there seems to be a big curve in the highs giving a very unnatural and non-neutral sound. What's the deal? Why are they so highly praised around here?

Yeah um... and what about that sticker in the back that says "true sennheiser"?

Mine starts at the R and it's real 100%.

... the case looks authentic.

Actually it's hard to tell if the R and L are angled or not from those pics. And I thought I read that the red means they're real, not fake. Take a picture of the right earphone withe plug coming from it pointing directly at the camera.

The box looks fake. Is the earphone pic on the top of the box glossy at all?

"The body exhibits "grainy/noisy" appearance when a picture is taken with flash. This is because the body is made of durable metal. Isn't it made of plastic?

Ah thanks, that makes sense. So does the sleep function start counting the time that it's set to after the player it turned ON?

When I go to the system settings, I have the following options: Power Saver > Shut down in _ _ mins Sleep > Shut down in _ _ mins Does anyone know what's the difference between these two options, and what they do exactly? I sometimes forget my MP3 player on, and find the battery...

I think they're worth it. I previously owned a pair of TF10, and found the bass lacking. The IE8 was a nice upgrade in that area. Since when do you have the IE8, and how many hours have you listened to them for? ()

Yawn.... if you're not interested in the poll, you're always welcome to click the x in the right corner of the window. Or in the left corner if you're on a mac.

Ok I was reading this thread http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/h...effect-435636/ and thought a poll could be interesting. Do the IE8 phones burn in?

For those who don't believe in burn in, how would you explain that all of us that have listened to our IE8 out of the box, and after several hours, observed an improvement of the sound quality in very similar ways?
