TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM
I don't perticularly pay attention to treble, but I think it's safe to say that it's not harsh. When I tested both ha-fxt90 and ie800, the former extended very well and the latter rolled off gently when it reached 15k or so.- Cornucopia

Thanks for the impression Stuff Jones, Yes, I too think some instruments do not sound very convincing. For example, violin and cello as you've mentioned, won't sound as 'emotional' and realistic as akg701's. To compensate for this, you can try to mess around with equalizer like electri-q. I...- Cornucopia

Quote: Laid back to me is hard to say... I am not exactly sure what laid back means. I would say that ie800 does not have fxt90's intoxicating low-rumble. However, ie800 is not lacking too much in bass presence compared to fxt90. Bass is more punch on fxt90.- Cornucopia

TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM
I had a chance to compare ie800 to my brother's ha-fxt90... Wow, Ha-fxt90s are a pair of very engaging headphones. I definately like them! I have to admit that I would prefer fxt90 over ie800 with most contemporary music. Nevertheless, my impression is that ie800 is ahead of fxt90 in a...- Cornucopia

Hey, Stuff Jones! Although its sparkly treble is clear and pleasant to listen to, it might be what's tiring you. I don't really have that problem, though.- Cornucopia

TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM
http://www.geocities.jp/ryumatsuba/ie800.html I found the above website trying to gather info about the headphones. It's in Japanese, but you can still check the measurements out. I tried google translating the sound description. It seemed like the reviewer did not particularly love or...- Cornucopia

kAbUzi thanks, and sorry for late reply. While nothing particularly stands out of the sound, the sound is definitely is on the brighter side. Edit: After spending more time with these, I found that mid is rather forward. It was hard to realize that because I was used to 701's forward mid...- Cornucopia

TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM
I got these yesterday. TDK IE800 is comfortable and lightweight. IE800 isolates well with provided comply tips (take my judge on comfort and isolation with a grain of salt because I am new to the world of IEMs). Two things I need to mention before getting into its sound... -The...- Cornucopia
