Is the opening bigger or just deeper than the stock pads?

  Me too!  Just got my notification.  Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend.

  I ordered on 8/17.  Still not shipped either.  But at least they're shipping out.  Can't wait to get mine.

I just got a pair of Momentums yesterday in black and red. 1.  The headphones look very modern and stylish.  It looks great without being over the top like Beats. 2.  The lambskin cushions are amazingly comfortable. 3.  The sound is incredible for the stuff I listen to and do even better...

1. lack of treble energy (but not necessarily treble response) I'd agree with this point although I can't say it's necessarily a con. Just depends on your personal preference. 2. over prominence of bass - particularly mid bass... From an analytical standpoint, I'd agree that there is a...

Thanks for the thorough impressions. My experience with the IE8's so far are exactly what you have described even with only 80+ hours of burn in. The mids and highs sometimes get washed out by the prominent lows. Sometimes thats a good thing, other times it's not. The only area where...

Another update with 60 hours of burnin: Highs: The highs are now very good. Excellent detail with no hint of simbilance. For people that like sparkly highs, these will probably fall just a tad short. Might be something EQ can fix. For me, this is just about right. I need to do more testing...

I'm trying to find a post that was probably made in this thread but just can't seem to track it down. Someone posted how to neatly wind the IE8 inside of the case so that it fits perfectly everytime. Can someone be so kind as to point me to that post.

After 24 hours of burn in, here is my impression. Highs Still nothing special but at least they don't sizzle. My ears are a bit sensitive to highs and so far the IE8's are producing very satifactory sounds here just nothing spectacular. Mids Sounds much better than out of the box. Not...

So my IE 8's came in the mail today. Woohoo! First impressions out of the box is not so great, but is what I expected after reading on the forum. Highs Nothing special so far, but I haven't tested any material that really pushes this area. MidsThe mid sounds very veiled. Almost like it's...

FYI. I had Earphonesolutions price match Headroom since they're out of stock. Got mine for $319.99 including priority shipping.
