Stepped on my IE8's right unit. Broke it. Self repaired it. Due to lazyness, did not re-glue it and lost the tip+nozzle in the subway!!!. Just bought the 80's at Amazon.de @ 217€ (8's were 197€ on Nov 2009).    Any suggestions cable-wise? Should I use 8's cable?   Ty.    BTW...

Hi. Are hybrids different from those that come with the Sony in ears? Are they called hybrids for some specific reason. I say this 'cause I got a set of spare tips coming from a now defunct Sony MDR-NX1 but they do not look "hybrid" in any aspect but the form factor. From what I've read in...

I just got my pair a couple hours ago. Fine sound for be OOTB with Iphone 2G and eq on Treble enhance. If this improves with burn-in... fine with me! I', wearing them straight down with cables swapped. I just pulled them away from their housings. I know it's scary... but it worked okay for...

Mine are in transit from Amazon.de..... Is that a guarantee? Do you know they buy straight from Sennheiser? Talking about Amazon itself, not Marketplace vendros. This IS scary.

I just took the plunge. Waiting for the phones to arrive. I guess I'll keep the Klipsch for back-up and for my beloved one whenever she needs tham (she's got some nasty sounding Panasonic's). I won't tell her the price of the IE8's Any recomendations on which tips should be best (now...

Okay, having the IE8 at amazon.de for a nice €197 price I've taken the plunge and will give them a try. Thing is having looked at the Westone's it seems to me their plug will not fit into the iPhone 2g's hp socket. As long as I do not want to get an accesory to plug them, I'll see how the...

Makes kind of sense. Are W3 nice/easy fitting? I've read that might be one of the advantages of X's over plain W3's, although I understand many more tips come with the 3's. To be honest my main concern is getting a set that: 1.- doesn't obscure the music 2.- does provide decent and...

Yep, that's kinda the feeling I had... Although I find weird for IE8's not isolating correctly... Guess I should jump into the Westone wagon. Only concern is for those being a little bass-shy... What's your feeling? Ty.
