Simple answer = No 1. IE7 has lesser soundstage than HD600 2. IE7's highs are recessed compared to HD600 3. IE7 take ages to burn and sound their best 4. There is too much of midbass hump in IE7

IE8 will sound as HD600 but IE8 will be slightly more bassy

23 Years old And all I can say is WOW !!!! Easily beat HD650's in terms of tonality

@ mark I tried my best to love IE7s but ended hating HD595s and IE7s both. If I have to say how much better IE8 is compared to IE7, I say whopping 70% better. This claim is not exaggerated. In simple terms, they are just better for any type of music. I still don't consider myself...

Got IE8 after trying IE7. Got them here UK ebay from some user with name starting with raj. 140 GBP brand new boxed and shipped royal mail special delivery Out of the box, these completely crush IE7s in every respect. First and foremost: More treble, finally. The soundstage is larger than...

Sorry for 2 yr bump. My HD595s made in China developed a crack on headband joint within 3 weeks of light use.

Well I just compared the line out of my Laptop's Realtek Sound card and Ibasso D2+ BOA. I hardly noticed any huge difference. Just soundstage may be little bit big on BOA.

I suspected that but was not sure If Ibasso D2+ is feeding muddy signal into Darkvoice 332, will that improve sound quality?

Please pardon me for such a common question. I was planning on getting Darkvoice 332 amp. But how will I use it ? I listen to songs from my laptop. Is it a DAC as well ? Currently I am using Ibasso D2+ BOA. Can someone explain a noob like me how to properly set up that amp so that I am...
