my left bud (of ie8) produces a rattling sound when I increase the volume to like above 12 on ipod(4) and it clearly rattles at "quality" test on below website http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php they are original and i bought them second hand about 2 month ago n i didn't...

Well I bought an IE8 a few years ago. But I've seemed to have lost it. Now I'm looking for a replacement. I do still have a Shure 535 set when I'd like a more flat response. So, I like the fit of the IE8s, they're comfortable, light, and has a very flexible cord which is good since I take them...

So, as much as I love my IM05 and IM02 series but are very loud headphones and they distract my colleges. I want something that leaks very little sound, right now I have customs and it is working perfectly but I have to send it for remolding meaning, i will be 1-2 without headphones in the...

I want to first say that I've demoed/owned a lot of IEMs. I never seem to keep them longer then a month due to either losing them, them breaking or me just giving them away. This is why I don't list any IEMs in my profile. With that said I can't see the appeal of IEMs, well expensive IEMs. I've...

Hi, been quite a while since I've posted on these forums, I usually pop in when I want some new kit :s   I've had my IE8's for about 3yrs now, and have loved them, but they don't know seem as good as they used to, and the seal for me is getting worse and worse (I use foamies, I've used them in...

Hello   Has anyone heard both of these in-ears? I have the IE8 now, but would love som more sparkle in the treble and more details. Would it be an upgrade to get the Fischer's?  I listen to a wide range of music, and wouldnt want to miss a lot of bass and the big soundstage like the IE8 has...

More than a little down this morning here in Thailand - had an absolute blinder last night but it would seem that I've lost the one pair of expensive IEMs that really did it for me (my Shures have been a major disappointment from day one, but the Westones were great). Given the relative ease...

Hey guys,   I am on my second set of IE8's for the past 7 years and I just LOVE them, they are so sturdy and I love the sound!, but the oem cable usually goes first, and I have tried several "upgraded" cables like the "Night Stalker" and other I can't recall right now, and they were subpar...

Hello, Just want to share this small DYI effort with others who are in similar needs as I am regarding wireless sound. I was looking for a BT APTX headset with nice sound quality for quite a long time. Tried different over and on-ear options and realised I also need in-ear one with sound...

Listen to rap and instrumentals by artists like Jamie xx/JDilla and was wondering what is the better IEM for this type of music. Also I have a pair of Bower and Wilkins p7 headphones and the c5 earphones, how do these compare to the IEMs I mentioned? (Westone w40 or shure se535. Thanks a lot guys! 

My IE8 have developed a problem where the volume is getting progressively lower in the right earphone over the last couple of months. Now the sound sometime gets cut off on that side unless I twist the cable or unplug and re-plug the cable.   I had this problem with my 1st pair of IE8 one...

So, I am looking for a new in-ear to use while at the gym. Sadly my right Sennheiser IE8 nozzle randomly decided to break off. This leaves me without a pair of in-ears to use as im not fond of using my more expensive pairs. So i have done a bit of searching here on recommended headphones for gym...

I am looking for a pair of IEMs. I am pretty interested in the Shures SE535 Ltd Ed but i just want to know if there are other good ones out there with better soundstage and clarity. I heard the Senns IE80 are good. What do you guys think?    Any other good IEMS too

So Ive been looking for a pair of in-ear headphones with a removable cable. i have read other forums about them being out there but couldn't exactly find a pair on the market. Does anyone have any knowledge and actually brand of such type of headphones??

Pros: Deep, deep bass. Very crisp highs. V-shape sound body is ideal for baseheads. Cons: Slightly cold mids. Not too great for vocals/instruments. Rather small soundstage.   Atomic Floyd are a relatively small British based company that not many people have heard of. They continue to sell...

My little sister's birthday was yesterday, and I wanted to get her something that had the potential to last her a little while. She loves her iPod, but I always see her with cheap JVC earbuds. For a couple years now, I have told her to get some decent earphones. Well, the big brother in me...

Hello Head-Fi! Long time lurker, first time poster here.   I'm looking to do a full upgrade on my audio system for my computer, coming from on-board audio (I used to use an external sound card but, upon getting new IEMs, I began to notice a hiss much worse than the one from the on-board...

Okay so I usually just lurk here but I decided to go ahead and make an account and ask. I don't have much experience in the headphone world but I do consider myself to be very picky about how my music sounds. I'm big on my home theater setup but I've just really never had a set of good IEM's...

I currently use an 80GB iPod 5G (video) converted to an iMod, and then through my LOD with BG caps into my iBasso D10. This all feeds my Sennheiser IE8s, all of which I have to admit are getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm contemplating a possible upgrade to my IEMs.   I love the clear...

Anyone here bought a functional ie8 cable from Sennheiser this year? I recently bought a pair directly from Sennheiser's website and the left channel doesn't work. I called them for another replacement and it has the same problem. Now you might think 2 new genuine cable means my left earphone is...

I've checked sennheisers website and they don't seem to sell them. I took the screens out of my IE8s due to one of them being clogged and not being able to clean it. I've tried other things as screens such as different types of fabrics but can't seem to find anything that sounds right. Does any...

Hello   I've had my Sennheiser IE8 for soon 4 years and they still hold up decently, however its now the third time I've broken the L-plug connecter (lose connection). I've considered moving on to something new. I listen to a very wide range of music, but a majority of it is electronic based...

Hi there,   Well, I was not sure should I post this in "computer audio", "portable sources" or "portable headphone amps" sections ... as this new breed of devices most certainly belongs to all categories. Maybe it's time for a new forum sub-section?!   Anyway, I was visiting my parents in...

I'm a UK buyer and I'm struggling to decide which cans to go for, I currently own a pair of Senn IE8's which I've had for around 5yrs, they're still going strong but I just fancy a new pair and these will be my first pair of cans.   I mostly listen to dance music and some hip hop/r'n'b so I...
