    Looking to buy a new IEM (>$200)

    I have gone through two pairs of Sennheiser IE8's (As my dog has pulled them out of my ears while sleeping and chewed on them), and I don't really want to pay $200 for another pair of them, especially since their customer service is not very good. So I am looking to buy a new pair, which are...

    Are (High-end) Custom IEMs Overrated?

    EDIT (2nd June 2011): At the time I started this thread two years ago most customs were $850+. These days one can get customs that are a lot cheaper. How good are they? I've no idea. Most reports of the JH5, for instance, say they are very good. But, you still face a low re-sale value if you...

    Balanced Sennheiser IE8 through an RSA Protector

    Hi, I've searched for experience & impressions on running balanced IE8's with an RSA Protector & can't really find anything concrete. Has anyone tried this combo? It makes sense to me & will soon be a part of my portable arsenal- using a 160g Classic & an Algorhythm Solo as my source. It would...

    Headphones with a $300 budget

    I listen mainly to rock and rap.  What would be a good set of headphones with good noise isolation.  I'll be using it mainly with a cowon iaudio x7 and a HP ENVY 17 3d.  Should I get an amp for the headphones? Cheers

    Broken Senn IE 8s... repair myself or send in?

    My IE 8s were sounding a little weird and I was having trouble getting a good seal over the past few weeks. I finally figured out why when, upon pulling out the IEMs, the tip stayed in my left ear. As it turns out the "tube" had separated from the body of the IEM and lodged itself in my ear...

    Wearing Sennheiser IE8 Upside down = better isolation + fit!

    If you are having problems with the fit of the Ie8 then wear them Like normal phones with the wires pointing straight down. The seal is sooooo much better. They don't fall out and are very comfortable. Even isolation improves a bit too which is a good thing. I found this out today as the...

    IE8 vs Full size cans

    I've always been a IEM user but have considered getting a set of full size cans. Now the missus has offered to buy me some for my birthday :)   I love the sound signature of my IE8's, and my SE530's second. I like a warm, smooth, large soundstage, lots of bass.     What would I be...

    Need advice on Westone UM3x....how do they compare to UM1?

    Ok, so I know this is a bit of an odd question, because clearly the UM3x is a 350ish dollar pair of IEMS, while the UM1 is only 110 dollars and is not considered high-end by any means. The reason I ask is because I, until recently, was using UM1s and they are my only frame of reference for IEMs...

    Angry at ear pain! (deciding on new iems)

    Hello everybody,   I've owned the Sennheiser IE-8 for almost two years now and today I have accidentally damaged them trying to get a good fit and I've finally decided that maybe they just don't work for me.  Since my warranty will expire soon, after I get a replacement set I don't want to...

    Which open Headphones project the Soundstage in front of you

    i am looking for some open cans, that will be able to build a large soundstage. by that i mean it should not only expand to the sides, but also in depth. a little bit like crossfeed would do.   soundsignature is not that important. price could be up to 600$.   the best i heard in terms...

    HiFiman RE262 vs. Sennheiser IE8 anyone?

    As far has better IEMs, I own IE8s (as well as Shure 530s). The IE8 is pretty much a hands-down winner between the two. The IE8s are about 2.5 yrs old now so methinks newer designs may be better. I'm thinking about Earsonics SM3 v2 (have no experience with Earsonics, but they do seem to have...

    Which customs have the most out of the head soundstage (like ie8 or better)?

    hi,   i am looking for a custom iem, that has a soundstage experience like that of the ie8 or even better. after testing most of the high end universals, there is none, that has such a deep, wide and out of the head projection as the ie8. so i hope to find that in a custom with the clarity...

    Hey everyone, i just got my IE8 for few days, love the sound.... but last night i started notice the volume from the left seems like higher than right, this even happens when i am listening to the seal test file(the one only has two notes played repeatly), the music is focused on my left...

    Sennheiser IE7 oddity (fake box but real headphones?)

    I just bought a used pair of IE7 locally. I met the seller in person and tested them, and while they sounded nice (nice soundstage), I haven't had time to properly judge the audio and as such my initial impressions on the sound cannot fully justify whether or not these are real or fake. Which...

    IEM WITH GOOD BASS???!

    Hey guys,   I recently bought a pair of Shure SE315's and I'm finding them slightly uncomfortable, especially because I wear them all day at work and they tend to produce a considerable amount of pain after a few hours.   That, coupled with the fact that they dont produce the amount of...

    FINALLY I know where these fake Sennheiser IE8s are coming from.

    http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7960947370   It's selling for 128yuan. That converts to exactly $19.64USD as of today's currency.   It makes me puke in my mouth to think just how much profit those eBay sellers are making with it. If you go onto eBay now you can still see the no...
