Within the next cupple weeks ill be shelling out a cupple pretty pennies for 3 sets of customs from custom-iem   I plan on upgrading my Sennheiser IE8 to the x3 driver upgrade (Dynamic Low and BA mid, BA High)   Upgrading and reshelling my shure SE535 CLs to the x8 Driver upgrade (2BA...

Has anyone had the privilege of comparing these two yet? I am looking for an upgrade from my SE215 and essentially I want better clarity and moar bass  I'm looking for something that isn't warm or dark. My nicest phones are the Phiaton MS400, and while I love and enjoy them, they just seem dull...

Looking to spend $4-500 on some IEMs for Progressive House and other electronic music. Also maybe some rock, but focusing on the Electronic stuff. Want a good amount of bass, but of course quality > quanitity! I'm looking into IE8 and others but I don't know what to buy, I'm a newb. I'll be...

So I tried my westone 4s for the first time today, I really expected the box to be a little bigger. Oh well.   Anyway I have been using the Sennheiser IE8 lately a lot, and the monster turbine pro copper. The Coppers really showed me the power of the IE8, it makes the coppers almost seem to...

Hello Head-Fi,   Today I started listening to my Sennheiser IE8s and I noticed that the right channel sounded much too quiet. After checking to make sure that they were properly inserted into my ears, I realized that the right channel seems to have lost almost all its volume, although there...

Hello guys,   I'm totally stumped on which phone to pick.   I will be using these to and from University and at home. Has anyone owned both? If so, which is better sounding? Are cans much more of a hassle to carry around than IEMs?    I like to listen to HipHop/R&B, with a bit of...

Well I was looking for good circumaurals with active noise cancellation but reading through these forums made me decide to go with IEMs since they provide equal or superior noise isolation but much better sound quality. I have narrowed down to the above 3 choices and trying to pick one out...

Right now, I've saved up just enough for the GR07, 160 bucks from Hong Kong.    Apparently, they sound better than the IE8 and TF10 technically, the IE8 apparently has more soundstage and bass, and the TF10 apparently is more fun.   I'm currently using the Hippo VB and Cowon J3, there is...

Firstly, I apologize for being another thread amongst a sea of "help me choose" threads - but I am pretty much a rookie. After a few months, several actually, of wading through, trying to save for the jh16's/J3A - and failing miserably at it, I've decided to go with a much more affordable (in...

Referred to many stickies and threads in the forum and still really have no idea on what to buy to be honest. If anyone can offer me their help it'd be greatly appreciated. Here's a rundown of what I'm looking for...   - A sub £150 IEM - A focus on overall treble/mids quality but not...

I lost my Shure 535 which is very sad.  So, I though I might try look at some other high end earphones.   I liked the mids of the Shures, but thought they lacked a little in the base.   Can people let me know what other earphones I should consider.   I was thinking the IE8, but i know there...

Hi Head-fi   Thought that I would give it a try a ask for advice on this website since I know that there are some people her who knows there *** Anyways, I am looking for a comfortable IEM and that is a big factor. Also build quality should be decent, but not my turning point since i am...

Anyone up for this?    "Sennheiser IE8 dynamic driver + 2 balanced armatures. 1 dynamic low (original driver from IE8), 1 BA mid, 1BA high"   http://www.custom-iem.com/sennheiser-ie8-reshell-upgrade-to-3-drivers-p-662.html?zenid=a2080785b2efd6f3225231d6828ce479

Do not like iems that are deep into my Ear canal.  My ears seem to get irritated.  Oh yea they need to sound great too and must be easy to drive sans amp.     Thanks

Thats what I have narrowed it down to. I like it on the bass heavy side but with good trebel detail too, I don't like a lot of roll of on either end.

All of the IEM's that you like which you prefer in 1 frequency, build quality, trait, etc...   For example...   Etymotic ER4S's treble Westone UM3X's midrange Sennheiser IE8's bass    

Looking for an IEM that has a similar sound signature to the IE8 but for a better price.   I want punchy deep bass, strong emphasis on the midrange like percussion and vocals, and a smooth yet detailed high end with no fatiguing sibilance to be known of. Absolutely no harshness at all...

Hi all,           I've been doing alot of reading up on different IEMs as I like to pick a decent pair. However, I'm a bit lost with all of the different possiblities, reviews, individual feedback and find it hard to see a clear winner because alot of the feedback is obviously subjective to...

Here are all of my iems and amps. Just got the Alo rx mk2 today .      IEMs: MTPC , MDT , Monster Miles Davis Trumpet, Westone 3, westone 4, Um3xrc , IE8, shure se535, se530, Tf10pro   Amps: 2Stepdance, Govibe sharps, RSA P51 , RS71A , Ibasso D12, Alo Rx mk2 , C&C xo2.    Sources...

    Quote:   This is VERY interesting.  Compared to a Burson-160D.   I wonder what you guys think!   Source      

SO i have read that dakmart.com is a shady dealer even though they are authorized on sennheisers website  Has anyone got the IE8's from there and if so were they real or fake???    

Are these fake?   Price seems too good to be true... but the return policy is quite good.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sennheiser-IE8-In-Ear-Headphones/180725223066?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=008&category=112529&cmd=ViewItem#ht_5064wt_1396

  I had a little bit of inspiration reading the IE8 appreciation thread...   Quote:   Quote:   ...so I decided to shove a pair of standard Comply's from RadioShack inside my large Shure Olives and holy hell, they fit perfectly, no changes needed; just push the Comply...

Well I'm just wondering, I've been offered a pretty good deal for the IE8s (about $240) and I'm wondering if they're fake because, as always, its an online vendor!   He sent me some images, so I was just wondering if you guys could give me your thoughts on these:      

  First, I need to say that I got offered the chance to review these IEMs from another Head-fi member on behalf of a seller. That said, I don’t believe in saying nice things just because I didn’t buy these myself, and this review is how I genuinely feel these IEMs perform.   For...
