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...

Sennheisher has announced the IE 8 with iPhone controls, called the IE 8i.   http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headsets_stereo-mobile-phone_504173     This is in addition to several other models now with iPhone controls...

my hippo vb's just officially died. No more sound from the left side. Im looking to buy new headphones to replace em and i have narrowed it down to hje900 or ie8. I mainly listen to hip hop ; A tribe called quest, kanye west, jay-z, immortal technique etc. but at the same time i listen to...

Hey there,   Been searching all over for this accessory for Sennheiser IE8, it's killing me every time I wanna switch a track or pick up a phone call with my iPhone 4 I have to take it out of my pocket. Any clue where I can pick up the cable?   Thanks    

I found IE8i at Ebay in a great price, from a store in the US but I am not shure whether the the headphones are real or fake. Can someone tell?  ...

Hi I'm looking for a pretty good pair of IEM with a mic and a replaceable cable since the cold weather always makes the cables on my phones crack or break. I'm not sure if this type of headphones exist but it'd be amazing for me however just a very tough/rugged/bulletproof IEMs will do...

The housing on one of the buds on my Monster Pro Turbine Golds came apart while untangling them last night, so now I'm seeking a replacement. I'm looking for a good all around head phone that can provide good bass on occasion.  I get a pretty good deal on the  IE-8i's and the  Monster Pro Miles...

Hey guys, so I'm thinking about replacing my earbuds but I'm not so sure which I should get. I'm deciding between the Shure SE series (probably se425 or se535) and Sennheiser ie8. My friend says that I should get the ie8s because of its base-heavy tendencies (I mostly listen to soundtracks and...

Guys i plan to pay Jaben Singapore a visit, but before that i would like to have some ideas what are the earphones suitable for my choice.   I can go up til Senheiser IE8 equivalents, but i know IE8 is more towards bass head.   I'm looking for earphones that are:   1.Comfortable...

  Hoping for a bit of help/advice with this.  My IEM journey has been around 6 years and taken in many brands, been fun at times listening to different signature sounds.  For the last few months been enjoying the Westone UM3x and thought maybe that was the end of the road for me.  However we...

I would like some recommendations on good IEM's for under $200. My previous IEM's were the Monster Turbines and I liked the sound they produced but sadly they broke. So now I'm looking for IEM's that sound similar to the Turbines or even better. I mainly listen to Dubstep, Drum n Bass, Rock and...

I just called Sennheiser UK service centre to ask if the ie 8i cable would work the ie 8 and the answer was no because the wiring is different. I'm a little confused with their explanation as it looks like a simple cable swap and that the same earpiece/drivers are used for both models with the...

It seems to me that there is very little cross-interest from portable headphone users with those who are interested in IEMs.  Is there any particular reason we're forcing people to wade through so much noise to find what they're looking for?   I'm sure that someone who is looking to upgrade...

Which for my next IEM?   Please do not respond with what you have read. Respond only if you have personal experience with any of these phones. I have read many of the reviews, and have a feel for each of them, but now am looking for actual users' input/comparisons/etc.   Background: Not...

Hi all,   I've had a great run using Shure stuff in the last while. I've had seven iPhone microphone adapters (the MPA-2B), and two SE-530s. I love them to bits...   ...when they work. I bought one each of the above, the rest have been warranty replacements. Eventually I gave up on the...

Hi!   I just replaced a broken Sennheiser IE8 with a Sennheiser IE8i (the one with mic) that I bought on Ebay. After comparing the two I realized that the cable has a different colour (the IE8 has a more greyish cable while IE8i version is dark black) and also that the  cable of the IE8i is...

Hello,   I spent about 9 hours searching and reading now and I don't know why, but with every hour I feel more confused about my buying decision. This forum seems like really offering the most informations and really worth staying.   I'm planning to buy a replacement for my 2,5 year...

You can't use more than one set at a time so how do you do it? On a weekly rotation? Based on the music genre? For me it's rather arbitrary.

So I have a PL30 and although it has far less detail and power as my W3, it seem to always do one thing better that is timbre. It sounds more realistic to my ears. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that it is dynamics and not BAs. So I'm looking for the best dynamics out there. I tried the...

So I got a hold of some ie8i's for $295 (direct from manufacturer) and I'm wondering what's the best way to burn the headphones in. Oh and how long of a burn in period does the headphones need?

Hi, Unfortunately, I managed to leave my bag on a train, taking my beloved IE7s with it. Now, I loved those earphones, but occasionally found the highs to be fatiguing and/or harsh. Has anyone else found this? If so, is there an IEM that can offer absolutely everything the IE7 offers (being...

hi all, 1st post and what a great site for your wallet, let me begin, found this site while looking to see if my 1st pair of IE8's where fakes (and they were), anyways ordered a pair from Razordog deals (got the IE8i's) which arrived today, as good as the fakes sounded i can hear the differance...

With my HOD Teclast T-51 DAP came a "free" IEM (model R8): http://www.houseofdap.com/teclast-t51-hi-fi-quality-3-5-inch-mp4-player-8gb.html   They come with an extra set of (white) silicone (??) flange tips that I found to be (overall) the BEST tip I've used for my IE-8. I've used several...

Finallly, i've saved my euros and cents to get myself a new set of IEM's... I have roughyl 200Euro to spend. I've heard so many great things about the IE8s, now before i go spending all my money is there anything at this level that is better for the same price? Perhaps less? Music seems to...
