Anyone know what does it mean here? http://en-us.sennheiser.com/earphones-high-end-hifi-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-80 Does it really do something or it's just like normal burn-in/break-in?

Hi All,   Bought these from eBay from a trusted seller starting bid was £174.99 he was open to questions, as you would I asked to most important question (legit or fakes) and I was expecting a yes!! he seemed very honest from his reply's...but not everyone is who they say they are especially...

Hello just bought a pair of Sennheiser IE80s of eBay registered them the serial number check out fine everything looks legit BUT mind is still not at rest, can serial numbers be fake as well?

Hey guys found this on ebay and the pics looks real..can any pro authenticate it since price seems too good   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281097129826?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

I am ready to buy one of these 3 IEM. But i am having trouble deciding, hopefully one of you audiophile can help me. I have narrow down to these 3 IEM, Heir 4.ai or Weston W4  or ie80   I listen to trance and alternative and adele    I have found ie80 to be the cheapest, Second is...

Good evening, everyone. I've spent these past two weeks trying to get my hands on a pair of authentic Sennheiser IE80s. I thought I finally succeeded when I found a pair on Amazon being sold for $300 USD by a seller known as Radio-Mart. As a note, the seller is located within the United States...

So.. as the title says, I got in my car this morning and realised too late that my ie80s had fallen out of my pocket. Now I have a cable and some pieces of headphone. I nearly cried :(   Im now looking to buy another pair however I though before I do maybe a little research was in order. I...

Hi guys I been lurking these forums on and off. I have the miles Davis trumpets for like two years now. I was wondering if the IE80 is a big upgrade from trumpets. It will be paired with a galaxy note 3 running off Fiio e18 when it arrives in the mail. Audio source will just be 320kbs files...

I'm considering either the Sunrise CIEM cables ( from BTG audio) or Galaxy silver ( Zero shoe) to pair with my IE80s.   I've also looked at Silver Toxic cables and the price range is very far from the 2 cables I've mentioned.   Should i select either of the cheaper cables before getting...

After having my IE 8 for over two years, they finally cracked and broke. Now with the IE 80 being out the IE 8 are discontinued. If I send them in for repair, will they send me the IE 80 back? I heard someone sent theirs for repair and they sent back a brand new IE 80.

I`ve been choosing the best IEM for Rock, Jazz and Blues, mostly for Rock under 300$ for two months. I can buy all of these IEM almost for  the same priсe now.  Gonna use it with Cowon J3 without any amps.    I just cant decide between those. All of them have pros and cons   GR07 has...

Hey guys,   This is my first time posting but I've been reading this forum for a while. The past few years I've only used "lower-end" IEMs -- first Shure e2c's, then Klipsch image s4's, and now currently using Zagg buds. I really love listening to music and my Zagg buds are starting to go...

I've been snooping around here reading the forums for a while, doing research, but in the end I decided to start my own thread (even though the subject matter has been beat to death, sorry guys.)   I'm looking for a pair of nice IEM, preferable somewhere around $300.  Although I am a...

Hello all so i'm planning to buy some iems that can be driven unamped from my Sony Walkman Z Price range: under 450$ I mostly listen to rock , alternative, classical, soul , indie and sometimes country and pop. I don't listen that much electronic , techno , trance, dubstep or metal. I...

Hello,   I have been using rather cheap earphones for a long time ($20 - $50 range) and am getting rather tired of the "okay" sound. I enjoy good music (good being personal taste, but the point is I thoroughly enjoy music) and I listen to it in a variety of situations. I'm no fan of...

I have decided that due to my permanent chronic pain and neck problems, I am going to either use IEMs from now on (as there is no additional weight on the cervical spine), try the Stax portable unit (feather light) or go to speakers (in that order of preference). I would prefer not to go to...

Hi All,   This is my first post, so please be gentle...lol   Anyway, I'm currently looking for an IEM similar in presentation to my AKG K550 over ear cans. I did just pick up some Sennheiser IE 80, unheard, but they are not at all what I'm looking for. What I'm after is a nice clear mid...

Hi guys, This is actually my first post here, and, as you can guess, I'm quite new to the audio world The thing is I'm looking for a nice portable headphone that will be used mostly on buses on my way to school. I listen mostly to Classical, but to jazz and rock too. The headphones MUST be...

Hi Everybody,   A few months ago I broke my Hf5's for the third time and the warranty was over. I really liked the sound but I'm not willing to buy another pair because they keep breaking despite my best efforts to treat them nicely.   To replace them temporarily, I bought a pair of...

Hello head-fi. I'm on vacation in New York this week, and in the States until January, and my goodness is it cold. As the title suggests, I'm using my portable sets while out and about, and I wanted to hear from people who have visited or live in cold countries (cold enough for snow, etc.); is...

I've read here that a lot of more expensive IEMs have worse build quality than cheaper IEMs. I got my first taste of that with the TDK IE800s, which are built far worse than my Sony MH1Cs even though they cost 5 times more.    I understand that you're supposed to take care of nice IEMs, but...

Never had portable media before. I repair pc hardware all day. I destroy shirts frequently by gettign them stuck in the fans. So I would like to keep the headset below $50 for now just incase I have to replace them, I am a major bass head and the environment around me is that of a typical...

First off the only 'real' pair of headphones I have are PX200 ii's. Bought these last year for the portability of them, however I found that I couldn't use them on a plane or bus because of the poor isolation. I cannot decide between the hd 25s or m80's as an upgrade! From what I have read on...

what are some earbuds / earphones with a large sound stage with good sound  of course

Hi,   I've been reading a lot of reviews (including the big comparing thread by joker) and now I am excited about buying a better (or atleast different) IEM. I could be described as a Basshead, but I dont really know what it means. What I can is that almost all the music I listen to is...
