Ivabign, I swear if you turn around now and say you prefer your V6S to your V8 I might cry.A lot.

Start the river of tears, my friend. T_T
I've secretly heard that Ivabign secretly listens to his V6S more than his V8 :evil:
V3 is a nice entry-level CIEM which is similar in sound signature to V6 Stage. So if you really groove on V3, you know what your upgrade path will be. If you want something with more bass and smoother upper end, V8 is a logical upgrade. But that's the future, for now enjoy your V3. They're great, and you have every reason to be very excited!

I just auditioned them, and I prefer the v6s to the v8. A lot. But the v8 is not too bassy- it's too warm. If you like em3/em6 type of sound, you'll enjoy the v8.

There have been quite a few people that might argue with that - being too warm suggests a lack of clarity and detail, right? I know Ivabign for one said it's still there, it's just not as forward - maybe that's what you're hearing?
It looks that way
Maybe he prefers a warm phone?
Well different strokes for different folks.
I don't mind a bit of warmth, as long as it isn't just completely missing all traces of detail and highs. If that's what you're telling me, I'd better contact 1964 and ask for a 'downgrade'
Mind you, there a lot of U8 backers here who might also expect a bit of detail from it, so you might wanna let them know as well haha! It's so hard to quantify what you guys all mean though. For example, I'd consider the IE8 on the warm side, a lot of bass with quite a lot of bleed. However, I think it would be unfair to say it lacks detail or clarity, because it's quite Vshaped in its sound - it's just the mids that are recessed IMO...

Just went to test out the V8 and V6S at my local store and they sound superb. I can't wait for May 2015 to come!!! I love the V8 the most!! Much warmer and a more intimate soundstage as compared to the V6S!

Hngh....
I think I've decided to not go for the V3's after all.
I know the kind of person I am, I will only end up wanting something else, something "better" and as such will just end up with a spare pair of CIEM's gathering dust.
As such, the V8's will be ordered. I seem to like a warm sound signature and it seems that the V8 will provide that sound while still maintaining a low impedance so that I can drive them well from my iPhone (most of my listening).
Am I crazy?
