Hello Head-Fi!
So about 2 1/2 years ago I bought my first high-end IEM, the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro. A year prior to this purchase, I had gotten a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros. I enjoy the clarity of the Triple.fi's detail in the treble range, however the bass detail and soundstage I feel could be better. The midrange was detailed but slightly recessed so it seems to get lost whenever I listen to music with them.
Now, I'm about to jump the gun and purchase a pair of Sennheiser IE 8s from Amazon, but would like to know if people could try to describe to me in as best as possible a way the differences I would most likely notice. The sound signature looks to be quite different, however I have heard that it has a "fun" or "bassy" sound signature which would be something I would much like. I do not mind if the music is colored by them since my Triple.fis are quite good at being neutral sound-wise. If anything, I would hope that these IE 8s sound more "natural" and make songs come alive.
