Argh..bad news Exit, really sorry to hear, try contacting them to see if they actually admit the problem..

Ignoring all this T8iE can offer a very engaging and non-fatiguing sound.

It is, when the first unit mine got a few hours of run I finally feel that it truly exceeds IE800 in many ways. When it was broken and I went back to IE800, sure it's more forward and the treble sparkle is there but I really miss that bass response and non-fatiguing sound, also how it fits really perfect on my ear.

It was my choice to pare with AK 380, but due so many issues I gave up and I choose Dita Truth Edition

I can't fathom the price difference between Dita standard -> Truth (slight tuning and cable) -> Truth Balanced, it's just illogical and when I heard it at CanJam, even IE800 feels more special.

defective product.. even more faulty than hifiman re0 which looks fragile as paper.. it's a shame since its sound is very addictive..

Is there an executive summary of this thread?

 

[rumina]

Out of interest, does anybody else eq these iem? I like them very mutch but with JVC spiral dot or Comply TSX-200
they are to dominant around 150 hz for me, look at my eq settings for my ak240, goes down to -3db the up to +0.6db,
stays there at +0.6db to the top.
 

 
Would be nice to have some feedback on this, maybe give a try on these settings.
 
PS mine are serial 10203 and no problems with them since the first day and i don't
handel them with extra care.

I think the AK T8iE it's better, but the Dita it's very good and build like a tank. I can't have a in-ear with issues (I haven't a dealer here and it will be very anoying if i have problems with the AK T8iE.).

Yea I gotta hand it to them for thick cables, I still can't get into it even though it's a DD based IEM.

 

[soundblast75]

The cable is actuallyvery high quality kevlar reinforced. Don'tbe fouled by the thinness. Im loving it,it has no microphonics and tho it appears to be less well made than the thick Truth or ie800 its actually more comfy in day use.

i dont have a problem with thin nature of it, it is that the mmcx connectors are loss for my unit.

No one's been able to explain exactly the mmcx problem here. I hope it doesn't happen to me. In theory it should be as good as 846 which never had issues. This one is smaller and a bit refined and i think the connector gets a strain with certain holes

 

[vladzakhar]

More I am thinking about it, more I realize, it might be the stock cable fault. It's simply to heavy in the place of the connectors for tiny monitors. And this is effecting the connection. I never used the stock cable and went straight to Linum Bax which is much lighter. Still working fine.

 

[ysyung]

With my experience, it should be the design/hardware fault of the unit, not the stock cable.
