The T500 is the T400 with a bit wider nozzle, which is what you IE8 owners are supposed to be using

That's sad, so many people broke it. They should put a warning label on IE8. I still have a few days to return mine, ...., should I, should I not...?

 

[weibby]

hmm not like any driver seen before.
looks like a mini speaker.

Try the somewhat longer double flange tips that come with other phones, or to be had on Amazon or eBay

lulz @ the reaction you must of had when you saw your 400$ headphone in two pieces.

 

[Young Spade]

Oh wow that sucks man, sorry about that :/
Nice pictures though; and yea they don't look too expensive do they? Haha

 

[Trysaeder]

Wow, and here I am thinking these IE8s are unbreakable.

 

[ben4345]

Hmm. the IE8's don't look like much for $400.
Kinda reminds me of the time were I took a $3000 Bose system apart, only to find cheap $5 speakers and lots of cheap plastic.

Not that the IE8's are that bad, just reminds me of it.

Thresher,

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures.

They've got pretty much the best cable I've found on an IEM yet, and I've been sleeping with the IE8 in my ears for months now without any problems, or even the slightest signs of any deterioration. My SE530 and others died an early death from that treatment. I don't see how the IE8 'deserve' to be compared to Bose stuff. Then again, I didn't try any tips that require a lot of force to be taken off the nozzle.

Wasn't comparing, just reminded me of that.
Bose is more comparable to skullcandys of beat's in my opinion.

Hi!

the driver looks exactly like when I was disassembling my CX-300 (broken cable) or one of the photos of CX-300 driver, for example, google fake sennheiser cx-300, there are both genuine and fake cx300 images, the real one looking exactly like this IE8 driver to me, strange...

...considering that Sennheiser said it's not foster driver, but their own hi-end product, as I read here on Headfi

In my experience there's not a lot of difference between the looks of various dynamic IEM drivers (or armatures for that matter). I've cracked some Mylarones and some V-Modas open, and they look pretty much the same as the IE8 driver.

 

[tsn141]

are there any one who has broken ie8 for sale
i did not see in FS forum
