I think the C710 has great clarity and detail. The bass is powerful and deep, yet controlled. There is a lot of treble energy.
When I have been listening to these (I have been listening even though I am burning them in), going from the IE8 to the C710 I don't like the C710's presentation, as it sounds hollow and bright. But after I adjust to the sound sig it does sound very good for $100, better than the $125 PFE IMO and better than the Turbines even though the sound sig is much different.
However, going from theC710 to the IE8 I don't feel the same way I do switching the other way. And tonight the soundstage width is similar, but the IE8 is winning out. The C710 sounds about 3-5 rows behind the IE8 in the concert hall. I am using a different source though, the AMP3 as a DAP vs. the Fuze ->LOD -> AMP3.

Its nice connecting with those songs that hit you with goosebumps/make your toes tap... |
