Nov 15, 2021 at 8:50 PM Post #421 of 454
I purchased & received my IE800 Earbuds with Tesla Driver - from Earphone DIY Labs/Abbreviation = EDL IE800

(See Overall Review Below).
(This is a Honest Review. of what i like and don't like.

__________________

AE IE800: (Bought $45),
Specs:
Brand Name: microskill or Tongking,
Dynamic Hybrid,
Driver Diameter: 8mm,
(I found again from receipt)
Frequency Response Range: 10 - 35000Hz, (Or was it 40000

Vs
IE800 Earbuds with Tesla Driver - from Earphone DIY Labs. ($127)
Driver Diameter: 8mm,
Frequency response range: 5-46k KHZ
Brand Name: Telsa or Earphone DIY Labs.

1. Also did a burn in, on new EDL IE800


Used:
Spiral Dot++ (3rd gen) ear tips &
**** 8 Core pure silver mmcx cable 7n.

______________________________________________________________________________
Result From Aliexpress Ie800 98%

(I threw away stock ear-tips due they sound worse than Spiral Dot & comfort is average). & abandoned stock mmcx cable due to they sound worse than my ****.

Used:
1. Spiral Dot++ (3rd gen), ML - $37, not added tax yet)
Pros: Perfect Treble & feels like airy & very smooth, better clarity, more soundstage, the 3 dots inside makes the highs smoother. (Very Comfortable 9/10 & is best of all Ear-tips i tried before),
(REMEMBER THIS SIZE A LITTLE SMALLER THAN REGULAR EAR-TIPS, SO ORDER A SIZE LARGER, IF YOU BUY. FOR BEST FIT.)

Cons: Vs Spiral Dot 1st Generation - M Size, Bass not as good, little less punchy,

Difference: 1st Gen: less comfort for me 6.5/10, Perfect Mid Bass, (Choose this if you like sound quality & the comfort fits your ears),

2. AZLA SednaEarfitLight Short 2 Pairs (Size ML) - Price: $15, no tax added yet.
more bass, although clarity is more than Spiral Dot++, sometimes sound is bit harsh on highs, if you turn sound on max volume.
Comfortable 7.5-8/10
M size also fit me, but ML a tiny bit better for me.

(Spin Fit 360 - (Idk never tried before).
______________________________________________________________________________

ALL BELOW Comparision is with Spiral Dot++ (3rd gen), ML & **** 8 Core pure silver mmcx cable.
NOT STOCK CABLE or Ear-tips.

__________________

I noticed there was a cable that came inside with IE800 Earbuds with Tesla Driver - from Earphone DIY Labs.

Outer-shell: looks almost same, but bottom pin gold vs silver, & one from EDL is shorter tips = ear-tips goes more in ears. I don't like the tips finish looks like plastic.
Vs AliExpress one the tips looks like metal, its just nicer looking & looks like it last longer.



Silver Plated 6N OFC MMCX cable -
(1. Good sound quality. (Its sounds kinda like a balance cable vs my other cable.
(2. Is NOT JUNK STOCK Cable.
(3. I LIKE the 3.5 right angle jack.
(3. i don't really feel sharp sound.
(4. bass is ok+, but not perfect. (Bass Energy Score: 3-3.5
(i prefer **** 8 Core pure silver mmcx cable 7n due to Bass is Perfect on it, but sometimes sound is sharp in high volume = can be toned down a little by Spiral Dot++ (3rd Gen.)
(5. Cons: Prob only is can tangle if not careful.
(6. Overall i keep this cable as backup. Its NOT A BAD Cable.



Stock Ear-tips came with IE800 Earbuds with Tesla Driver - from Earphone DIY Labs.
Cons: it raise sharpness on IE800, with cable that came with it = it dulls sharpness it a little down.
(REPLACE IT WITH Spiral Dot++ (3rd gen), ML can tone down the sharpness & kinda make it just right sharpness.

Before Result If i had not bought from EDL: AE IE800 -
Clarity: good,
Bass: need little more,
Sound Stage: good,
Cons: Little bit dark. (if i use equalizer it could eliminate the dark, but bass still need),



Aliexpress IE800 VS/Comparison Result:
Clarity: a tiny bit less than below, sound bit more dull vs below, but not much.
Bass: deep bass vs below, & kinda depressed bass sometimes.
Sound Stage: good,
Cons: like mention above is if eliminate the dark deep bass i prob Ok with it.


EDL IE800 -
Clarity: more clear,
Bass: Perfect & i feel this bass sound it has ENERGY,
Sound Stage: good, deeper sounds.
Cons: More sharp crisp at high volume - Like mention on website: you may feel it is too bright in 1 second but then you will know it’s only because the high resolution can make details crystal clear – your ears are a little bit overloaded.
Maybe Cons: deeper sounds. (Idk about this myself if i prefer it or not.


Overall Review:
I Had a impulsive buy this. I just wanted one to try.
I tested hrs of listening. on iPad Mini 5.
Idk if its worth comparison to original Ie800,
Is it worth it to spend $45 from AliExpress Ie800 98% or from $127 from Earphone DIY Labs.
(1. if you on budget AliExpress one is fine, but find one that has higher Hz & better reviews. (There MANY VERSION of IE800 from AliExpress. Cheaper ones mostly 20000 Hz.
(2. go expensive if you if you want the maximum sound quality.
(3, Last of all: Recommend Spiral Dot++ (3rd gen) - if you want better toned bass & sound quality & etc or AZLA SednaEarfitLight Short 2 Pairs - if you want just original sound, & **** 8 Core pure silver mmcx cable 7n - if you want better bass.

Why in earth would you buy fakes? Those are just horrible. Absolutely horrible, just buy some IE300 and be done.
I bought a set of Fakes from Earphonediylabs.com. Not because I wanted a to fool anyone but because I like the extremely small form factor for cycling and gym. They're pretty sensational and much better than I was expecting. I haven't heard the the $45 Ali version but the EP DIY version is perfect for my use case. I would have no problem purchasing an IE900 but not for the use case I have for the 800 version.... $120 for iems, $100 for BT DAC = perfect for the gym That's why I bought them and I'm happy with them.

Both are fakes. The green/yellowish is too bright on cable. And these lines are not in real one. Its smooth all around the driver hole .

Real one doesn't have any tiny line(seam)at front. I'm not sure where did you see the genuine examples with these lines at front.
True, real ones are not done from 2 parts. Its the easy way, just a better fake copy's.

True, real ones are not done from 2 parts. Its the easy way, just a better fake copy's.
Of course plastic nozzle is not made of 2 parts. The injection mold made of 2 parts. And there are many molds used during the production cycle. Again, there are genuine exemplars with visible seams. Though this seams are not very pronounced.
