How about the UE4 Pro?

Personally I'm thinking as a result that I should go for a slightly cheaper option as I don't want to shell out £150 every year for a new pair. Or go with a company with a decent warranty |

Purchased a pair of IE8's a couple of days ago as I heard that they sounded quite similiar to the Triple Fi's, it's replaceable cable and also because I've read so many good things about them on this site. Straight out of the box, I didn't really appreciate the sound and thought that I might have made a mistake. I have read though that sound of these IEMs change quite dramatically over time while being burnt in so I'm prepared to give them some time. I have about 20 hrs on them now and they are sounding much better than 2 days ago. The main differences to me between the IE8s and Triple Fi at this point in time are - The IE8's treble is not as sparkling as the Triple Fi's. Sometimes it can be a little too much but at other times with the right music, it can put a smile on your face. The IE8's bass is more prominent though not overpowering as I thought it might be. Definitely better in quality than the CX 95's and not boomy. I use them with the tips that Mark2410 mentions in his Sig and I find the IE8's are far more comfortable than the Triple Fi. I can even wear them in bed and not have to worry about damaging my ears/iems . Through the Sony A 829's with a bit of EQ they sound ok to me but I do not like the way things sound out of the H120/Ibasso D10 combo. Right now I'm still prefering the sound of the Trips but I recall that it took me a while to prefer the sound of those to the HD25s. |
