Were you referring to the bass knob 'dialled down'?
I like bass, but if its going to be drowning out the rest of the frequencies dramatically, then i'd rather something neutral. There are comments the IE8's bass tones down and the mids/high/soundstage start appearing once burnt in enough. Again im not an advocate for burning in headphones, but i dont mind the SQ signature on Sennheisers. Im sure i'll like them. I disliked my bro's CX300II's, but these are obviously a league of their own.
Are the IE8's that bad in isolation though?
