Hi guys, just got the Sennheiser IE8! Best I've ever listened to (coming from UM2). Listened to it for hours on my iPhone and the music was just so engrossing. I love these IEM.
But one thing I've noticed is that in my lunch hour I go to the park and catch up on news podcasts. I've been using the Sony EX700 as my "traveler" phones up to now. They are so forgiving with poor radio-like recordings where the harsh sharp treble is emphasized. The Sonys are the only phones (including the UM2's and IE8's) that I can listen to this kind of quality broadcast on.
If you are like me and use your iPhone for podcasts or listen to the radio with your headphones I think you'll find the Sonys a lot less fatiguing.
For Aussies and Kiwis: Did you know that you can order the Sennheiser IE8 for a lot less that our American and English friends? Free delivery too. One and only time it's better off living in Oz (as far as headphones go. Killed me buying my UM2's) . Sennheiser IE-8 In Ear Headphones :: Audio Junkie - Sennheiser, Etymotic, Ultimate Ears, Klipsch Headphones, Earphones & Headsets
Hey. Can anyone suggest some alternative tips (buds) for my IE8's as I'm finding the fit not as good as my UM2's. They don't feel as secure in my ears and the seal keeps getting broken.
Thanks in advance.
