My rundown of the IE 80 S, for anyone interested: https://www.thesynops.com/sennheiser-ie-80-s-ear-headphones-synopsis/

If anyone wants to sell me their ie80S case PM me please

How comfortable are them? I like to fall asleep listening to music. How do they match with the pillow? Too bulky? Sorry about the weird question.

 

[NuBee]

Errr...they’re comfortable all right, I think you can sleep with them on, depends on how deep you screw them in or how big your ears are

Does anyone know where to get the TRRS balanced cable (2.5mm) for this Sennheiser IE80S? Are the cables for IE80 interchangeable with IE80S?

Thanks!

I`ve bought this cable twice and it works fine with both IE80 and IE80s, but I dont know much about balanced cable

I used to sleep wearing the original IE8 most nights, it was comfortable enough for me. It would all depend on the shape and size of your ears.

Thank you for your insight. That cable is single-ended so it will not support balanced output. Nevertheless you did clarify the fact that the cables for IE80 and IE80S are interchangeable.

My IE80s is pretty source picky.

I owned the original IE80 and I was pretty happy with it, before I blew it up with my Chord Mojo which by accident I put into line out mode !! but that is another sorry.
I used my old IE80 with the manual bass setting to minimum and I was happy. Good bass was there, mids sounded good and highs were present. It sounded good with the mojo and my iPhone 6 Plus.
I was using Silver Poison OCC Cryo Silver from Toxic Cables.

Now I have IE80s and I would say that I have used them from 60-100 hours.
DAC/Amp: iPhone 6 Plus and Chord Mojo.

iPhone 6 Plus: The bass is a little overwhelming on minimum settings, maybe a little bit muddy. Mids are slightly boomy and highs are lower then I would like.

Chord Mojo. A little less bass but its cleaner. Mids are not as boomy and the highs shine through a little bit more. The soundstage is wide then with the iPhone.


Are these results I can expect, should the IE80s not sound fine straight out of the iPhone?

This small issue is actually a little frustrating for me because the connection between the mojo and the iPhone is pretty unreliable.
The music sometimes stops and I think its because of connection issues between the mojo and the iPhone (CCK + micro usb adapters)

I agree. IE80s a fun earphone, not a resolving IEM, and in most cases it doesn't have to

For those who has both ie80s and ie8x, are the cables interchangeable?

I was in process of buying a replacement cable for ie80, but i do like the colour codedness of the ie80s cable.

Thanks

 

[nort ycagel]

so... are those ie80s good?
anyone that tried both them and rha t20?

Yes, the IE 80 S replacement cables will connect to the IE 80. They use the same connector.
