Definately not weak bass - i get the best sound with the standard medium silicone tips. The bass is very powerful indeed and responsive to tuning. Only 20 or so hours on mine so far too.
One thing I was disappointed with is the design of the cable connector. It juts out at an angle which makes wearing these with a motorcycle helmet virtually impossible as they catch badly on the padding when putting the helmet on in over the ear wear and taking the helmet off with 'downward' wear. And whatever I do I can't stop them being prodded hard into my ears and misaligning. Admittedly this is a very specific and niche criticism, but I also have the IE6 and they stay put perfectly well and cause no problems wearing a helmet.
Looks like I'll have to keep both pairs. The IE8's are already substantially more impressive, however.
