You still have an order pending with advancedmp3, correct? I cancelled mine there, and then put one in with NCIXUS.

Yes me too, I was quite surprised to immediately find a good fit with IE8, after I read so many fit's problems and complaining about the tips in the box here on the forum I expected to find some problems about it, fortunately I didn't!

Got them this morning at 9am. All I can say is:

Ncix - wow
Sennheiser - wow

Sen has me as a customer again.

Don't run so much, listen it for some days!

Nope. According to them, it's like I never ordered them.

What a ridiculously frustrating experience.

End up getting mine from minidisc.au instead of NCIX US. Paying USD315 in total including postage and handling ><

Man, sorry to hear that. Try them from a different seller though. They're worth the effort. And I look forward to hearing your impressions after all the time you've been wanting to get them!

Price is up to 279.99 at NCIXUS now

Tried to order them and had the same Chase CC problem as heaphoneaddict. I know I'm not paying 450.00 dollars from amazon. At 300.00 I can get the westone 3, 224.00 was a sweet deal. Maybe just not in the cards....

I am looking for a hard case for my IE8. current they are in a soft case. But I think you reserve more protection. Any good suggestions?

It would nice that the IEMs would knock around.

thanks

Hard box? Is the Senn box too big for you?

 

[walkingman]

The Sennheiser IE case is rubbish.

Well. something like shure hard pouch. but maybe less inner space so
no IEMs knocking around. Senns' box is over engineered as some have stated.
It almost unusable for everyday usage.

I just stuff them in my pocket. Anyone else think that little secret compartment at the bottom of the box is a bit too.... weird. I was expecting some kind of huge secret but it only contains a little bag of silica and some disc shaped things (are these filter?).

I mean whats the purpose of that little compartment

 

[CRS27]

I know but out of the box these things are amazing. I'm very glad I went with these over the TF's

 

[walkingman]

The compartment is for keeping desiccant. It is actually the only thing about the case I like. It is meant to keep the case (and your IE) all dry.

The IE 8 is so light I never worry about accidentally damaging it. I do keep them in a soft case though.

One thing I worry is I crushing or shocking them. Although I put them in soft case and travel in my backpack with care.
