Yeah I did some research and called Ken Ball, I was thought the iMod was just a program or something. I was completly wrong

, I am going to try Rockbox on my iPod and go from there. ALO sells a cable now for the iPhone/iPod so I might just try getting an amp if I am not satisfied and then do the iMod or buy a new PMP if I absolutely have to.

Once I Rockbox my iPod can I go back to the OF? I'm assuming so but just want to be sure.

For those who like the IE8, there's some MX 980 user who claimed that MX 980 is better than IE8

I'm not that interested in IEMs, but I do interested in reviews and opinions

what struck me is, that whilst MX 980 is considered better than IE8 for some people who claim to have both (and cheaper too!), how about it's IEM brother? The CX 980?

Since it might not do justice to compare IEM with earbud (which once again...in this rare case, earbud is the winner according to some opinions), I would find it interesting to see a comparison of IE8 and CX980 from the IEMs lovers

Well today my IE8 gets here. And I am excited. But sadly all my Ipods are gone... Repair takes a longer time than expected. And out of my pc it's just like trying to force sound trough a pipe filled with crap.

Now, I just need to get them to be able to sound this way on the go. Seriously, I love them on my computer, they are unreal, but on my iPhone they are just good but not incredible. So should I get a new PMP or an amp? I also have a 160G iPod (newest generation I think) but mainly use my iPhone, will switch and get the iMod if I have to. My biggest problem is that all of Apples PMP's have restricted EQ settings. Are there amps capable of changing up to ten frequency levels or am I going to have to upgrade to a better PMP (or iMod). Thanks in advance for the help.

A new pmp is the way to go! After my EQ for the Cowon S9, the IE8 is perfect and handles anything and everything with seemingly no flaws! Click the link for my EQ iAudiophile.net Forums - View Single Post - JetEffect 3.0, BBE+ Settings

Honestly, can't tell you enough how much I LOVE my IE8 now whereas without EQ it was more a case of 'hmm the IE8 weren't all that I expected...' there's the factor that not every IE8 is tuned exactly the same and we hear differently etc. but the EQ I made is perfect for me (I'm a sound engineer in training btw).

Well I've had mine for just under 2 weeks now, at the beginning I couldn't recognize a difference between my IE8's and CX 300 Mark II's however now, after lots of listening (no purpose burn-in, just listening to lots of music on the bus and such) I can hear the sound as slightly changed to a warmer sound and the bass has improved.

I decided to listen to my CX 300's the other day and there's loads of sibilance and not as much depth in the sound. As well as that, I can recognize the IE8's soundstage and the sound is pretty impressive and this is about after an accumulated time of 20 hours listening so it can only get better.

Okay if it is a fake then I'm really worried. I will so aim to pick them up elsewhere.

I could buy two for that price..... Two 4 bedroom detached houses that is and still have change left over for an Aston Martin DB7 and Audi R8 Spyder!

Or it would buy you approx 5,714 Senn Ie8's!

The choice is yours... lol

I've actually heard rumors that that cable has the ability to cure any AIDS.

(For the price, I sure hope it does)

To my ears, the Westone 3 highs are more prominent and more extended. I use the long Comply tips with the Westone 3s and the Comply T400s for the IE8s.
