Recently my beloved TF10 Pro vi got damaged for no apparent reason - the left earpiece stopped working after only 3 months of ownership and with good care for them. I'm pretty certain this was an issue with the cable. However I took them to my vendor and they gave me a refund - there was nothing else that took my fancy at the shop...
I had no real complaints about the TF10, but I was always curious about the IE8. I wondered what the real flaws in them were. I've read the majority of threads on the IE8 - including the appreciation thread, but I'd like an honest run down of their main flaws to help me understand if they are a worthy investment...
From what I've read the following seem to be the key ones:
1. lack of treble energy (but not necessarily treble response)
2. over prominence of bass - particularly mid bass...
3. unusally large sound / head stage (this may be a pro or a con for some ppl)
4. lack of isolation (this is somewhat of an issue for me)
look forward to your comments
