I'm picking up quite a bit of sibilance from these. Cymbals and other instruments aren't too much of an issue, but female vocals on the other hand, at times sound painful to listen to...
Anyone else experience this?
Not at all, but then I broke my set in the way a top audio engineer recommended with dynamic drivers. Very, very loud (so loud you can't hold the earphones 1in away from your ears comfortably) music, played on a varied playlist overnight. See if that helps settle things a bit. I do think the ie800 has a little lift in the vocal range, so it will authentically replicate the harsh sound on poorly mastered tracks.
