Purchased a pair of cheap (250 €) IE800 from eBay.
Externally are perfect, exactly as shown in photos here on head fi forums and as advertised on the Internet.
Unfortunately, when listened through my Hugo, there were big surprises: piercing highs, extra-wide soundstage (with hole in the middle) and most importantly, imbalance over 3 dB between the two drivers!
They will be sent back to the seller for a full refund.
You were all right for the "genuiness" of cheap IE800 IEMs on eBay....
Now I'm getting paranoid, since I also got them cheap and off ebay. Can I maybe search the serial number or something?
