For the IE800 owners, could I check if the phones come packaged in the box with a sticker seal or label seal on it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
mine came with a clear circular sticker on either side

I've dug out today my old JVC FX500, which - back in the day were classed as 'bright', they sound positively dull compared to the IE800 (as do the FI-BA-SS that I have, but with nasty coloration too)...
... and the mids... yes, the mids - Hmm, they'll make you want to listen to all of your music all over again - it is just so precise
I'm expecting a big difference with the ex85, but my main expectation is to be able to have a close experience with my hd598s with the ie800s, or would I be setting expectations too high?
You are setting expectations too low.
The ie800 is much more enjoyable than the hd598 IMO.
But as Duncan mentioned, there is much more bass than hd598. The sound signatures are not similar.
Am I one of the few who really enjoys the IE800's bass? Because there is so little mid-bass, the IE800's sub-bass focus acts like a nice subwoofer. I actually don't even hear much bass at all when the music doesn't have much sub-bass encoded.
And then that midrange. I think I would marry it if it materialized in the form of a woman.
