What do you guys amp/DAC it with? I'm intrigued by these now.
I've just applied liberally to the extension cable, and you know what, seems to have worked!!Is the stiffening of the cable caused by the wire or the insulation? If the latter, has anyone tried applying petroleum jelly to see if it will keep it supple? They recommend doing this with rubber gaskets to keep them from drying up and becoming brittle.

Will report back in a couple of days with an update.
What is petroleum jelly? Would you please share me a picture of it to give me an idea? Thank you
I've discovered on my daily dog walk that having the ie800 over ear reduces microphonics to shure se535 levels which is great. My concern now is that wearing them like this will reduce the life of the cable just like the shure se530 cable which eventually broke . Has anyone used these over ear for lengthy periods and has it caused any noticeable wear?

Re petroleum jelly (or, yes - Vaseline!) certainly isn't what I could call a night and day difference (and no practical way to A/B) but certainly, since applying, cable tangle appears to be less, which is a definite win
...When I put it in my ears, it muffled the treble, but boosted the bass!What about the sq? I would expect them to be more 'refined' now?!
