I already have one pair, but at such a cheap price I couldn't hold back!
How do jvc hx850 compare to ie800?
How do jvc hx850 compare to ie800?
I did ask this question earlier, but no suggestions. Maybe people does not have both ie800 and JVC stuff.
I just got these yesterday, from NCIX.
Been listening to them for the last couple of hours.
Also purchased the Fidelio X1 from Amazon lightning deal. So decided to listen to the last song I was listening to with IE800 and compare to Fidelio X1. They are not the same type of headphones etc, yes no doubt. But... When I put on the X1s I was like What, these sound like trash. Sad indeed, $180, very highly rated headphones. And my immediate reaction is as if they sound like cheap earbuds that you can buy for $5. And I truly have been enjoying the X1s.
All I can say about IE800 is that I found the peak of headphones that you can run directly from your phone or portable player, ideal for use at office or when you don't want to lug a portable amp with you. This is it. The top that I can get, the best, the peak. Never tried the Shure SE846, but until then I am done with any more headphone purchases. Done. It ends here.
What an amazing sound these tiny little things can produce, and can make a $200 headphone sound like crap. Heck now I am seriously afraid of listening to any other headphone that I have in my stable, everything will be mediocre. The soundstage on these IE800s is simply amazing, perfect, can not get any better for this price. I paid a great price on special sale. All spectrum of the sound, everything is so harmonic, it is in so much of a balance and perfectly presented that there is no way I can imagine anything better for this price and portability.
I am listening to Rammstein Reise Reise album, FLAC, right now Amerika is playing, and I can literally feel every instrument, hear everything in such clarity that with other headphones I have in my stable it was not the same. And it will never be the same. The vocals are literally in your face, the guitars are pounding in the background, the drum is harmonically taking its part, the keyboards, heck I can even hear that growl in Till's throat when he says Afrika - just at the "k".
This is an earphone that can only be experienced and lived. The description can never ever do any justice. When I got my Westone3 last year I thought I was having an eargasm, with IE800s it is something of a revelation, nothing will be the same again!

Agreed on all points, if you look back through this thread, my IE800s even made me question the validity of cans like the LCD2 (hence they are for sale)...I just got these yesterday, from NCIX.
