Sennheiser IE800 IEM's

[Dobrescu George]

hello tell me one that is better and cheaper and i will buy it, i don't mean better vocal but worse bass , better highs but worse vocals , one that is overall better

better and cheaper than ie800? 

 
We keep telling everyone, there is no better in this world. Only different tastes and different sounds. 
 
Want something really cool? Check other IEMs! Want something really cool? Check Ie800! 
 
Ie800 has a really unique sound that nothing else really has. Because of it's technology and design. Now, there are many other really good IEMs on the market, Fiio EX1, Echobox IEMs, Sennheiser ie8 (?), momentum in ears, a LOT. None has the exact same sound for cheaper or is better for cheaper. Nor for more money. Ie800 is a unique product. Like almost every other product. 
 
IF something can sound better, it will be better for you, not better for everyone. I really like this type of treble, this type of bass, this type of mids, this sound. 

Tested headphones, IEMs and setups 4X times more expensive and I still wasn't as impressed as I am with ie800. that is the entire point, find the sound you like, in the price you like. Ie800 is really treble happy, bass happy, mid sweet, soundstage nice and separation incredible. The very unique sound is it's own. You can be happy with a fiio EX1 if you want a really good price/performance ration, and I heard many being happy with echobox IEMs, but if you want ie800, there is no other IEM that will have the exact same sound.

I have always had a love/hate relationship with my IE800s until recently. I have always loved the sound but hated the comfort and fit of the stock tips. I found them to have poor isolation, they were a little uncomfortable and they fell out or lost their seal all the time. It drove me to distractions I could ever just enjoy them.
I've recently discovered SpinFit universal ear tips and they have made the IE800as comfortable and easy to live with as my shure SE535s. Now I can just enjoy the music in complete comfort even when walking the dog Which was impossible before.
These are now a near perfect set of IEMs for me, they don't isolate as well as my shures but they are better than before and I can't really think of anyway I would change the now.
I've even started using them as my go to at home and I currently have Hd650,HD600 and HD800S.

Very nice find! 
 
I think someone tried this combo before, I wish they would bring spin fit to Romania, it's hard to buy them from outside.

They're available through Amazon...not sure how shipping is to Romania though.
Curious if the Spinfit medium corresponds with the Senn medium, might be worth trying.

I used the medium stock tips and the medium SpinFit tips are perfect for my ears.
They cost me £7 and it's the best £7 I've eve spent. Who knew that such a little thing could fix a £600 IEM :/
Edit; I've ordered the focal elear and I will be selling the Hd800S, this is as a direct result to rediscovering the IE800 thanks to the SpinFit. The elear looks closer to the ie800 sound on paper but it needs to be damn good to dethrone the ie800 as my go to audio fix at the minute.

Thank you! 

I had no idea before XD 
 
Do you have an official reseller here? Or someone who is known to sell them? Ordering a single parcel is a bit of a hassle with our postage nowadays.

On these little guys the ear tips really make or break them...it's the last frontier to bridge between them and the ear canal...so you gotta get it right...

Honestly I can't get enough of these since getting the SpinFits! Just listening now via my iPhone 6 into my odac/o2 mk2. It's the most satisfying sound I've experienced in my 34 year life. Focal Elear are inbound bit I've already written them off.

weird i have the cp100 and its for wide bore and the problem with it is that is slides away whenever i remove out the ie800 from my ears
 
should we not use the cp800 for small bore instead

Clean down the ie800 nozzle with alcohol and wash the tips. Really push the tips onto the nozzles. Otherwise you can use the rubber ring from sony isolation tips to secure the spinfits, I use the rings and the tips are absolutely locked on. I`ll put a link with more info below:

As an added note, the CP800`s will not fit the ie800`s.
