Just a part of daily routine)
Here are the "vents" from the inside.

The bottom is not clear, but looks like a small hole on the lower half that is out of the light?
There is no acoustic damping pad on the upper?

Oh boy, how could I miss this!
Just kidding) This hole is for the cable.
Damping is removed to be replaced.

@Vesperaudio You seem to be very knowledgeable about the IE800.
Could you please let me know what sort of strain relief the IE800s have? Is the cable soldered(?) in a mechanically sound way?

Thanks!

 

[Vesperaudio]

I am afraid I do not understand the question. Please perphrase.
Cable is soldered to the driver, as usual.

I mean, how strong is the solder connection? Should I be worried that the wire will separate from the IEMs if I accidentally tug at it?

 

[Vesperaudio]

Strain is of course not based only on solder joints. There is a clamp that holds cable in it's place. And it is very strong. Tug will not break it. The only issue that may occur here - when the bend relief gets stiff and broke glue may soften and the cable may start rotating inside the enclosure. It will lead to malfunction shortly. So if you have the rotating issue - it's time to see the doctor)

That's reassuring, thanks!

Left driver of my IE-800 suddenly died

No bumps, no over-amplified signal, no torn wire (I really care a lot about them) it just died.

I live in Italy, anybody knows if there's a chance to repair it - and maybe how much it will cost?

Thanks!

Thank you, but first I am looking for a technician here in Italy

Apart from sennheiser and vesperaudio I don’t know anyone that works on the ie800.

 

[Vesperaudio]

Sadly people beleive in wonders and we are receiving ie800 after some unexperienced diasassembling attempts time after time. Nothing to be fixed in such cases.

I found a official Sennheiser technician after contacting Sennheiser, he will give me a quote for the repair for 40€ and then he will deduct from the quote if I'll approve it.

Let us know what was the problem.
