I need these to be for sale already... bought some Shure SE215 to keep me going until these come out!

I know they aren't perfect but I really enjoyed the IE8. I hope that the reports of tweaks to the sound are true. I would love for the veil to be lifted and the upper frequencies a little more prevalent.

i agree, but i think the treble is prevalent enough for me

I sent in my IE8 to be repaired and its on super backordered. I called in yesterday, sennheiser sale person told me that I will have my replaced with a newer version. And here's the confirmation I received!! 199 is the charge for the repair not cover by the warranty   SO i guess it will be out in December?

Nice call! Guess we know just when to expect it now. 

 
P.S. Are you being charged $199.95 for the 'replacement' or is that merely written there, but within coverage?

 

[eh791114]

i stepped on my ie8... and broke the right earpiece literally in three pieces.. lol 199 is being charged for the repair cause obviously its caused by me not.. them ...

any idea on bump up cost?

 

[jrkong]

Ok, I've confirmed that there will be no IE8-IE80 bump up from several sources, and there is gonna be a fairly interesting review soon on my blog within the next couple weeks...

I replace a broken pair recently as well(about a month ago), the new pair sound dramatically more clear, with more detail in both the mids and the highs. the sound is so much more clear that I am sure these are different from my original pair, though I cannot confirm my hunch with any proof other than what i am hearing.
 
base impact unaffected.

Sennheiser mentions them on their website:

You got them replaced to the new ones a month ago?

They have the IE8 housing, but they sound like an IE8 with the majority of the problems i had removed(base hump reduced), I am still shocked at how much more clear this set is, the old set was worse than my DDMs, but the new set blows the DDMs away without having to be EQed.
 
I think I might be going crazy, but I noticed the difference before I knew that there would be IE80s. I'm definitely getting the IE80s when they come out for comparison.
