Tested the bass capabilities of these and holy moly do these output BASS! I took them out of me ears, plugged the port with my fingertips and these things were just vibrating like nobody's business!

how does it compare to fideu a83?

I've done this and it works perfectly. The only difference in my method is to leave it soaking overnight. You can see the gunk the next morning. You then lift it out, making sure the grille is facing downwards and leave it to dry for a few minutes.
 
To avoid soaking the drivers I remove the cables and put each earpiece in a small bottle cap with just enough H202 to cover the grilles. If the cap is small enough it holds the earpiece so that it doesn't sit directly on the bottom of the cap.
 
Good luck. I thought I had a dead IE80 until I tried this.

I can't risk it.

I noticed my righthand Senn Ie80 is fainter. I thiught of trying the Hydro Pexide bath and unclipped it form chord and then for fun tried it on the lefthandside one...woked fine..Hmm O si put it back and now all seems ok back to normal.. The connection wasn't lose.
I brush the mesh every couple fo weeks with a qtip but have never noticed any dirt or build up. I dont have much earwax and besides clean them every day after shower with cotton bud.
 
I had never heard of massdrop so I googled it and found some kind of shop but the pic they have of IE80 do NOT look like genuine ones to me but fake. Not sure but there are some little details not right in photo.

Very unlikely that Massdrop would peddle fakes. They are not Sennheiser dealers in the strictest sense of the word; they are drop shipping agents. Their latest deal on the ie80 is pretty poor IMHO - you can get ie80 in the UK for 189 GBP (delivered) from a sennheiser dealer (HiFi Corner) with all the convenience that brings.

too expensive, my offer profitable.

I very carefully did the thing of dipping the tips of IE80 in Hydrogen Peroxide for about 5 miutes each. To be honest I noticed no difference afterwards . Either they were clean or they are no longer as good as they were 2 years ago?

It needs a lot more than 5 minutes. I usually soak overnight.

 

[LargoCantabile]

OK I did it up to the first plastic grove...not sure how high your mean...or where the parts that cannot be soaked start by looking at it from the outside. It would be useful o have a pic of the naked of earbud phone and and a mark to show on the various bumps and groves and indents up to where it should go? Can do??? Thanx. Oh does Hydrogen Peroxide come in various concentratins or strengths...my bottle does not indicate any such?

well the driver is in the large area of the shell, not in the tube extension part of the IEM. nothing there but air, the metal mesh at the front, and possibly wax/dust.

Did anyone try their IE80s with the new LG V20 phone? Im currently using my IE80s with my LG G3 without any amps or dacs or soemthing (and obviously quite dissatisfied with the audio quality and volume of the G3) . As im thinking about buying the new V20, i wanna know if the IE 80s can utilize the enhanced audio features of the LG V20.
 
Thanks for your help!

I just make sure that I cover the grille which is where the wax will have gathered. I use food grade (6%) H2O2.

these headphones are capable of playing with any device without an amplifier because it's the village 2010 - 2011-year

Can you explain please? Is it good or bad?
So i will not find any difference with the V20 compared to my G3?

 

[holden4th]

The IE80s are very easy to drive and should work well from any phone. I've amped mine and heard a bit of a difference but not enough to really warrant an amp considering they are coming out of a phone. The most important thing for the IE80s are the correct tips.
