Actually it's excellent!

Anyone know IEMs which obviously have better soundstage (expecially full 3D imaging) than IE80 except IE800? Thanks!
within the same price range?
in terms of budget offerings I quite like the Havi B3 - actually it has the same housing shape as the ie80!
it has a wider soundstage imo, smoother highs and mids but bass is a little flatter. however, it's also harder to drive - i've found the volume too low for my liking.
i am treble sensitive, how are the highs on the ie80? are they fatiguing at all? or are they pulled back a bit like the HD650s?
also i feel it may be uncomfortable the way the wire wraps over the ear in the ie80s - is it comfortable with glasses? anyone here use ie80s with glasseS?
ie80 + glasses should be more comfortable than most headphones + glasses right?

They are very smooth, not fatiguing at all. I even find them lacking some sparkle degree and energy and this is one of the reasons for upgrading to something with more extended treble.
The others are the mid-bass hump and the recessed mids. Recessed and veiled and that's really a drawback.
