lol " ichican"
I'm outta here!
I'm outta here!
I really wan't to buy these IEM's but I'm stuck between these and the SE535's! Please help me...
i think it depends on what you listen too
classical- im not too sure, but it sounds amazing with pop, hip hop, dance
Eh, I got tired of researching the same information over and over. I own a pair of Sennheiser IE7's, love the warm sound. Just hit the complete order button on Amazon. I'm not a Basshead but I feel like the IE80's warm deep dark open sound signature may be best for me over the bright crisp treble highs of the 535. My stomach is feeling upset from the huge price tag ($439 USD from Amazon) but that happens every time I made a big purchase.
No turning back! No turning back soldier!
Yep I did the same and have to say I've been really happy with mine, I ordered the toxic cables silver poison last week...had more issues with that to be fair...£160 cable for a £220 pair of earbuds..but feeling better about it now and looking forward to getting them!
How long is a reasonable burn-in time for the ie80s? I've just taken delivery of a pair.Compared to my three year old ie8s they're sounding very hollow with quite a brittle treble.I'm using a Nuforce HDP,that flattens out the infamous mid-bass hump of the ie8s,but still leaves me wanting more treble,hence the ie80 purchase.The ie8 cable is far more supple/pliable than the ie80 cable,I had to swap them.Thanks.

Thanks Matt TCG! I had considered the wisdom of swapping the cables.The problem was,the ie80 cable was so stiff,it was impossible to get a decent seal on the right ear.I use the double-flange tips,which always work well.I've clamped the i.e.80 cables with clothes pegs to bend them in the direction I want them to go.It seems to be working well,I'll swap them back at some point.The sound on the new 'phones has changed in just the past few hours,I'll see what has happened in 70/80 hours.The ie8s took forever to burn in.They went from dire to wonderful.
