Yes. You are correct!
Thanks, that was the reply I wanted to hear
I did indeed... but on some used IE8's for now. If I like them, I may go for new IE80s. Just depends how much I like the sound sig.
Do the tape mode.. if u like it? then u need a ie80.
Hey guys!
I have been using my IE80 for almost a month and a half now. I have been using an FXD80 before purchasing the IE80. So far, the upgrade seems "underwhelming". AS the only difference i pick up is that the IE80 has better soundstage, music separation and bass. (or this enough justification for the price difference?) The clarity upgrade, which i was hoping, for wasn't there. Or did I pick up the wrong IEMs? the clarity for both seems to be on "par". I also notice the IE80 to be MUDDY or AIRY (don't know how to describe it properly)? I am no audiophile and I have picked up this hobby very recently, so please be easy on me >.< .
Is there anyone here that feels the same way as I do?
** Actually ordered a $250 silver/gold cable from PlusSound for the ie80's to improve the SQ. Hope i don't get burned with this decision.
Been using and Iphone4 as a source component ( bad i know >.<), and been listening to 80's soul/r&b (MJ and EWF, Stevie Wonder,..)
Could my source comp. and file format be the cause of all this? Also, is there a way to improve its clarity? (music is MUCH clearer in my dad's bose home system... Unfair comparison, but still...)

Tape mod and JVC/custom tips. The sound is much improved. I'll admit I prefer the fit of the sony hybrids(new type) over the more open sound of the JVC tips so I use hybrids with a treble boost of +3db.
