Awesome thread! Wish I had known about your thread. I had to figure your it out by trial and error. Love that you have images to support each step. That is very helpful.

Yes mostly i did trial and error since my first walkman OS walkman in 2007, suffered same woes of progressive Jpegs and so on

This one works fine but it's time consuming, maybe I'll try paint for a quicker result.

WM1Z + IE800S = Fantastic pair up! and convenience of the modular cable with 4.4mm termination!

Just reviewed IE800S here. As a matter of fact, I haven't come across a bad pair up with WM1Z yet

Is the new tip feel grippy or is it a smooth silicon? I had maybe 20 hours of usage of my IE800 as it simply doesnt stay put in my ear. Thanks in advance and love your reviews.

Included silicone tips feel silky smooth. I think the ear anatomy and how oily your skin or how much wax you have can all play contributing factors From my personal experience, I have used IE800S with silicone tips (the largest one) for many hours in the last few weeks, and found them to be very secure, super comfortable, and providing great seal and isolation. I was seriously worried about sound leakage and passive isolation due to those large vents in the back. Found no problem at all, even after extended listening session. Also, after multiple uses with pulling them out of my ears, the plastic nozzle inside eartips always stayed securely latched.

Btw, US Senns will lend me IE800 for a few days so I can compare the sound; looking forward to that.

We all know the quirky fit of the IE800, did they do anything substantially good with the fit and comfort this time around? Sorry for the off topic.

The only way to find out is to compare it side-by-side...

and back on topic - the soundstage expansion is unreal driving IE800S with WM1Z from balanced. Also, such a pleasure using right angled 4.4mm connector without any adapters.
