From what i read on this forum the sennheiser ie 8 have extreme bass but i want to ask if the mids and highs are clear or you hear only bass.

Even then, I felt like it was a little lacking for my tastes. A few days later, the bass came back out from wherever it was hiding. Hope you experience the same - as the IE8's generally should not be lacking for bass if they are functioning properly. |
