I have had my IE8 since they first came out. Well, even though I am careful with them, the other day I accidentally broke the right ear speaker. I contacted Sennheiser USA and they want $199 to repair them (which they said is actually just a full replacement cost). Wow, this is too much money. Alternatively, I went on ebay and there are so many IE8's from China that are surely counterfeit. Where can I go to get a replacement or a fix for a more reasonable price and still get official IE8's? I found this link where they are selling for $69.99. Seems totally bogus:

the easyst give away is if they dont come with the crapy case, 4 bajillion meh tips and the neigh impossible to open box.
 
oh and if its stupid cheap thats a pretty big hint.

Thanks Mark, 
Yes, I think you are right. I was thinking the same thing. I can just kick myself for doing what I did. I just made a huge $200 mistake.

Seems you might want to read the Radius thread, which will cost you less than $200. Otherwise, if the IE8s are what you want, time to pay the piper. Even used, you can't beat the $199 price.
