EDIT: Hah... I just got a security call from my bank because me buying my IE8 came up as a suspicious purchase. The lady asked me if I had just bought something from Advanced MP3 Players and before she could even finish the question I was like "Heeeell yeah I did."

...Not really, but I almost did.

I just like that you can switch between both styles, and so easily too.

I'm so excited to get mine

. I wish I could see pictures of how they fit in the ear.

So is there any way to get the IE8s to isolate really well? Like as well as the Klipsch X10?

Isolation is fine for me, i was in town yesterday listening at a normal level (for me) and i could only hear cars when they drove up right beside me about a foot or 2 away, couldnt hear any talk or anything else. Just right for me, i like to hear when im about to be hit by a car lol. Ive been told Comply tips help isolation alot, im getting some soon to try. Its certainly not an issue for me, im just getting the complys to see if i can get even more comfort although its pretty good as it is.

if you put comply's on them I am sure you get plenty of isolation

When you do get the Complys, I'd like to hear how they make the IE8 sound. At this point, I am unfortunately guessing that they make it sound worse based on my experience with the Complys and my SE530, but I'd love to find out I'm wrong.

I guess you are not the only one Fruits. I'm another who's confused by all the amazing feedbacks of this wearing method...

From the first day i received my IE8, i've been wearing them the "upside-down" way when at home/work, i.e. when i'm not walking much, and wearing them the "Sennheiser-intended" way when i go out -- less microphonics indeed.

After reading this post and all the feedbacks i've tried to compare the difference again, and still found them sound identical to me...

Advanced MP3 Players is out of stock, and I don't even know if their price is the best as far as cost of the IE8 + shipping to the US. I'll just go ahead and put an order in if I can't find a better deal.



Here's where i got mine:http://http://www.askdirect.co.uk/uv...earch&l=20&f=0

Oh, and is there more than one coupon I can enter at Advanced MP3 Players when I order my IE8, or is it just the one "listenlive" coupon?



I've got the 20% off coupon from AdvancedMp3Players in front of me, and it says clearly in the corner:
Please Note: IE8 earphones not included in 20% off offer.

Sorry!
