I own these as well and am terribly un-satisfied with them. I purchased the monster turbines, and once they broke in there is no comparison between the two. I can't listen to the senns any longer, they break up and begin to distort with any real volume level. If you play them quietly, they don't distort nearly as much.

But they do a job and serve as a good stepping stone between stock buds and quality 'phones.

Ever heard of the Cyclone PR1 Pros?

I have to say, I'm not a big fan of Sennheiser either. I have the CX400II, and auditioned serveral headphones of the brand, and they are indeed dull sounding. But the IE8, that's a whole other thing

Very transparant and clean sound actually.
