[dleblanc343]

should i get these used for 180 canadian dollars?

[minhjerry]

@dleblanc343 If u can find this price, go ahead

[909nemesis]

how much did you buy these for?? does it have warranty?

[minhjerry]

@909nemesis I have paid about 450!

[j0rzeh]

@minhjerry I couldn't help but notice you didn't have to cut the plastic.... Allmost all of them with taped protective screen are fakes the real ones are not taped they are sealed and the only way in is to cut the actual plastic.

[minhjerry]

@pierce3101 Haha! With 1 cheap guy who dont have it. You can say anything you want! Moreover, in the box, they have stick, cleaning tools, the ear bud.

[minhjerry]

@Flatzout I bought it from UK dude!

[Yourmom1926]

Speak up I nairly heard anything u said

[VolodymyrOnyshchenko]

I have a pair for about 10 month now. Happy enough.

[V1DEOM4N]

For the Sennheiser IE8s, do you have to wear them with the cable going over and around your ear like in-ear monitors or can you wear them like no ipod earphones, Thanks =]

[V1DEOM4N]

normai*

[minhjerry]

Oh well! U gotta wear it like the in-ear monitor. Just because the ear phone cant hang in your ear like the ipod ear phone

[V1DEOM4N]

Okay, thanks.

[Zaalogg]

IE 8 For the Win!I love them!

[minhjerry]

The last time when i purcharge for this! I gotta pay 450 buck no shipping! But now i think u can get the cheaper price on AMAZON! U can buy from that site!

[jleeangelo]

@minhjerry wow you spent 450 bucks on those man. I spent 260 on ebay and they are legit. I was lucky on that deal. They normally average around $300.00 for the cheapest ones now and $400.00 for base price. But they are worth the money.

[erictjie]

how much do you pay , Jerry?

there is a wide diff in prices from $200 -500 on internet.

[fkthsh]

Please call Sennheiser and validate this pair, I htink they are fakes, alot of IE7 and IE8 fakes coming from Hong Kong. Sennheiser will let you know for sure.

[m1330T9500]

@fkthsh.. yeah the packaging looks a bit strange..

[I3eam]

I just ordered one yesterday! Cant wait!

[free3spirit]

hawaiiancerveza i wish i could afford the JH pros they sound astonishing, very very accurate, however the IE8s are great for people with less wonga!

[murfad]

senn-high-shure :D

[VolodymyrOnyshchenko]

Have them for about a 6 month. Love them.

[MisterMultimedia1]

oops oh, sorry x) lol

[namewho305]

looks like a package of cocaine. lol

[sz218]

good earphones but unboxing was kinda complex

[DaftSpunk69]

Very nice buy :) I have them as well, bought them 3 months ago and just love them.

[Glendale1901]

Too bad you can't speak enrish and that they're fake. dumb fuck ass nigger whore

[raymondu99]

eh? Which part's fake?

[StoffeBuZ]

..lol

[raymondu99]

I prefer my IE8s to my old W3s :) Well the W3's aren't THAT old.

[thechoice33]

why, i don't know which one to get, the w3's (Westone 3) or the ie8, which is better???

[raymondu99]

Lol. Sound is a very subjective thing mate. What sounds good to you might not sound good to me.

[raymondu99]

Actually, are you still a beginner audiophile, too? If you are I might suggest something cheaper first. To train your ears first. I doubt beginners can really pick out the in-depth quality differences. No offense meant.

[thechoice33]

No i am not, i already have the shure se530 for about 2 years and my denon ah-d2000 for one year, so what u think of these?

[raymondu99]

Lol. Sound is a very subjective thing mate. What sounds good to you might not sound good to me. Personally I tried the SE530, TF10, and W3 back then. The TF10 and SE530 weren't for me, so I went W3. Never tried the AH-D2000 though, so I can't comment.

[thechoice33]

what is the main difference between the ie8 and W3's for example bass, soundstage, detail, highs, mids etc...

[Gbjerke]

ie8s bass goes lower, and isnt really stronger. Ie8 has a way bigger soundstage, detail, well both of them are unforgiving, highs on them are quite the same, maybe a bit exaggerated on the w3 for sensitive ears and mids are about the same. If Freq. response matters more to you than soundstage and imaging, in this matter, the W3 is better. Sorry as this is 3 months old. Visit head-fi for any of these questions.

[thechoice33]

what is the main difference between the ie8 and W3's for example bass, soundstage, detail, highs, mids etc...

[raymondu99]

Long story short: W3's are more of a "jack-of-all-trades." Excellent in all but perfect at none. The soundstage and bass on the IE8s kill any other universal IEM out there.

[thechoice33]

I agree, the sound of he W3's is very flat.

[hawaiiancerveza]

not ....the JH pro13.... those kill all headphones out there.... it will be on top for a long time....

[Zaalogg]

....and kill any wallet ...it will be on the top of that for a long time.

[hawaiiancerveza]

ya they will not only that but JH pro are comin out with a 16 and 18... sheesh! they are suppose to have 3 tweets, 3 mids, and 3 woofers... its gna be like $1150. or something like that. But I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a pair of IE8... around 250 or something like that.. but I can keep dreaming...lol

[hawaiiancerveza]

ya I just ordered mine but got it for 319 from an authorized dealer =) I should be getting mine on monday.

[hawaiiancerveza]

opps sorry i seemed to have over looked the "universal" part...lol

[OwnDiZzL3]

@raymondu99 In quantity but not quality.

[VolodymyrOnyshchenko]

Cant wait till my next salary ))

I will buy them too :)

[kmpkingshorse]

I've been researching between the Shure and Senns, but went ahead and purchased the Shure. Couldn't demo them anywhere, but heard the midrange on the Shure is pretty sweet compared to the Senns.

For fullsize headphones, I'll stick with Senns though =)

[idrinkcolaz]

Ok, glad you like what you have,so how does the comfort go along compared with se530?If you dont mind me asking.

[minhjerry]

Wow! I prefer IE8 more than SE530!

[jleeangelo]

@minhjerry I agree with you. From the reviews I red these are overall good in sound quality and bass. The se 530s are best in the highs but leave a lot to be desired. You don't feel like dancing with the se530's but with the ie8s you gotta move ;).

[idrinkcolaz]

nice purchase, since you've said you had a shure se530 before, comparing it between the sennheiser ie-8, which do you think is better in terms of sound quality and comfort?

[minhjerry]

Yeah, that's true. My IE8s was really perfect in everything that u mention. It has a strongest bass in every earphone that I used such as SE530s, E5C.... That was the most cool in the world now, i think!

[blatantlyambiguous]

I will be ordering a pair from headroom today or tomorrow. I'm really excited. These IEM's are perfect. Bass oriented, isolating, easily driven, adjustable bass, excellent stage and so articulate. I'm rambling in my pre-purchase stupor. Hope you're enjoying these things. They better be burning in as we speak!

[minhjerry]

It cost me around 449.95 buck including shipping! I bought it on ebay!

[mrkoven]

damn how much was that

[minhjerry]

What do u mean man?

[triluve]

any word on fake ones?

[minhjerry]

Haha! That's right! There is a small label under this box! U need to cut it before take it out! Anyway, the sounds is awsome! The best that i have ever known!

[athawulf]

You lucky duck! I am planning to buy one of these too. It seems hard to unbox huh? hehe.
