After I had my previous Bose Triport In-Ears unfortunately on the return flight from the US tired as I did on the plane leaving behind, were needed new. The jump from the Bose on the Sennheiser was next to double the price even a jump in other (sound) heights. Were the Bose somewhat more intense in the bass range, it was important for me to be able to actively change this. This let to the IE8 via an adjusting screw. This can be covered individually almost every taste. However, the first thing that struck me personally - the Raumfülligkeit. The first time listening I still thought that something is artificially played me, but no, the IE8 builds a very finely defined stage and can slide into a quasi in the listening room. To perhaps a little to explain the different .... I play my music both via CD, but also in the form of flac or mp3 from. I noticed through the use of headphones for the first time, that you can tell them apart at their recording studio sound (recording conditions). The IE8 supports so many subtleties out at once that some songs that we liked before, not like at one time due to the resolution setting, other back again to the fore. Of course, everything is subjective, but just for my taste provide the in-ears very balanced midtones, because I otherwise somewhat sensitive in reacting to a strong emphasis. The IE8 is delivered in a stable plastisol / metal box and not only has 8 different ear adapters (a suitable place always) doing but also a Einstellschraubendreher and a cleaning device. In the box, they are excellently packed for transporting parallel is a dry pad for Absorbeiren of moisture in it. Is not used but good to know that the cables can be replaced individually (in ear without). But for me they are holding now more than two years and with weekly use.
