IE8 is very muddy IMO even if they are for bass lover
Plus, IE8 is very old by now

dustytrailI have quite a few iems and of course it is not as detailed and clear as my K10 but it does hold up very well if you give your ears and brain a few hours with them to acclimatize. Afterwards just pop in and go. I love them. For 500 there are better choices. Maybe even for 300. But for $129 these are awesome. For people who missed out on these. I think the Pioneer SE-CH9T-K are sounding similar but have no adjustable bass. Cheers

jenilfranco2000IMO it doesn't make a vast difference when tested on different source/players/amp/dac etc and it still sounds muddy
I have tried it with my own - objective2 - Pioneer XDP 300R - Chord Mojo - iPod video/classic/nano/shuffle etc - Sansa clip zip - Cayin N3 - xduoo x2 - iPhone 3G / LG V20
but then again, this is coming from someone that listens to Etymotic ER4B / ER4S pretty much permanently. I am very used to the neutral/clinical sounding + transparent and excellent instrument separation from Etymotic
IMO a better compromise between clarity + bass + nice mids would be something like a Magaosi K3 pro (it has Knowles TWFK BA which provides the nice detailed highs - but not fatiguing, and it has a dynamic driver for the low-mids and bass)

koolpepi used them for half a year when my original etymotic ER4S was broken. I guess i just don't like the IE8's sound signature and it's just like how some people wouldn't like the etymotic sound signature either.
but IMO there are better earphones out there in the market that combines better value + decent soundstage + nice mids with much better detail retrieval.

dustytrailWhen you compare these with the IE80, how do they sound? Is the IE80 significantly better?
