I want to upgrade my IE80 headphones. Something which can be driven well from smartphones / Shanling M0. Soundstage should be wide. Instrument separation should be good. I dont like shrill/sharp highs. Liquid mids is top priority. Budget: 300 USD Music I listen to: Pop, Rock, Post-rock...

Dear folks, This is my first review on Head-Fi, pardon and kindly notify me if there are areas which need polishing. For the longest i have been using my iPhone X as my main source for music (well not really it was only launched less than a year back). Earlier today i finally got a microSD...

While I love my IE80, it's been my main for 4 years now, and it hasn't been the most comfortable when traveling and commuting. The slightly stiff cable hasn't been too comfortable over my ears with my glasses. I tried looking for an alternative cable, but I don't know if I could trust third...

Hi, so i recently lost my sennheiser ie80 so i have to find a new pair of IEMS. The things i want in an IEM are a very huge soundstage as that makes me enjoy it more and a bit of bass. Always had the feeling that with the ie80 i did not get the bang for buck I wanted. I did not like the mids and...

I bought a new phone, the Xiaomi mi a1, and it has a built-in amp with 10V. I also have the Sennheiser IE80, with an impedance of 16 Ohm. The problem is that whenever I use those two with each other, a very annoying hizzing/static noise is to hear. The same with other headphones with low...

Hi all, Haven't posted much as I've been pretty happy with the Senn IE80s over the last couple of years. But I'm getting a bit fed up with having to replace the cable every 8-12 months. The IE80s are fantastic sound-wise, and I have custom-moulded sleeves which give a wonderful fit and great...

Hey guys, I'm not that much of an audiophile but I would like to get a new pair of cans. I'm currently rocking a Sennheiser IE80 and the cable is such a mess... I've already bought 2 replacement cables and the 2nd one just broke. I'm going to mainly be listening in quiet public places (bus...

Hello all, I am currently going through the process of deciding on my next IEM (see this thread) and I'm having trouble making a decision between the Sennheiser IE80s and the Fender FXA5 Pros, mainly because there's nowhere for me to demo the Fenders and there aren't very many reviews out there...

Hello, So far i use the m50x and now im planning to upgrade my on the move iem to the sennheiser ie 80. Would these two benefit from a dac, like the fiio e10k ? Something more expensive maybe ? Im listening to my flac collection or tidal from the pc ( Realtek ALC892 onboard audio) or my phone...

Hello, this is actually my first post. Great website, have been using it to figure stuff about headphones and have read the forums but never posted or created an account until now. Anyhow, I am looking to buy headphones or earphones under $150 USD. I am not a studio person, but I like to listen...

Hey all, After exactly 5 years, my IE80s are very worn out and the eartip twists off easily - though probably easily fixable if I just superglue it a bit as it twists back on fine and doesn't come off if I twist it counterclockwise off. Previously it was held by some rubber on the inside so...
