Sennheiser IE8 Sound-Isolating Earphones

 

Great sound quality delivered thanks to the best technology

The best sound quality possible that you could get from a pair of in-ear earphones are given bye these earphones. The range of accessories provided along with these earphones are very useful. Sound-isolation means that external noise is removed

The carry cause has space for extra tips without really needing it. The bass of these earphones is a bit weak

The flagship earphone model of Sennheiser, the IE8 is the best piece of equipment for the audiophile who wants to stay mobile at all times. It provides out-of-this-world sound quality and extremely effective noise-cancellation thanks to its...

Sennheiser IE 8 Review

 

For years Sennheiser, one of the world's leading headphone manufacturers, was only known for one model of in-ear phones, the CX 300 - and those weren't even Sennheiser designs, but an OEM product made by Foster Japan. With the success of the relatively...

Sennheiser IE8 Earphones

 

Sennheiser have been manufacturing audio products since 1946, only a year after they were formed as a company producing tube voltmeters. Since then they have built themselves a fantastic reputation in the consumer and professional audio market.

There are many positive elements engrained in the Sennheiser IE8… for example the first impressions are superb due to the fact they have some of the best packaging around. The product is as well protected as it could possibly be and the wealth of...

Sennheiser claims its new top of the range earphones can compete with the best from any other manufacturer. Ed puts them to the test.

Sennheiser IE8 review

 

With a proven track record with in-ear 'phones, can Sennheiser's top dog rule the pound?

Detailed sound ; Good accessories ; Bass tweaking

With its combination of neutral midrange and treble, bass and effortless detail, this is arguably the model to beat for all-round sound

Sennheiser IE 8 review

 

A big, eminently musical delivery ; extremely comfortable and snug fit ; don't amplify body noise or movement

Some have slightly greater attack

If you're a commuter who values their music, you have to give these a try

Sennheiser IE 8 review

 

Can Sennheiser's ultra-expensive in-ears even begin to justify their price? Actually, they can…

Expensive, but there’s no finer way to drown out the cries of your bank manager

Sennheiser IE 8

 

This pair of sound-isolating earphones is one of our all-time favourites, with explosive bass that dance fans will adore.

Stunning bass performance and overall sound quality ; Solid design

We've heard sweeter treble from other models

Shure's SE530s will give you less bass but a sweeter, airier treble, perhaps making them preferable for country, folk and jazz, but this is too subjective for us to use when scoring the IE 8s. But they're certainly an alternative to consider if you...
