Sennheiser IE 8i

 

The Sennheiser IE 8is are a newer pair of in-ears that have a few interesting features. With eight different sets of sleeves and optional ear-loops, it's not hard to see that Sennheiser really tries to make the listening experience a comfortable one....

Solid distortion performance ; Nice, even tracking

Not the greatest isolation ; Some quirks in frequency response

The Sennheiser IE 8is are a good set of in-line earbuds, albeit with a high price tag. While you’re likely to find cheaper headphones with comparable audio performance, the detachable ear buds allow for easy maintenance.

Sennheiser IE8i

 

Are these the best earphones for discerning bassheads?

Deep, punchy bass ; Customisable bass level ; Removable cable

Kinda ugly design

The Sennheiser IE8i show that earphones don't need six drivers to produce great sound. Using dynamic drivers, the low-end is more prominent here than in almost all pairs available at a similar price, but the quality of bass here is alarmingly good....

Sennheiser IE 8i review

 

There's much to recommend these over-ear cans, but at the money we'd want a better tonal balance

Secure and comfortable, lots of detail, enjoyable sound

Cloying bass, iffy tonal balance

Enjoyable enough, but they need to be better balanced tonally
