Not quite a case of just 'too bad.' Sennheiser's top of the line IE8 has been so masterfully counterfeited that even big retailers like Amazon (online) and Target (brick and mortar) got entire batches of fakes. Head-Fi's efforts to distinguish a fake from a real eventually boiled down to using the ears, because they couldn't find physical differences otherwise.

kookie 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 From the website and in one instance a potential health hazard and regards to sound quality, its muddy, head nauseating sound signature would likely give you a headache after listening to 10minutes of your favourite rock music or trance music i think that answered your question..
