Some questions regarding breaking-in and IE8

[snowflakes 0]

I've been lurking around the forum for quite awhile searching for info and I say this forum have lots of useful info. Anyway, let me cut straight to the the point.

 

Some questions I have in my mind:

 

1) I've seen the FAQ regarding breaking-in of IEMs and roughly got an understanding of it, however, do I keep replaying the same track over and over again? Also, I've read some comments about using only loseless tracks to do the breaking-in, is it really necessary or any tracks will do? Could someone enlighten me on this.

 

2) Recently, I decided to change my currently using Shure SE110 because I find it quite lacking in certain aspects (which I don't know how to describe - I'm quite new in these stuff). Just for info - I used ER6i and Shure E3C before so this time I want to try another brand.

 

I tried auditioning UM2, Image X10 and UE TF10 and I've pretty much made up my mind on TF10 since UM2 sounds abit harsh? and Image X10, well, not up to my liking. However I stumbled upon threads regarding Sennheiser IE8 and got interested in it.

 

Yea, I know that different people have different taste but I haven't seen any threads with TF10 and IE8 as comparsion. So, how is Sennheiser IE8 compared to TF10 (Wanted to know since I didn't have chance to audition IE8)? Lastly, may I know how much IE8 cost?
