About the Sennheiser IE 800

Audiophiles, you may now leave the building
Audiophiles no longer have to tether themselves to their home rig for pure sonic bliss. Get the Sennheiser IE 800 headphones and get going without leaving behind the comforts of uncompromised sound quality. You'll enjoy rich detail and a smooth tonal balance with these remarkably small in-ears. Their unique design represents a breakthrough for in-ear headphones. Rather than the multiple armature drivers typically used to drive high-end earphones, the IE 800 uses Sennheiser's specially developed 7mm “extra wide band” dynamic drivers. These tiny full-range transducers are able to cover a wide frequency range with incredible clarity in an extremely compact enclosure that's easy to drive with a portable music player. So load up on lossless files and take your tunes with you, without leaving any of the musical details behind.
Unique design minimizes distortion and enhances clarity
The drivers aren't the only unique design feature of the IE 800. Check out the dual vented enclosures, which direct airflow away from the diaphragm and out the earpieces for clear, open sound. This reduces distortion to a negligible level, so you hear every pristine plink of the piano or sizzle of the cymbal. Sennheiser's patented dual-chamber absorber further enhances bass detail by preventing loud low-frequency sounds from drowning out the more subtle ones. So not only do the IE 800s deliver deep bass response, but more nuanced bass as well.
Built to last
These certainly aren't your typical in-ear headphones, in design, sound, or construction. The IE 800's scratch-resistant ceramic housing provides the durability you would expect from headphones built with so much care. Two protective meshes protect the IE 800's inner workings from outside contaminants, and the included cleaning tool lets you keep the mesh dirt-free for many years of listening enjoyment.

Features
Overview: The Sennheiser IE 800 is a state-of-the-art in-ear headphone, loaded with innovative technology. The headphones come with 5 pairs of earbuds, a two-piece cord (total length: 43"), cleaning tool, and a premium leather carrying case.
Transducers: The IE 800s feature an extra-wide-band (XWB) transducer system with 7mm linear-phase drivers. These dynamic drivers are capable of delivering distortion-free sound, even at high sound pressure levels up to 125 dB (at 1V/1kHz).
Innovative Construction: The IE 800 headphones are designed, developed, and made in Germany. The drivers are housed in a scratch-resistant ceramic enclosure with state-of-the-art dampened two chamber absorbers (D2CA).
Ear Tip Assortment: The headphones come with five pairs of ear tips: two ergonomic, oval-shaped pairs for maximum comfort, and three traditional round pairs (the medium-sized round ear tips come installed on the IE 800s). All of the ear tips are made of soft silicone rubber that provide a good seal to enhance the lower frequencies.
Protective Meshes: Two protective meshes, one in the earbud cone and another in the ear tip help to prevent contamination, and to facilitate cleaning. Dirt particles and ear wax can't penetrate the meshes, so the headphone chambers don't get clogged and block sound waves. The supplied cleaning tool helps you remove dirt from the earbud and tips when necessary.

Excellent top to bottom, ultra-smooth with no peaks, dips, or roughness. Strong bass and treble, but very high quality. Some IEMs have difficulty producing the very deep bass below 25 hz clearly - the IE800 does it with ease. Most comfortable IEM I've ever used.
