the 880's restored my faith in the Sennheiser brand
By IEMagnet
Once upon a time I had Sennheiser earphones and pretty much nothing else. I went two years using the CX300II's and then bought the CX310's. Then I purchased the Ultimate Ears 500, 700, and TF 10's. Then I decided I wanted a new Sennheiser product in my collection. I looked at the IE8's and 80's, but those have yet to float down to the $125.00 I paid for my UE TF 10's, so until I get that type of deal on either of those IEM's, I pulled the trigger in the CX 880's, since they normally list for $150.00, and were on sale on Amazon for about $50.00. I read mixed reviews, though mostly the majority of reviews on sound were solid if not spectacular. It's the build quality that took a huge hit in the community. When they finally arrived, I anxiously opened the box and got my hands on these. I plugged them in, no burn in time, straight out of the box, into my Sansa Fuze with my Fiio amp. The match was a no go. They simply did not sound very good on the Fuze. The problem being that on the Fuze, the mids were recessed. i mean VERY recessed. So i decided to plug them directly into my ipod. Ok. Better. The mids were now balanced along with the lows and highs. So it has to do more with the way the 880's interract with the Fuze. I then preceeded to go with a 6 hour burn in with pink/white noise and sweeps. I took the 880's and put them through my amp using my rockbox'd sansa clip zip. The sound coming from the clip was GORGEOUS! The highs are so CRISP and CLEAN! There's roll off, but the sparkle on the highs is simply impressive, and made the more impressive because the lows match the highs with fullness and boom without bleed or muddiness. The mids are natural and vocals really shine. There is just terrific clarity and balance through the entire frequency range. Now let me say that these are obviously not to be driven too hard, since the clarity gets grainy and the bass overwhelmed when pushed at high volumes, so these are best listened to at 60-70% volume max. Right now as i write this, I'm listening to my 880's, aware that the soundstage is above average and wide, and the instrument separation is also above average, though imaging could be better...I'm not gonna mince with the small things. The SQ of the 880's is simply worth more than the $50.00 I paid for them. As far as comfort, these are super comfy with silicone tips I borrowed from my UE's. The tips that come stock are weak at best. As far as build quality? I love the way these things feel in the hands. The looks are very catchy and the silver and black simply make for attractive IEM's. Will they last? Will the volume control faiL? i don't know. We'll see. My other Sennheiser products always had long life. I expect the same of these. I'm very pleased with my purchase, and look forward to many hours of musical enjoyment using my 880's. Now on to getting those IE 80's.
