I've spent years trying to find suitable headphones for my daily commute here in NYC. Although I've found some other, less expensive options, cables tend to die, isolation is missing, or sound quality is sacrificed for comfort and convenience. THe IE80 solves all of my problems with portable audio.
Pros: *The replaceable cable option is one of my favorite features. Headphone drivers rarely die, it's the cable that goes bad 99% of the time. Since the cable is removable, you can buy spares. I found them on ebay with microphones for $10. *Isolation - These headphones don't isolate quite as well as some other headphones I've used in the past, but well enough that I cannot complain. If you buy some foam tips to go along with them...problem solved. *Sound Quality - TOP NOTCH. I don't think I've ever heard better audio from earbuds. The sound stage is very wide, bass is incredible (i keep the adjusters on level 2) and the whole experience is magical. I listen to primarily hard rock but 'd highly recommend these to anyone listening to pop or techno for the amazing bass response. These kick the Beats brand to the curb. Much clearer, better range.
Cons: Price. With that being said, the price seems to be dropping rapidly right now. I've seen these as low as $270 in the past couple of weeks which makes the purchase a no-brainer.
