If the Arrive is a clean source, it'll be my next phone for sure

PS: the IE8's are incredibly punishing when it comes to a dirty source. they will sound like broken speakers in some songs because of the added noise
then it must be the encoding of ur files. I know some of those high end headphones will bring out the imperfections and audio artifacts. try encoding them into .wma pro format with a 64k bitrate and a 48khz sample rate and see how much noise ull hear then.
