Are Sennheiser's IE80's the same as the IE8i?

[Raijvrocks]

Hi I want to buy the Sennheiser IE80's but I need inline control so I saw the IE8i, is the i model just the IE80 with inline control or is the IE8i the same model as the IE8? I know you can buy the IE8I cable separately but if the IE8i and IE80 are the same I wouldn't need the separate cable with inline control.

Help would be much appreciated.

There are differences between the IE8i and IE80 in sound. You can still use an IE8i cable on an IE80.
IE8i is just an IE8 with the inline control.
