You bring forward a very interesting point about the SA6.

When I got my Triple.Fi, the SA6 sounded a lot darker. To have a brighter sound, I have to use the Treble Booster EQ on my iPod to bring the mid/high frequencies up. However, as I was using the ++ Treble Tips, the sound found itself slightly too much on the very high end part of the spectrum. No problem. Switched to the + Treble tip. Voilą, problem solved.

Because of this, I might eventually be ready to get rid of the Triple.Fis. The fit and comfort on the SA6 is second to none (compared to those IEMs I tried, and they DO stay in my ears!), the bass is really great and deep, especially with the bass + mod, and all I needed to bring the sound forward a bit is a touch of EQ and a tip change.

Something that I couldn't have been able to do with any other IEMs!

So huh... wireless coming soon?
