A poll IF you have owned the SE530s and Triple Fis
This poll is only for people who have owned and used extensively the Triple FI's and the SE530s. Please don't vote if you have only heard one, or have owned one, but heard the other at a meet.

For me: TF10's SQ is better suited for my taste. Both are about equal in the comfort factor (TF10 big earpieces vs. SE530 slightly difficult to use cable). SE530 wins in isolation but I don't really need that much.

I've used both of them extensively in the past and now, and I would give props to shure for it's comfort and isolation but it's the TF10 that I'm keeping now. For me it's been always SQ>comfort, isolation and I found TF10 to have a slightly better SQ, so that's the one I'm voting.

Great poll David! I hope more people weigh in soon. This will definitely help someone like me who is trying to chose between the two IEM's to buy. Thanks.
hold both in equal esteem with regard to sound quality with the triple fi being a little more detailed!
Comfort for long term use is a big issue though and for that reason I find myself unravelling the Shure more often!
To be honest I had to check the web as couldn't believe the triple fi were in correctly first time popped them on!

Reason: apellinh
Loved the sq from the triple's but the more i listen to the Shure's the more i love the little blighters. More of a warm musical sound for me. Comfort wise the Shure's again for me, it was the one reason why i sold the triple's, just couldnt get a nice fit with them, where as with the shure's i can barely tell they are in my ear.
This is a really cool poll! I only own the se530s, so I won't be voting. But it will be interesting to see how the results stack up. I'm sure they are both great, so a lot of this is purely personal musical taste.
Interesting that (at this point at least) it seems to be about 50/50 as far as overall preference for the SE530 or Triple-Fi. If that keeps up it's not going to help potential buyers very much...
