Triple fi 10's died after 1 hour use! (I'm almost dying too) - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

it is ridiculous, you pay 200 pounds for an IEM and wait for it about 70 days (killer waiting!) then when you reach them and are enjoying the music, in a second, triple driver converts to a single driver!

no bass from right phone just high range driver works.

what the heck those ultimate ears guys do with their products?!

had anybody such an experience with triple fi's? then what you did and what yout got from UE after contact?

and what you suggest to me to do now?

here you go
What is going on over at Ultimate Ears???

you might want to post in the new "Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors" subforum rather than this Full sized headphone one

thank you for link.
couldn't find the sub forum you mentioned, anyway, in "what is going on over ...." thread they all got a brand new pair from UE after contacts but i'm in iran and cant do that.

there is no way to repair these phones?
put it in trach can?

Contact the person you bought them from, and If they are new, they should be replaceable by warranty.

oh yea to find the subform just scroll up and click Equipment Forums and you will get foward to a page with a list of subforums, Or just go to the main forum page, its below the Full sized headphone subforum :]

Do note that if you got your TF10 from unauthorized dealer (like eBay), there is almost no chance that UE will service it. The best way is to contact the seller, ask him (or her) to help as this should be the least that he could do for you.

i think UE golden period is over... it will go down hill... yes no?

hopefully they buck up and stop the nonsense

Not quite. Most companies these days has the same policy on their product. Sennheiser and Shure would probably do the same if you get their products from eBay... of course, sometime people do get lucky and get their warranty claim, but I won't bet on that.
