Triple.fi sound under $150?
Hi Head.fi-ers! I was pretty here active years ago, but am now a proud recovering upgrader (my wallet thanks me)! My favorite sound I owned was from my Triple.Fis. I LOVED the warm tone, active base, and relaxed drive they pumped into my ears. Sadly, I lost them, replaced them with the UE900s...- thekid22

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread
I had looked at their site, but didn't see anything with mic / controls; now I'll email to learn more. I wasn't looking to break the bank on an upgrade cable (under $50 sounded about right), but was hoping to reach a minimum build quality that I wasn't sure sunricky would meet (I think the...- thekid22

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread
Question for the gang: I'm choosing a new TF10vi cable after mine finally gave out... the only cables with a mic I can find are on ebay, 3 sunrickys, and one that looks very generic. I'm choosing between 2, and while sunricky stated they're pretty similar, I'd love any advice either from...- thekid22

Is it wrong that I'm anxiously and excitedly awaiting a pair of headphones that I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be underwhelmed by? a.k.a. Hope they come soon!- thekid22

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Hi All, Looking for some advise without starting a "should I buy A or B" thread. I love my triple.fi's for travel / portable use, and my HD-25s for closed full size / office use, but I'm looking for something open to be my primary listening cans. Ideally, I think I'd state that I want...- thekid22

Can't beat the price: Altec Lansing MZX2051S for $0 with free shipping after $10 rebate. No idea if they're any good, but free is free! (especially for something with a mic) http://1saleaday.com/wireless/?utm_source=dealnews&utm_campaign=promo- thekid22

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
One more thing to consider is the old 'take the stem out of the comply tips and put the memory foam into the traditional UE tip' Provides the seal of the complys with the durability of the silicone. I think there are numerous references to how its been done with Triple.fi tips.- thekid22

Logitech Ultimate Ears Warranty Service is Ultimately Worthless
Sadly, it turned out that the invalidated the 50% off coupon when they instead sent me the replacement cable for free; so no customs for me. That said, the new cable arrived 2 days later, and it was a quick, painless, and very easy process dealing with them, so I have nothing but love for UE...- thekid22

Logitech Ultimate Ears Warranty Service is Ultimately Worthless
just wanted to say that I had the cable on my triple.fi 10vi's die last week... Pretty simple: right at the base jack that would enter the phone, the wire wore out from extended use over about 4 years. Not a manufacturer defect, just extended use and wear at a delicate part of the cable...- thekid22
