    IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

    Anyone know if the clear/silver Fisher cables oxidize? If they don't, I'd certainly prefer the clear cable to the black cable.

    Don't all of the silver cables turn green after a while? That's why I went with a black cable on my order form.

    Quote: Either or I'd assume. I'm getting a single colored logo.   Personally, I don't think writing would look very good. Unless we're talking your initials or something.

    Quote: Thanks again (I had already sent mine in, with it noted on the order form, but it's nice that it's an "official" deal now :P). I wouldn't have got artwork if it weren't for the deal, so it's really appreciated.   Now I just have to hope that translucent red shells with a...

    IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

    Quote: I wasn't in any rush either, but then I was told that them being done by Christmas was a possibility. My brain told me that there was no way in hell, but my heart told me that there was still hope lol. They only got my package on Thursday of last week, so I wasn't expecting them to...

    I did my own impressions as well. I'm really hopeful that they've turned out okay, but it looks like I won't find out before Christmas. It sounds like they're slammed right now, and I doubt they've even touched the package I sent them with my TF10's.

    Triplefi 10 question, about to pull the trigger

    Quote: It's hard to pin down, but I don't think so. Voices that are higher (mostly female) don't recede into the background at all. I guess it would be easy enough to go "Man these have an amazing soundstage!" instead of "man, the mids are kind of recessed on these" though.    ...

    Triplefi 10 question, about to pull the trigger

    I got my TF10's during the Amazon sale, and they definitely have recessed mids. Singers are a bit distant in the mix (if their voice is in the recessed range). Other than that, it was never a problem, and I'm sure it could be easily EQ'd.   The real problem is the comfort. To my ears, they...

    Custom IEM (cable) for iPhone w/mic & volume control

    I'm having my TF10's reshelled as well, and I'd be interested in a reasonably priced solution. I have a feeling that any inevitable solution would cost more than I'm paying for the entire TF10 reshell though, including the TF10's themselves.   For starters I can just hold the phone up to my...

    IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

    The group buy thread wasn't approved by Jude. In other words, it can't be organized at head-fi, if it's going to be organized. I have no idea if Foie (the guy who was contacting Fisher and Kozee) is still planning to do it or not.   If he is, I haven't received my impression material yet...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    These aren't the IEM's I'd recommend for pure mid-range vocals. For everything in the higher female and lower male ranges though, it's great. It's just that sweet spot right in the middle where things are a bit distant in the mix. I'm sure it's easy enough to fix with EQ, but it doesn't really...

    IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

    Does anyone know when (if) Fisher is closing down for the holidays? I just ordered a self-impression kit, so the soonest I could have my impressions to them would probably be some time between the 12th and the 16th. There's no way my reshells would be done by Christmas, is there? Even if I...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    I hope permission is granted for the group buy thread pretty quick. I'm hoping to have my TF10's back by Christmas. I'll have a lot of free time to listen, and no TF10's to do it on :P

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Quote:   I spent a couple hours listening yesterday, and the mids are definitely a bit recessed. It's not so horrible with instruments in that range, but vocals can seem a bit distant in the mix because of it. Only vocals in that particular range though, so deeper male voices and really...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Quote: I can keep my Ety's with Shure Olive's in my ears forever without discomfort. I think it has everything to do with how enormous the bore is on the TF10's. Compared to any other IEM I've ever tried, it's huge. (With the exception of a cheap pair of Skull candy's which had bores...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Quote: The front of the box got squished a bit, with my instruction manual getting bent a bit inside the black box. The metal box was also a bit loose, since all that is holding it is a piece of thin cardboard. The IEM compartment (if you can call it that) was untouched thankfully, but it...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Quote: Wearing these, I've realized that my right ear canal is probably considerably smaller than the left one. The comfort on the left side is fine, but the right side is killing me with the same tips.    Apparently there is still a reshell group buy thread coming soon, if anyone...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Just got mine. First impression....they're uncomfortable. I've tried all the tips. The comply tips are the only ones that will really even go in, lol (even with the ear lobe pull method).    They sound fantastic though. It looks like I may need to pay to have them reshelled. Are there any...

      I'm not completely certain on this, but I think the thread was shut down because the OP didn't have permission. Someone is PM'ing the OP to find out if he's going to get permission and create a thread in the proper forum   Oh and lol @ Triplefi 15 vm's. If they were going to rebrand the...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Quote: I think I have really small ear canals. The only tips that fit me on my Ety's are the smallest blue triple flanges, and Shure olives. Both feel like there is something pretty substantial jammed in my ear.    My progression is going to be to try the smallest TF10 tips, then...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 (from Amazon Black Friday 2011) Unboxing+

    I hope I get the retail box, if only because I trust blister packaging to keep the IEM's safer than a plain cardboard box (where the metal case can move around). What I'm kind of wondering at this point is why they don't ship the IEM's inside the crush proof case. Seems like a no brainer...

    The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.

    Quote: Someone should have told me about it days ago. I would have spent less time obsessing over the TF10 deal (that I was damn lucky to get in on).
