    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

      Just out of curiosity, where did you get the custom tips and how much do they cost?     As for the TF10's vs TF10 Pro's, I bought mine back when they were the pros and a few months back the original cable broke just before the connector. After emailing UE since you can't order some...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Quote: It's one of those things that people don't expect something so small to be so good, so they don't draw attention. But if someone has a large pair of around-ear headphones, they will draw more attention than IEMs purely based on size when they may only like 40 bucks. When I take...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

      Quote:   I completely agree, I bet most people think their's are better, and almsot everyone has no clue how much they cost. Although my set up is very simple with my TF10 straight out of my iPod, I enjoy the feeling that I'm enjoying good sounding music, and yet no one around me has...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Yesterday on the train to work in the morning there was a guy with ATH-AD700's, an LOD to an amp from one of the first gen iPod's (with the 4 buttons below the screen). I couldn't tell what the amp was since it looked like it was a silicon case that held both his iPod and the amp, but the amps...

    That's what I enjoy about going the store I do in Toronto since they carry high end stuff and actually know what they're talking about. Since the girl that helped me when I got my UE's, had SE530's and TF10's (probably got discounts from working there). I'm always amused when go into Best Buy or...

    A guy had Studio beats on the train into work this morning. Then when I got off the train saw a pair of HD595's in the train station on my way to work, a few pairs of porta pros, and Senn Px100's, made my dad better.

    Gonna save up for TripleFi10,will I notice a difference?

    I've had the TF10's for almost 3 years now, and I use them with a penguin caffeine amp (it was like $80 CAD). I've noticed a difference with them, there is a little more bass and the isn't just there more but it's definitely better quality base. Also to me it crisps up the sound and overall does...

    [GUIDE] Sonic Differences Between DT770-DT990 Models & More

    Hey Zombie or anyone else who can offer some input on this,   I'm thinking of getting a pair of DT990 250Ohm. My source would be iPod, I currently have a Penguin Caffeine Amp, and will be getting a Fiio E5 soon. Would those work well to drive the DT990's?

    They're are girls I know that have several coach or prada bags etc. and then they get a pair of shoes to math every purse and wallet, each costing several hundred dollars. With those you're not getting anything but a name to what you bought, at least with headphones you gain an enjoyable...

    She isn't cute, also older since I'm the youngest at the company being a summer employee while I'm not at school. But I definitely want to find out what she really thinks or how into it she is.

    At my summer job there is a girl that her desk is near mine who I've noticed with several different pairs of earphones and headphones. The only ones that I already knew what they were, were a pair of Westone 1's, and she has these Phillips headphones which I couldn't find much on them, I think...

    FiiO E5 amp (E3 upgraded)

    Quote: That's good to know, I should be getting an E5 shortly (told my brother for my birthday ), since I would be doing the same thing minus the LOD. Are you using one of the Fiio LODs or something else?

    Quote: It does depend on the recording and what you're using, sometimes I can have it that loud with my TF10's and sometimes I can't. I'll admit when I was younger I was pretty bad but I'm pretty good now, If I have it really loud it will only be for one or two songs

    Quote:   Most of my friends will have their ipod or whatever they're using as a source usually above or around 3/4 of the volume which is pretty insane, I think part of it is the crummy ibuds and them listening to music in loud environments so they have to have it high to hear anything...

    Quote: Doesn't seem like we're far off in age and I get the same thing. Most of my friends say there's no point and tell me how they can get "20 pairs of cheap ones for what you paid" They just dismiss it pretty quickly and think it's a waste of money, but everyone has their own...
