I'm looking for opinions about IEM's.

I've been using the Triple-Fi 10's for a few months now and they are simply great. The fit is still a little of a bother, but they still work amazingly.

However, the fit remains a problem. I was looking at the Shure 530's and the Klipsch Image S4. I understand that the Shure 530's will not disappoint, especially since it uses a Triple speaker system (is it better than the Triple-Fi triple armature set-up?).

Will there be a significant change between what I have now and what I may get?

Coming from the TF10pro the SE530 can disappoint. Both use triple armature designs, and Shure means armatures when they mention speakers. The SE530 is a different flavor and not technically better or worse. I personally find the TF10pro to have fewer flaws than the SE530, though you might prefer the inverted (as compared to the TF10pro), mid-centric sound signature. This sound signature comprises most of the difference. I would only consider the SE530 if I could make back a significant portion of the investment selling the TF10pro, and only due to comfort issues. I did find the comfort of the TF10pro horrid compared to most universals, but I only tried and did not own them and therefore did not have enough time to experiment with tips.

ATH_CK100 is upgrade over TF10Pro, it shows more details in highs and mids than Tf10Pro with grea extention in bass area but it's need some burn in to fully open up and overall it's easy to wear. There are few more IEMs Like Westone UM3x, Westone3 and Sennehiser IE8 they all are really good to shows details in music and fun to listen.

triples to 530

hello mids bye bye treble

get SE530 only if you want a mid-oriented IEM. SE530 isn't good for many genres, TF10pro is more versatile, so if you're the type that listen to a bit of everything, consider others, like westones or IE8.

Sennheiser's IE8's are a lot more comfortable and it's similar to the triple.fi's in terms of sound...

tf10s pwn...absolutely bam bam thank you mam . I say stick to the triple fis till you're able to switch to customs

Oops, fixed that for me.

fit and comfort was definitely a problem with me, i sold my triple's and went custom in the $400 range...
