I'm curious to know if a TripleFi 10vi cable can be used with the TripleFi 10 Pro to essential turn it into a TripleFi 10vi.

Additionally, I was very impressed with the SuperFi 5vi. I was amazed at the sparkle in the treble. But after about 15 hours of burn-in so far, that Sparkle seems to have rounded off a bit. I'm not sure if it's my ear acclimating to the sound, or the IEMs, simply burning in. But question is, does the TripleFi maintain the sharp sparkle all the way through? I'm thinking of returning the SuperFi, and going straight for the TripleFi. Also, is the bass more impactful on the TripleFi without the compromise of any clarity.


My definition of Sparkle is hearing the crisp tingling and vibration of an acoustic guitar being strum just in case I'm using the term improperly. But that type of sound gets me every time. First experienced with the Grado 325is.


I'd appreciate any comments, advice, or suggestions

ti thinkk triplefi 10 pro and trifi 10vii are exact same in everyway except the mic, i just bought some 10vi's for < or = to 10 pro's,,, i aslo rock the superfi 5 eb,, and the eb is hand s down my favorite iem, compared to westone 3 um3, adn triplefi 10vi,, even though i havent burned in triplefi10vi more than 50 hours,,,,, the mic on the triplefi is excelent,, 10vi has descent bass, leaving me wanting more while a-b ing to the superfi 5 eb,,,,, my theory(having not tried the superfi 5 pro, is that the bass is probably similar to the 10vi,,, if you want more bass def go witht he supefi 5 eb,,, i love them......alas i think is hall keep my triple fi as they have mic,, and do have a healthy upper mid section, i think maybe if you assumed as i did, the fact that they have triple drivers means that they have a larger woofer is false,,, they do probably have much better upper mids than the superfi 5 pro,,,my guess,,,, the fit for the triple fi 10 is not as bad as many others suggest,, its not great either,, the triplefi cable does cause alotta of noise, and the rubber is very rubbery dont know how to describe really buit its diff than superfi, maybe it like that only for the vi model.....i was about to send back my w3 as i was dissapointed while a-b ing them to my fav. superfi 5eb's, all boxed up and ready to ship,, but now im stuck thinkin ill have to unbox again and a-b to the triplefi 10vi
---------also you sounded like you were planning on modding the triple fi 10 pro witht he triplefi 10vi cable,,,,, if you have the balls and or know how to do this, i would highly reccomend takin the inline mic cable and modding it on the superfi 5 eb's,,,,im pretty sure that ue does not make a vi inline mic for the superfi 5 eb, if they did i would ve just gotten that and saved 250

good luck, i cant make my mind up about the w3, descent bass,, overated highs, crappy cheap desigh and cable---- after burn in how much better could they sound?

ue superfi 5 eb triplefi10vi, westone 3 um3,,, rsa predator amp/dac
