TF10 didn't have anything resting on the ear outside of the canal and needed wire support. This looks like it should stay put without help.


agree , i must , tf10 was just a curved barrel , but TG334 has better ergonomics . still , to me , its a tf10 with muscles .

The TG334 is the only really expensive IEM I'd think about buy but having said that I'm extremely happy with the SM3 V2 and see no reason to spend $1000 more to get them.

I think after the tg334, everyone's more excited of the tg334 goin toe-to-toe with the newly revised tralucent audio 1plus2 w/ gold plated cable..
 
I wish joker had the chance to also listen on the tg334s with 000 cables..

Very enjoyable read on the TG334!

 
Thanks. You took a big part in giving me the chance to write it

That Fit Ear earphones reminds me of that UE earphone with the extra bass. I think it was UE5 EB?

 
Been a while since I've been near a pair of those. I think they were significantly uglier, better not say what they remind me of here in case any young'uns are reading.

Another good read.  Glad to know the Miracles are still highly regarded and I don't need to shell out for the FitEar or anything else top-tier.  Thanks joker.

 
Highly regarded by myself, not sure what the consensus is these days. There are probably other customs that sound as good as or better than the Miracle, though

Enjoyed reading the TG! 334 review. Now all we need is to get you a 1plus2 to compare to :p

 
Maybe next year.

Sounds like a great travel sig.

 
It does work well out and about but they look a little freaky and the isolation was too good for some of my commuting (also too good for the office). Should be great for those who take the subway.

This. For me the MH334 is much more secure in the ear than the TF10 and much more comfortable in the long run than some of the smaller ergo-fit IEMs such as the Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3 and SM3 v1.

No doubt a difficult spend to swing for most.

By that metric I started the TF10 review some time in the 1600s

Hi Joker!!
 
i am quite interested in the 1964 V3, and your comparisons with the FitEar 334 really piqued my interest today! How would you rate the V3 compared to the SM3 and westone 4? I owned the SM3 for a long time before I got tired with the thick mid range. My last high end IEM was the Heir Audio 4.Ai which I believe is somewhat similar to the westone 4, but had to get rid of it due to quite horrible fit issues. 
 
Thanks a lot!!

If anyone is interested, the SHE3580 and SHE3590 (basically the same thing, just newer) can both be had for $6 and $7, respectively at Marshalls (granted each store has a different inventory, but any that do have them will likely have them for under $10).
 
I've got to say, for the price, they're pretty great. I've got very limited experience with IEMs, but I really haven't heard that much of an improvement between the 3580 and other sets. Frankly, all IEMs I've heard sound slightly artificial to me, and the 3580 is no different, but hey, it's under $10...

@ljokerl
are you gonna make a review of the new vsonic vc-02 ?
I'm thinking between the vc-02 and the gr-02 (gr-02 because in your review it sounds(reads) pretty good

 )
And since you make such awsome detailed reviews and comparisons, i think it would make my decision easier.

or do you suggest an other IEM in the same price range

Very nice review man, thanks! And I think you really described the tg334 very well. But, Joker you should listen the tg334 with cable 000, to my ears everything is a notiable step up. Especially the highs, with stock cable I find some track has this uncomfortable piercing highs, but with cable 000 it becomes really smooth and more extended! I could swear it's not just in my head, but I really do hear it like that. Plus the soundstage becomes taller and wider and bass become 'tighter' but still speed remains the same.

Very nice review |joker|...you have compared them also with the current very good price-to-performance ratio iems which I had never heard yet. Currently this is one of the best sounding IEM that I have, only that it's very expensive (like a CIEM). I liked the presentation more than my JH16s, which has almost the same price here, and admittedly my favorite SM3. It's such a jewel.

As always, great review Joker. I enjoy reading all of your reviews. I also liked your comparisons... I love how you have such a high regard for the RE-262 that you'd compare it to this IEM costing 10x as much haha. Now, how about going back to reviewing IEMs not priced in the stratosphere :wink: so as to increase our hunger to purchase more IEMS?
