Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 POLARITY

Harijs · Mar 21, 2012 at 5:09 AM

Hello guys!
I just want to know about the polarity of my earphones. I've lost my original cable. Which picture is right - Nr.1. or Nr.2. and how do you know it - how can you be sure about it.
Thanks!

Thanks!
Based on that, the 2. picture could be right.

If someone would have a multimeter and original Triple.Fi 10 cable, it would be easy to find out.

I think I got the right answer:

Left (L) "bud" is correct in the (1.) picture;
Right (R) "bud" is correct in the (2.) picture.

Someone disagrees?

Here is another picture:
Maybe someone has a multimeter and the original UE TripleFi 10 cable? Is this picture correct?

Both pictures are wrong.

Looking at both earphones the way they are arranged together in each of those pictures, the signal contact is on the left and the ground on the right on each earpiece. They're not opposite of each other like in those pictures.
Yes, I have my own TF10, stock cable, and a digital multimeter.

Ok, then which earpiece in this picture (picture with the 3.5 jack) is shown correct?
(Left) or (Right)?

Both are correct in that blue picture with the two earpieces next to a 3.5mm plug.

Are you sure? Did You checked it with a multimeter based on Your original cable?

Yes, that's what I first said. Yes, like I said, I have the stock cable and a multimeter and figures it out using the two.

That plug has the same shape as the one that I just put on my MTPC, lol.

Here's another picture I found of TF10 with the correct polarity marked out.

Considering this thread comes up in google searches for Triple fi 10 polarity it might come in handy.
