    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 5 Worth making into customs

    Are the UE Triple Fi 5's worth making into customs. It will only be about $150 (reshell and audiologist) plus about $50 (for the earphones) to make them into customs?

    Did I make a mistake?

    I got the UE SuperFi 5vi to replace my damaged Shure SE110's. I am listening to them now. They sound worse, oh no. Shouldn't the sound better? Is this the IEMs showing the poor source (Realtek onboard)? Do they require a burn in time?

    Is getting a DAC worth it?

    I used to use a Shure SE110. They sounded fine with my phone and slightly better with my PC (onboard Realtek).  Now I have the UE SuperFi 5vi. They sound good with my phone but TERRIBLE on my PC. For example in the song "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon, the bass guitar just sounds like muddy...

    Ultimate Ears Loud Enough Review

    Ultimate Ears Loud Enough Review   First Impressions:  Well they look rather nice and not terribly horrible to remove from the box.  Oh I like that the little case is a lovely blue (rather than the crappy dark colour UE normally give you.)  What I see that I don’t like is that looking...

    What Earbuds ~£30 (better than Sony EX85s)?

    As per title.   As it looks like the Orange/IE7 deal has fallen through, what earbuds do you recommend at £30 max that will be better than the EX85s? I currently find the EX85s too bassy and muffled, and am looking for something with leaner, punchier bass.   I've seen CX500s and UE...

    Need help with Westone UM3X or any other earphones

    Hi,   I need some help or advice.  I'm looking for new in-ear monitors with removable cable and I was wondering if the Westone UM3X are the root to go.  I previously had the Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10's and I did not like them because I find they are not as balanced as my UM2's and the fit...

    best choices for "etymotic" sound, upgrading from TF10

    I'm going to upgrade from the UE TF10 in a few weeks and was wondering what are the best current IEMs with the "Etymotic" type flat/neutral sound. I've tried my roommate's ER6i and greatly preferred its neutral sound and great clarity in comparison to the TF10's sound. To me, the ER6i has almost...

    ue 700 review - very pleased

    I just bought a pair of ue 700's for 70 US dollars and would have been perfectly happy spending 200.  They feel so comfy in my ears and have an amazing soundstage.  I am not a "bass head" but would say that I prefer bass heavier phones.  The ue700's have greattttttt bass, powerful and percise. ...

    Phonak Audeo (PFE) VS UE tri fi 10 Pro VS IE 8

    Basically, my budget could let me buy ue tri fi 10 pro /IE8,but since I read “headphoneaddict” rating which PTE is far better than 10 Pro, it make me so confused what I should get for my next iem. Technically, 10 pro is 3 drivers IEM which seems to be ahead of PTE/ IE 8. I like crisp, a bit...

    Custom IEM cable replacement

    Currently I have the stock slim style cable that comes with my Alien Ears (which also seams to be the 'black' cable that Fisher Hearing uses) and I'm looking at getting a black replacement cable. I have looked the UE/Westone/JH black but I don't like the bulky Y splice and the clear memory...

    iPhone 4 Case that Supports Oversized Headphone Plug

    I'll admit that I haven't done the most thorough job searching through the forums in regards to this topic but I HAVE done an extremely thorough job Googling this topic- without much success I might add.   Being the audiophile that I think I am, all of my headphones have oversized, non-iBud...

    Cutting off one bud.

    I have a pair of UE MetroFI 170v that aren't that good for much of everything.  I was wondering if they'd still work if I cut one of the buds off completely - just snipped the wire.  I'd leave the side with the mic on of course, and then they would serve a purpose for me.   Thanks.

    Back to square one, help buying customs IEMs

    I have bought, a couple months ago, a pair of Klipsch Image S4. Long story short, my right ear canal is "crooked" and doesn't seal well with any of the tips supplied. The pain was awful, I couldn't wear them more than 15 minutes. So I sold them to my sister.   Since I have a summer job, I...

    JH-audio/UE/iem vs full size pro/con

    So I have looked through the first few pages of searches entitled "iem vs full size" but the conclusion is surprisingly ambiguous. A few years ago when I was more active in the forums, fullsize won no question. I currently use grado 325s. I want something equal or better. I had looked at w3s...

    Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 VS Soundmagic PL-50

    Hi there, I was wondering how the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 compare to the Soundmagic PL-50 IEMs.  If they are any good I might pick them up because I found some at a reasonable price, but if there is no clear advantage over the PL-50s I may not.  Thanks in advance.
