That's not necessarily true. It was comments like me that made me postpone a triple fi purchase for years. The only time I think of the triple fi as ear-piercing in the highs is if I hook them up to any sansa product... anything else makes them very balanced to me.

Oh no no no...I don't think the TF10 have piercing highs at all, that was not my intension . I actually was waiting for vultures to come and protect them after I posted that thinking whether I should of worded it differently.  I own them they're least sibilant of any bright IEM I have. I was more joking in an opposite direction of  IE8 being bassy post. TF10 are not peircing! 

 I for one am someone that cannot stand sibilant or SSsssss IEM's. TF10 do a remarkable job. but as bassy as IE8 are TF10 are equally as bright. 

That's what I meant.

Right, well it all makes sense now. Hopefully everything is clear to all party's. 

Thanks!

I just found these tips which I've never seen before on ebay (I look all the time) they look interesting.
 
 
 
 
I bought a pair of these.. steer clear as they are truely awful. They only come in one size- small.. and they are more like firm rubber in texture than foam, complete waste of time.
 
I just make mine from 3M memory foam ear plugs, very comfortable and almost as good as complys in a lot of aspects.

 Wow talk about good research!
 
Actually, i got my ear drum replaced a few months back. It would probably be a good choice for me to stay away from really heavy bass products. That being said, in terms of headphones, i have had the denon d2000, and loved those! People have said that the tf10's have almost the same sound signature as those. So i just wanted to hear other peoples perspectives on the comparison vs the ie8's.
 
Thanks for being so helpful! SERIOUSLY!

Also, is the cable on the 10vi and 10 the same? I remember hearing somewhere that the cables pinched easily.
 
Thanks! 

 
If I recall, the 10 cable is just a bit thicker than the 10vi.  They use the same sockets though.

I use the non-rounded end ones, I take one plug, squeese it flat lengthwise and cut it exactly in half with scissors to give me 2 tips. once they have risen back to their rounded shape I turn one on its end squeese it flat again and drill through the centre with a  2.5 or 3mm (Cant remember exactly) drill bit.
 
This guy does it a similar way but uses a different tool for the hole..

I thought 10vi is the one with a microphone for phone calls

I used to make my own tips similar to what you guys are doing. I was having problems getting the hole dead centre and found a tool that does it perfectly. I bought this simple $2 stainless steel hole punch (I think 2.5mm) which works really great. it has a sharp edge and cuts through the sponge perfectly with a slight tap.

Something to purchase if you're thinking about making your own tips long term.

The last few days I tried my TF10's with the foam tips that came with the Brainwaz Betas. I dare to say that I'm re-inventing my triples in terms of comfort and sound quality! I used to wear them with the sony hybrids but now, I think I have found what fits me best. Question is that if I want to order a pair of these tips, does anyone know where I'll find them? Thanks.

 

[shellshock]

u could check mp4nation.net they sell the beta, though i dont see those tips being sold seperately.
u might get them by using the customer service.
in the past bought serveral items, asked them several questions by mail and was helped just fine.
