    Is there anything that sounds similar to the TripleFi 10 in about the same price range?

    I recently left my TF 10 vis on a plane. It was sort of a sad day, but not entirely. I liked the sound, but pretty much nothing else about them. It seemed that no matter what tips I used they had a tendency to fall out and I could never get as much isolation as I expected. I have some Etymotic...

    Ultimate Ears Triple fi10 or Audio Technica ATH-M50 over ear?

    I had both of these until I left my TripleFis on a plane last week.    For isolation the TripleFis win, of course. If isolation doesn't matter I would take the ATH-M50 every time. Better sound in pretty much every way. And more comfortable.

    Looking for new speakers

    I also recommend the receiver/amp and speakers route. For a couple of reasons.    Generally, I think you can put together a better sounding system that way. It also makes upgrades much easier because you can swap out individual parts instead of replacing the whole system. Since you're not...

    Best 2.1 Speaker System

    I would be pretty surprised if the Dayton system wasn't much, much better than any of the systems you listed.    My only experience is with the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. I had it for a couple of years and never cared for it. It was loud, but didn't have any other redeeming qualities.

    Mine. I work from home and am also in the middle of a slide scanning project so things are a bit of a mess.    - Yamaha RX-V2095 Receiver - Denon SC-CX101 speakers - Klipsch KSW-10 (out of view) - AudioTechnica ATH-M50   - i7 processor - 4 GB RAM - GTX 460  - Audigy sound...

    Head-Direct Poor Customer Service?

    Quote: In this case they should pay for the next round of shipping to them. Or just send the replacements. You've fulfilled your obligations.

    A (better sounding?) alternative to Foobar2000 -OR- A musing in the realm of bit-perfect streaming

    Quote: Can you use the Windows volume mixer to achieve this? In Windows 7 (and I think some earlier versions as well) you can change the volume for individual programs. This does, however, introduce another variable.

    Never forget your first...

    Quote: Heh. As bad as the Skullcandy Smokin' Buds are, they were still a substantial improvement over the stock ear buds. I knew when I bought them that there were better options available (but not in Best Buy when I needed them that afternoon) so they got me looking for even better ones.

    I hope the Triple Fi 10s are great because I'm totally unimpressed by Logitech.

    Quote:   I didn't pay for next-day, but it is what was promised to me on Friday after they messed up and sent out delivery intercepts for both of the original shipments instead of just one. It has been eleven days since the order was placed.

    I hope the Triple Fi 10s are great because I'm totally unimpressed by Logitech.

    Now this is getting ridiculous.   Today I receive a shipping confirmation e-mail and they've sent them to the wrong address and they were sent 2 day instead of next day. They think they can have the address fixed but the shipping method can't be changed.   Supposedly their operations...

    I hope the Triple Fi 10s are great because I'm totally unimpressed by Logitech.

    I ordered a pair last weekend through the scratch/dent deal.   1. Their website is broken, so the first time I attempted to order, I was given an error message and told the order hadn't gone through. I placed the order again and received two order confirmations.   2. As soon as I...

    ***Deal Alert*** Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Earphones $200

    Thinking about getting these. I assume there would be a pretty big difference between these and the super.fi 4 IEMs?   My biggest issues with the sf 4s is that they don't seem particularly lively, and it can sometimes be difficult to get a good seal. Comply tips sealed well, but seemed muffled.
