Thanks, Ztick -- do you have any guidance on sizing for the olives? I'm assuming I need either S or M, but I'm not really sure... both the tri-flanges go in very far (the back of the third flange on the small one sits flush with my ear canal entrance), but both hurt pretty decently after a few...

Hi All,   Just got some HF3s to replace my TF10 (which I was getting massively frustrated with, isolation and fit-wise).   I'm having trouble with more or less all the stock tips... the triple flanges both seal well but hurt after only a few minutes of listening. The foams are definitely...

eferesan,   As someone who has the cable with the defect (and is in the process of returning it), my impression is that externally, there will be no difference in the cable. The copper ring will be internal to the bit that contains the plugs that connect to the IEM housing and will function...

Just got this cable 6 days ago, and unfortunately, the shielding has already come out of the bit that connects to the IEM housing; I've attached images below (note the exposed copper in the attached images). Purchased from amazon, so I'm trying to figure out what the return / exchange policy is...

I've posted this is a separate thread as well, but this seems an appropriate place for it:     Hi All,   After using TF10s for a little over two years, the stock cable started failing (bending the cable even slightly at the connector caused one of the channels to drop out). This...

Hi All,   After using TF10s for a little over two years, the stock cable started failing (bending the cable even slightly at the connector caused one of the channels to drop out). This quickly got massively annoying, so after reading reviews on the RC-UE1 cable, I decided to take a shot on...

Hi all, As a budding audiophile, I pounced on the $100 TF10 deal a few months back. Unfortunately, I've been having some trouble getting them to stay in my ears - not due to the much-derided fit of the TF10s, but rather due to the fact that I apparently have enormous ear canals. None of the...

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a set of head-direct RE2s based on my own research as well as the recommendations of people on this board. I am very happy with the sound... but the tips leave a bit to be desired. After some experimentation, I have found that I get the best seal with...

Hi everyone, I posted earlier asking for advice on earphones and got some great feedback... now that I have successfully changed out the battery in my aging H320 without turning it into an expensive paperweight, I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm looking for phones that are relatively...

Thanks for the responses... XEN, the mylarones seem a bit fragile for my taste... Having read through these forums, the two earphones I am most strongly considering are the Denon C551 and Yuin OK3; both seem good and are available for ~$60. Any thoughts on which would be better? Anyone...

Hi everyone, I didn't know whether to post here or in portable source gear so I posted in both forums (first time on head-fi, apologies)... so here goes: I have an iRiver h320 with a mostly dead battery; assuming I don't brick it replacing the batteries, what would you recommend as a...

Assuming I don't brick the player when I go about replacing its dead battery in the near future, what earphones/canalphones would you recommend for $30-$70? I obviously am not looking for super-quality phones at that price; just something pretty decent that will sound good without an amp...
