    Help me choose? Comfortable IEM's with sound signature close to HD598 ~$200

    I was going to suggest the TF10s when I saw the title. I was worried about the fit as well, as I have small years, but they are absolutely amazing. They sound great and after your ears gets used to having them in there (took about 2 days for me, 2 hrs listening a day) you can't even feel them...

    Custom IEM users, I need some advice!

    Hello everyone,   I have been using the UE TF10 vi for about a year now - sound quality is best I've heard in IEMs, and I couldn't be happier with them. One thing I've always wanted though, is a set of good customs. Being way out of the price range I could afford, this desire has mostly...

    Quality IEMs with removable cord. Budget of $200.

    So guys, I ended up getting the triplefi 10vis and let me tell you...they are absolutely amazing! I was so worried about possibly having to sell them because I wasn't getting a good fit, but after fiddling with them for 30 minutes (not an exaggeration) I got a good fit and learned how to put...

    I ended up buying the TF10s from a local guy, brand new. I will be picking them up tomorrow. Will let everyone know how it goes! I appreciate all the feedback you guys gave me, it has been most helpful!

    Is the fit any better? I have small ears and triple.fi may be too big. How is the fit on them? The 5 pros are pretty expensive so if I can get a good fit with TF that would be great.

    Thanks a lot. I think that I will be going with the super.fi 5 pro + westone cable combo. sf5 pro has great audio, and reviews only complain about the horrible cable. I'll be buying the cable seperate and hope to find a decent deal of the superfis that won't put total price over 200.

    $275 is a little much. So, should I go for a UE set and replace the cable with a Westone? I like what the reviews are for the UEs (TF, superfi, etc...) but the cable probably won't last me long. Can you point me to a Westone or other hier-end cable that is compatible with the TF10 or SF5 pro?

    Ah, so the Westones do have a removable cable :D   http://www.amazon.com/WESTONE-TRUE-DUAL-DRIVER-EARPHONES/dp/B000NIOVWC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295580271&sr=8-2   I think these are exactly what I am looking for. Is anyone 100% sure the cable is replaceable? The reviews are great, and...

    Excellent! I am leaning a bit more towards the UM2s if they have a removable cable, but the TF10s are also a good option. Can anyone comment on the cable quality of the TF10s? I've read a lot of complaints regarding the cabling on the SF5 pro, hopefully the TF10 didn't inherit this problem.

    Great recomentations! I especially like the Westone's you mentioned. Unfortunately, almost all are out of my price range. I'd also love it to have a replaceable cable, at least for peace of mind. After looking up more reviews on the superfi's, Lots of people seem to be complaining about the...

    Quality IEMs with removable cord. Budget of $200.

    I purchased skullcandys before because of their excellent warranty - they sent me a replacement set for free once I sent in my old broken one - but sound quality of their updated headphones just doesn't cut it. And cable noise is pretty ridiculous. If I get an IEM with replaceable cables I'll...

    Quality IEMs with removable cord. Budget of $200.

    I have been cycling through at least 2 pairs of headphones a year now - the cable never seems to last too long with how often I use them (several hours each day). I have done a lot of research on IEMs and it seems that as soon as I found one I like, I discover something bad about them (bad...

    Fake Shure ear buds

    I recently bought a pair of "Shure" E2C's, can someone tell me the characteristics of a real pair? There is supposed to be a time stamp on the plug right?
