    CIEM fit question, is this normal?

    Hey guys, I recently received my CIEMS from a reshell.  The seal is 100% perfect, I can eat, drink, talk, etc... and they almost never lose the seal.  They are also very comfortable, and I absolutely love the sound.  So everything is about perfect no?   Well there is one really small...

    I got them!

    I received my 3a's!  The shipping was really (really) fast after I got the confirmation, thanks Heir!   They look great... I saw in the picture they seemed a bit darker than the smoke, but thought it was maybe the camera, but they are indeed solid black.  However, they look great, I think I...

    Super quick question, tell me I am not crazy?

      I posted this in the Triple.fi appreciation thread, but it got buried quickly.... :(     Hey Guys, quick question.. maybe you all can confirm I am nuts, or have crazy hearing...  I have had the SE425's and 535's at the same time as the Triple.fi's...  Anyway about 5 pages back there...

    Will a JH5 or AC2 give more or less bass quantity as a Image x10?

    Sorry for the noobish question... I have read that both entry level customs give "punchy" bass.  But compared to the quantity that the image x10 has, is it a lot different, little different etc...     I am sure the midrange and treble are going to be better with the two customs I have...

    Today went from beats by dre Tour to Shure SE 315

    Will provide more info when I'm not just on my phone. I know the Shure's are nor stellar compared to the high offerings, but compared to the beats they sound flipping amazing. The beats tour do make the "Top 40" sound pretty nice I'll admit and honestly I didn't mind the sound with the right...

    Do the Phonak Perfect bass resemble the triple.fi in any way? Soundwise...

    Trying to get some of the characteristics that I loved about the triple.fi in another earphone.  I guess bright treble and decent bass quality and quanity even at the expense of have some recessed mids.    I have tried the image s2's and 4's, the 4's were pretty decent for me, but I liked...

    So I bought a pair of Monster Beats Tour at the airport... Not as bad as some people think!

    Ok...  Here's my story...   I absolutely loved my pair of Triple Fi's... I got the fit right, got a custom cable from UE and I was set... Until I lost my job... Then I had to settle for some Klipsch s2's which for around $40 are not too shabby...    I now found employment, but travel...

    Anyone remove the memory wire and clear casing off custom cables?

    I have the UE custom cable on my triples... They seem to work well, but I would like to remove the clear shell and memory wire, so they would be more shure e2c/westone like... The only negative I can foresee would be no protection on the very thin wires from sweat and such, thus possibly...

    Return / Moral question...

    So My Triple vi's that I bought from amazon have separated where the cord meets the 3.5mm plug. It still works, but the wires are exposed and the rubber casing is creeping higher up on the cord exposing more and more bare cable. Amazon is shipping me out a new set it seems (Logitech told me...

    Just purchased the Klipsch Image s4i

    Got them last night, listening to them now... Coming from some Triples and IE6's prior to that. Firstly... Holy cats the cable is thin... Thinner than any other I have used. Hopefully I won't break it, I looked at it cross-eyed and it tangled by itself! Very tangle prone for me... Compared...

    From triple.fi to s4i, how big of a change?

    Hey guys... I want to get some headphones with a mic for my iphone. I have the triples now, which I love, but it's impossible to get a replacement cord with a mic, and the s4i's have the nifty pod controller too... Would you think I would be severely disappointed in the change when I use the...

    Should my Sony Laptop sound better than my 2nd gen Itouch??

    Sorry if this has been answered, but I wasn't sure how to search... Should my headphone out on a newer Sony Vaio SR290, with just the stock HD audio on the motherboard sound better than my 2nd gen Itouch? To me it sounds way better, even my work laptop a Dell Vostro seems to have better bass and...

    Crazy simple stupid idea, but seems to work for Senn IE series and comply foam tips

    I have the Sennheiser IE6's and absolutely love them... However, one thing I missed was the fit and isolation of my e2c's. I have tried a few different tips and finally found that the Comply foamies are really comfortable and help with the isolation... The one drawback I perceived was the...

    Just got my Sennheiser IE6's! First impressions

    Well I just opened up my new IE6's and gave them a quick listen... I only have EP630's, and E2c's to really compare. Mostly I have used the E2c's though... Also, this is using a 2G ipod touch... Packaging: A little form over function in my opinion, took a while to get everything out and...

    Senn ie6, UE super.fi EB, or Beats Tour for Trance? All same price (within 20 bucks)

    After reading about almost jillion threads on here, I have come to the conclusion that (given my budget) I would be better off getting a dynamic set rather than BA's. I can get any of these for about the same price to replace my e2c's. But unfortunately can not try any before purchase. I have...

    N00b with E2c's and looking to upgrade

    Hey all, I have searched all over for about 2 weeks on this site and others... Without being able to literally try out most of these IEM's I have somewhat of a subjective question for anyone who is willing to help. I have had my E2c's for about 3 years or so, and I'm fairly happy with them...
