New impressions, unless you want to try something out of the ordinary like Mrtomlinson's spraying of an extra acrylic layer to make it just a bit larger. I think for that you gotta go and communicate with them yourself. Your free refit period is for 60 days after receiving your customs.

Well, it's been a month with the TF18s. I've concluded that it's definitely not how I'm putting in my customs, the left ear remains perfect while the right ear still leaks in some sound and has weak bass response. I went down to have a chat with my local dealer (Stereo Electronics) about the...

I went down to Jaben's and had some time with the JH13 universals and the TF10 to compare with my TF18. The TF18 is inferior to the JH13, the JH13 is a bit smoother across the entire spectrum and has slightly better and louder bass than the TF18. Interestingly, the TF10s have deeper and...

All early blues music.

Hey guys, got my TF18s recently. No pictures yet, they sound really great seeing as that I'm coming from an overly bright UE700 that I've been using for the past month. Quick impressions, from what I remember, the bass is more evenly textured and the midrange is more forward than the TF10s. The...

+1 about the Muddy Waters recordings. No equipment on earth can salvage that kind of quality, but the **** quality of it kind of speaks about the times and the story behind the music he played, in my opinion.

What. To my knowledge, no, the shorter the better as there's less deterioration of the signal. For most normal cable lengths, there shouldn't be an audible difference. I guess if you extended a headphone cable 500 feet you might get some serious signal deterioration but other than that, I think...

My input on this whole altercation... I do agree with dfkt on both counts - the MTPGs are unnecessarily flashy, loud and altogether unappealing, and that while I have no reservations about the quality of their cables, I don't have reservations about generic 25 dollar HDMI cables either. 'rip-off...

To be honest, I'm not sure how IEM sensitivity ratings are measured. For speakers, I understand it's the SPL at 1m on the axis of speaker projection, with 1W of power input. What's the standard measurement for IEMs? Is there even a standard? If there is a standard, then I don't understand...

Yeah, that 'someone' is the person right above you lol

d.g has it right, the frequencies under 80Hz (not an exact point, just a rough estimate) are non-directional so forward-firing or down-firing shouldn't make much of a difference. However, the brands you mention seem to be PC speakers, so the 'subwoofer' may be playing a lot of mid and upper bass...

Discounting the JH universals, UE TF10 > UM3X > Westone 3 = Shure SE530 > UE700 > q-JAYS > hippo shrooms > UE super.fi 5 EB > super.fi 5

Went a week ago, they don't even have the JH13 universals anymore, it's loaned out to Jaben Malaysia, let alone the JH16 universals. But the JH11 universals blew my mind, so you could do a comparison with that to start off with.

Unfortunately, the Audioengines are neither 2.1, 5.1 or under $150. If you're using it to play games, look into getting one of the simple 2.1 Logitech or Altec Lansing sets, get the best available for your price. You could do a lot better for music, but not at $150. These sets will provide...

LOL ok well, good for you that your fit turned out to be OK, having to remold would be pretty bad. Everyone has different opinions on what 'bass heavy' is, so don't worry about that. Did you get a frequency chart with your TF18s? If you're really concerned if your sound signature is an anomaly...

The test audio track works universally. It could be that the outer part of the custom is sealing well, leading to the isolation, but the sound tube isn't sealing as well which could lead to the worsened bass response. Or it could just be the frequency response of the TF18. Can't really say...

Yep, I'm really happy with my UE700s too.. sound signature's a bit brighter than my TF10 (off to become TF18s), but loving the surprising amount of detail and clarity from such small monitors. I didn't quite take the W3, found the soundstaging and instrument separation far inferior to the...

Godnec, does your TF18 still sound as bad? Also, MaoDi, do you have any opinions as to why he has such a bad experience with the TF18 and the Zune? Is it a bad production of the TF18, really a synergy problem with the Zune or is he just not a fan of the tf18 sound sig. I was getting pretty...

He said his Zune worked well with his TF10, so it probably works fine with multiple-driver IEMs. I'm hoping it's the burn-in. The consensus is that yeah, only the crossovers should need burning in (if they do at all). Once again, I'm skeptical :/ When I got my TF10s back from RMA after a...
