Owned the triple fi for a year, and I recently lost them. I was so pissed I was out of the head-fi community for a while but not I really can't stand average 10 dollar earphones anymore, I'm back to head-fi now :)   My first thought was to get an upgrade from TF10. I have done my research...

I don't think any iem under $200 is better than TF10 sound quality wise. I mean it; the triple-fi's are not in the same league with the ones you suggested. TF10's are usually compared with the IEM flagships such as ie8, SE535, westone 4 etc. The negatives that turn down the value of the TF10s...

Tyll and Innerfidelity said this was a great bass-head can. Now, as much as I lovveeeeeeeeee electronic music and its bass, if there is too much bass, that is the only genre I can truly enjoy; other genres such as jazz, ballad, classical becomes trash. I thought I liked a lot of bass, but I...

I currently own the TF10 and got them around 170$. I think they are the best IEM in the world simply because of the price efficiency. However, the UE900 looks really nice because of the appearance and fit. (Soundwise, I heard they`re not to the extent where they just murder the TF10s) Problem is...

Hi, I'm a newbie in the head-fi community, but I did have some experience with good universal IEM's such as the UE Triple Fi 10. Currently, these guys have gone into repairing, and I'm planning to use them for at least one more year. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the new flagship IEM's that are...

  Quote: You own the hd598's too? I love the treble and vocals they are soooooooooo soothing and according to your definition of sibilance, I think there's no sibilance and the highs are so warm and soothing. I really ain't that "bass" group. How would HE-500 do with treble? Do you...

  Quote:  But aren't the SQ's of each custom different? I heard they were really cold and analytical

I got pretty good headphones IMO for my cellphone, TF10 and HD598, and I also got a decent amp. However, I don't think the source from the cellphone is maximizing the headphones' ability. Even though I download from sites where it's 320(kbs?I forgot) I think the phone itself isn't a good source...

Hi guys. First of all, I'm a newbie, and I noticed by making this  thread, i noticed earphones and IEM's are different things. What's the difference?     Anyway, to the main question. As a earphone, headphone newbie, the hd650 and tf10 were kings in each field. After I bought the tf10, i...

I have the HD598's and the TF10s. When I listen at home, I use the sennheisers. When outside, I use the Triple Fi's. However, I am having some sound problems. When I use one repetetively for a few days. I can feel the sound getting better. However, for example, if i use the TF at the day and...

I love V-moda's LP colors and I want the SQ of m-80's at the same time. Im sure m-100 will have the SQ. Will they have the same colors like the LP2 such as phantom chrome or nero? And could you even vary the color types even more?  

  Quote: I did! Not in depth I'm gonna see it again but I have a simple question. What's sibilance? Isn't it that disturbing sound when the treble's too high? Yeah my headphones definitely need to be sibilance-proof up to a pretty high volume. If HD700 has a bit of sibilance, I'll have to...

Quote:  So in a way for amateurs bass is LCD2>HD700>HD800 That's good to know. How about treble wise? Between LCD2 and HD700?

  Quote:   I really thought about getting the HE-500; they're only $700 and reviews said that were outstanding for their price. The only problem is I heard they need the right amping to pull out their full potential. Is that right? Cause I can't buy another expensive amp :(  

Thanks for the recommendation! Just one question.... I heard the HD800 has a really light bass. Would hd700 be similar? I heard LCD2's bass are groundbreaking.   Quote:  

  Quote:  I'm not saying I have $1000, I'm just saying that's the price I think I can accumulate throughout a year. Only have 100 bucks right now :p

  Ughh.... I feel so sorry that I even said that I want to upgrade these phones. The design of these is really special, adding that unconscious warmness to the sound.  I even have a $500 dollar amp to boost it, but I'm not really finding that much of a benefit from the amp. Anyways, I'm...

If the m-100 unamped sounds worse than the m-80, I'm pretty sure many mainstream people won't like it because ... I mean they're portable headphones? I mean sure audiophiles to some extent take portable amps with them but most people like v-moda because of the portability... i hope it at least...

Quote: could you give examples of higher end IEM's than TF10? I bought the  TF10 because of it's price quality, I don't think I could get a higher quaulity IEM at 160 bucks. Other competitors like the IE8, westone4, shure535 are a bit too expensive. That's why I like the V-Moda as well; I...

I started to use headphones that were emphasized to be used at home outside of my house and I have learned my lesson. They broke before I could even enjoy them. So I do have to find some decent portable phones, and i'm considering between headphones and earphones. I'm currently using the TF10...

  Quote: I'm using a really old one called "Anam" i'm not sure if a old AMP sucks than the new ones these days. I don't even know that I could upgrade my phones.    

Quote: I really don't get the my 500 being same as the e10. What do you mean getting harder to drive headphones? Could you explain in easier terms? Sorry :( I'm really new to this headphone world.    

I'm using a  500dollar amp for my hd598 right now, and the difference between unamped and amped was quite satisfying for me; it sounded much more lively and dynamic. However, I heard that the 598 isn't that amp hungry. On a scale to 1 to 10 and if the hd598's or a 1, how amp-hungry are other...
