visited there today - it was truly nice.   as a developing audiophile, it was nice to be able to try out all of the big-name IEMs and headphones. ended up buying a westone 2 but i tried out all four from the series, the UM series, all shure SE models, a lot of UE products and atomic floyd...

wooohoo going there today

just fyi, soundcat no longer does impressions unless you buy something from them.

ahh thanks.   i'm getting my triplefi reshelled (maybe an additional mid driver too) and i wanted to make sure.

i understand that "burning in" is a myth and that even if it is true (which i believe) it is more relevant with dynamic drivers.   but why are people talking about how a lot of custom iems sound like crap at first but get better within 200 hours? they're the same balance armature as a...

ah yes just what i was looking for :) so i can just walk in and do impressions without ordering customs from them right? cuz i wanna get my triplefi reshelled and im sure soundcat doesn't do reshells.   anyways thanks guys

ooohhhh it is haha well how about tf10 reshell vs ue 4?

what do you mean by one-sided? only once ear? lol i clearly haven't done my reserach.. 

Quote: oh yeah, the hf5 is also fantastic. insane amount of isolation

the tf10 has a pretty awesome sound sig. depending on what you listen to. but it's uncomfortable for most people so you shouldn't buy it unless you have the chance to try it on yourself.

I was thinking of reshelling my TF10 but I figured that I could also buy the cheapest UE customs. How do they sound compared to the TF10? Better? Worse?

take a look at the shure se215 and the westone um1 (a bit old, but really comfy and nice)   both are good iems and are around 100 bucks

It might be helpful to note that I live in South Korea. Not the most convenient place for custom IEMs or reshells.

I am planning to reshell my TF10s. Is Unique Melody good at reshelling?   Alright anyways can someone guide me through the process of reshelling my TF10? This is what I believe it is:   - Get ear impressions - Fill out an order form on UM's website - Ship the impressions to some...

the stock cables are pretty bad lol.   they look cheap, aren't flexible, and have this really weird memory thing going on near the connector i'd recommend buying 3rd party cables

I've grown tired of the cables on my TF10s. I want new cables that cost... $50?   So far, I've looked at the Westone EPIC cables. I love the way they are, except I heard that they don't fit PERFECTLY and that once you use these once, you will never be able to go back to older cables...

i heard that these cables don't PERFECTLY line up with the tf10 sockets so you have to try really hard. and that once you use these, you can't go back to older tf10 stock cables because the tf10 socket becomes too loose   can anyone verify this?

Quote:   westone 2 sounds better than triplefi and westone 3? i own triplefis but im wondering if the westone 2 will be really that great.   how would you compare triplefi and westone 2? and what about the westone 3 isn't as good as the westone 2?   thanks

Yes, I do realize that mixing is done best with true studio monitors or reference headphones, but I'm just wondering what the best IEM for mixing would be. Please note that although they need to be good for mixing and need to be very well balanced (with no frequencies recessed), I'd want them to...

My little sister isn't much of an audiophile. She uses cheap in-ears all the time so I figured I'd get her basic sub-$100 IEMs. What would you guys recommend?   BA driver(s) preferred - she is not too crazy for bass. She is not an audiophile and knows nothing about soundstage, etc. and...
