Loving both the F111 and TG334... with one (two) caveat(s)... the damn cables, both (001 and 006) are microphonic as frak... once my wallet recovers... i'll be on the lookout... in the meanwhile, any quasi-sanely priced (under $300) alternatives? I'm thinking of the Orb clearforce but if you know of others please let me know!

Welcome to the family! It's a keeper that TG334. I thought I could save some money by selling mine after I got the MH334 but there is this unique magic sauce in the TG334 that wasn't present in the MH334. Bought one back the first chance I got and never looked back. Despite the similarities, they are different enough to warrant keeping both.


I lack the commitment/patience for CIEMs lol, but i am planning to grab the Parterre to round up my To Go line, i use F111 and TG334 for different genres, alongside my Andro and sony ex1000, i think this covers all the genres i listen to (famous last words lol)

parterre and fitear fitear are odd ducks imho, both rather specialised in their capabilities, with audible idiosyncrasies that's you either love or dislike. (not a fan of fitear fitear's voicing.)

Looks like you will soon have the complete FitEar universal line up in your stable. To be honest, I only went the customs route after I bought the TG334 because I liked the sound from the TG334 so much. My rational then was that it should sound even better with the superior isolation and fit the MH334 offers. While the superior isolation and fit parts are true (comfort is godlike), I cannot say the same for the sound. Make no mistake, the MH334 is excellent in every way but as I said before, there is that special something which is missing from it that the TG334 has. Many have said it is the titanium tubing in the TG334 that is responsible for the difference. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't but I know one thing for sure, the TG334 sounds unique enough for me to want to keep it alongside the MH334

@AnakChan
 
as you are the fount of fitear knowledge,  I was wondering if you could confirm that Fitear refuses to make universal (demo) fit variants of their CIEMs, I was told that by their local (HK) resellers and was wondering if its just the Hong Kong "can't be arsed to ask" mentality.
 
thanks in advance

Certain models, they do have universals of the CIEM version (although possibly not a direct copy). e.g. MH334 vs TG!334, Air vs TE100 (yes I know this sold under Fostex).
 
As for other CIEMs the official answer is "No they don't". Can't say for sure about unofficial answer.

speaking of the TE100s, i preferred the Air over it, according to the guy at our local jaben, Fitear provided fostex with 5 tunings one being close to Air and with progressively less treble, fostex picked the darkest one ...

To be frank, the Air nor the TE100 was my taste. Then I heard the Titan (CIEM) which is also FitEar's BA with Fostex DD but in a titanium 3D printed shell. I fell in love with it - sadly, Fitear made it only for the Fujiya Oct Festival for that weekend. No further orders accepted.

Hi everyone, i wanna ask, what dap or dac or amp that suites perfectly with fitear tg334. Thx

 
I'm pairing my TG334 with Sony WM1A balanced and there's some wonderful synergy there. Not bad straight out of my AK70 too..........actually I think the TG334 is not THAT source dependent among TOTL iems.
