After drifting between a few lower end produts for a couple of years since I left my beloved TF10s in the seat pocket on a plane, I finally managed to score a good deal on these ($200 and change from Logitech for a dented box, except it looked perfect when I received it).   The fit is killing...

Tragically, I left behind my Triplefi 10s on a plane, never to be seen again. While I loved them very much, the 'financial' hit wasn't as bad seeing as I got in on one of them awesome BF deals a couple of years back at the princely sum of $99. That being said though, I'm in the market for...

Any particular reason why not to go with the original iPod ones? They're pretty cool-looking too. Although the sound is strictly mediocre.

Just modded my pair, took all of two minutes. Seal seems better, but still not as good as my right ear, which is a really really good fit. But what I like about it is that it doesn't stick out nearly as much as it used to, which means I can lie down with my head on my side wearing these now...

I just tried the mod, because I couldn't get a decent seal with one ear, and it seems to work so far. But what I REALLY LIKE about this is that they don't stick out as much as they used to! Yay for that.

Oh yeah. Getting anything worth more than $20 shipped from the US (especially new) is either a (i) nightmare or (ii) a big hole in your pocket or both.

But then, e2 >>> s.fi 5 pro in terms of price

Just picked up super.fi 5 pro, having some problems getting a good seal. Strange thing is, the medium sized tip (the default one that comes on the monitor) is just perfect for my right ear. I get a very good seal. But for my left ear, none of the tips or the bi-flange or even the foam seems to...

Since the white noise goes away with the level attenuator, it's probrably a source problem and not a problem with the superfi's themselves.

there's a pretty big jump between the canalphones (cx300) and the entry level IEMs though, in terms of isolation. I'm very picky about hearing everything else around me and I didn't really like the isolation of canalphones.
