    Suggestions for Triple.fi repair??

    I hadn't thought about reshelling them - that's an idea worth considering. It really sucks that Logitech won't put the effort into providing any real level of service. I don't expect a free repair, just a part or paid repair would be great. I can even get anyone to answer the question of whether...

    Suggestions for Triple.fi repair??

    I posted a wanted ad in the FS section earlier, but hope someone in here may have an idea, as well. I've got a pair of UE Triple.fi that I love dearly. A few weeks ago, the housing on the left side separated at the glued seam. My initial plan was to get a good quality 3M gasket material and...

    TF10 alternatives??

    Curious to know if this issue started before or after UE was bought by Logitech? I've had a pair of TF10s for about two years with no problems. Then again, I got a pair with a "prototype" with an iPhone compatible cable.

    What's next after Triple Fi ?

    The Complies make a big difference. Not sure if they're officially available yet, but trust me - they ARE an improvement if you have difficult to fit ears (like me). And for the record - you won't get better sound out of any iem (or anything else for that matter) with your current source...

    best mobile phone for SQ?

    Just curious - how many of you who have bashed the iPhone's sq actually own one? I've been listening to one since a week after "iDay" last year, and while it's not the single best audio player I've ever heard, it sounds better than any other audio capable phone I've ever had (several Palm...

    Awesome Mod: Use Shure Black Olive Foamies on Ultimate Ears Super.fi and/or Triple.fi

    So, after actually getting a set of the shure "olives", before trying my boiling water technique, I simply tried forcing them on. I used saliva (we were traveling, so my resources were limited!), and it took some persistence, but I DID get them on all the way. This is on a pair of super.fis.

    The NEW UE Superfi 4vi for the iPod and iPhone

    Well, I got the supers (4vi), and with the right fit, I find the sound pretty well balanced - especially for a product in this price range. After trying all the earpieces, I find these particularly sensitive to the fitting process. With these, the best sound (and coincidentally, comfort) is with...

    Quote: Originally Posted by soundfreq what about the foam part, wouldn't it also be affected by the hot water? would it still retain its "foaminess" after taking a hot bath? I really can't imagine 20-30 seconds in 200F water would be too devastating to the foam material. I...

    iphone sound quality

    I've had my iPhone 8GB since July, and I love it! IMO, the sound quality is as important as the convenience of having a converged device - and the quality is THAT good. As far as the headphone jack, most male jacks can be trimmed down easily to fit. The exceptions (that I'm aware of) are...

    32GB touch and 16GB iphone

    I just read an Apple Insider blurb that the ATT CEO stated the iPhone V2 could be here by late May/early June. I guess my recently mangled 8GB will have to stay in my pocket a few more months. As far as sound quality, I have never had a complaint about the iPod function in my iPhone. Granted...

    The NEW UE Superfi 4vi for the iPod and iPhone

    Here's another question to peeps who have tried the super.fi 4vi. It IS a $100-$130 iem, but it's being compared here to some much more heady company. I have a set of the merto.fi plugs for the iPhone, and they sound better than anything I've heard in the $100-$150 range, and they can be picked...

    Awesome Mod: Use Shure Black Olive Foamies on Ultimate Ears Super.fi and/or Triple.fi

    ok, this seems like a solution that no one has tried. In working with fitting small plastic parts together like this in other projects, I find that a pot of hot (even boiling) water works WONDERS. Drop these puppies in there for 20-30 seconds and the plastic tube inside should be soft and...

    32GB touch and 16GB iphone

    I was planning to wait a few months before deciding on the larger cap iPhone (I have an 8GB), but I dropped it about 8 feet today onto pavement and it hit the corner where the sound switch and volume rocker are. I had to take a box cutter and trim away some of the metal around the rocker to...
