Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
I just picked up a new pair of these and wow they sound so much more normal and neutral compared to the Triple.Fi 10. The clarity and nearer to neutral sound is making me miss my now broken [Banned Company] 4A made by Wizard (full circle) back in the day.- riffola

The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread
I feel bad for starting the FR chart mess by scanning mine. I am a newbie, so shoot me. Oops! :) Having had my 4.A for a while now, I've got to say that they're fantastic. The Fit: The fit is great but the isolation isn't as good as the ACS custom silicone tips and the isolation...- riffola

Quote: I did wonder about that chart looking a bit off, but once again I am new to this. So I just have to start listening more closely to see if I can spot the weirdness too. I'll perform the multi tone test as recommended above.- riffola

Since Polmandres has the Heir Audio 4.A too, i think it's best if I add my impressions/utter newbie review here. I ordered the Heir Audio 4.A on January 1st. They received my impressions on January 9th. I received the 4.A on February 2nd. Part of the delay was thanks to the Chinese New...- riffola

Talk me out of ADDIEMs
Having used ADDIEM, Etymotics HF3 and NuForce NE7-M (or something like that), I have to say that the microphone on the ADDIEM is hands down the best I've used. The sound quality is very decent and you can take it to the Apple Store when it stops working and get it swapped out for a brand new...- riffola

The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread
I am now a Heir Audio customer. I just placed an order for the 4.A, base model. No options. I had to stretch my budget to make the purchase work. I figure the neutral sound profile is worth the money over getting a Woodie 3.A or a carbon fiber 3.A. As a first time CIEM'er, I have...- riffola

Custom eartips for TF 10 in NYC
Quote: Honestly you're better off spending the money you'd spend on custom tips for the TF10 and getting them reshelled. Look around the forum, there are a few people looking to get the TF10 reshelled, email them/PM them to get a better idea of what's going on. ACS USA 1 516...- riffola

Custom eartips for TF 10 in NYC
I got my most recent impressions done from Dominick Servedio, very nice Dr. Highly recommended. As for custom tips, I am not sure who they'll recommend. When I got my Etymotic HF3 custom tips, I went to a place on the Upper East Side, where they accepted the impression coupon & sent my...- riffola

Custom IEM (cable) for iPhone w/mic & volume control
The mic & remote are equally important. The jail breaking solution might work for some, but it's not for me. I think I am better off just sticking with Universal IEMs that come with a 3-button remote + mic until the CIEM market catches with up the needs of their customers.- riffola

Custom IEM (cable) for iPhone w/mic & volume control

Custom IEM (cable) for iPhone w/mic & volume control
Hi, So I've been trying to figure this problem out for days now and with no solution in sight, I figure I'll try and ask the community here and see if you guys can offer any good solutions. As much as I love the idea of listening to amazing music with amazing clarity, I can't carry...- riffola

UE Triple.Fi 10 goes Custom
Even if there is no official group buy, we can at least share our experiences of getting TF10 customs here. I am getting my impressions done on Thu, found an UE recommended audiologist in Manhattan who does it for $50! Looking forward to that. I think my ACS custom tip impressions for Ety...- riffola

IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING
I want in on the off-site group buy or on-site, either way, I am in. Also AVOID the Sears Rego Park, NYC, NY, Miracle Ear Hearing Center, the doctor has no clue what he's doing and wanted to charge me $90 per ear for impressions! I told him I didn't want a mold, just impressions, he says...- riffola

Shure CBL-M+-K-EFS Music Phone Adapter Cable with Remote Plus Mic
Via Shure Is it possible to use this cable with Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10? Can I request a resheller such as Fischer to make the ports compatible with this Shure cable? I use the mic & volume controls a lot on my iPhone and not having them makes the UE TF10s not worth keeping. I have the...- riffola

UE Triple.Fi 10 goes Custom
I went to Audio Help Hearing Center, which was recommended by Etymotics for their ACS custom tips program. I paid using the voucher from Etymotics, so I honestly don't know how much they'll charge for a proper set of impressions. They were good but I think they'll be expensive in the long run...- riffola

UE Triple.Fi 10 goes Custom
I think I'd rather visit an audiologist here in NYC and get it done properly. I had great results when I got my impressions done for Etymotics HF2s ACS tips. They came out really well, not as long as I hoped but great fit. Of course that was silicone so it's easier to get a good fit. I...- riffola

UE Triple.Fi 10 goes Custom
While I wait for my Triple.Fi 10s to arrive, I am wondering which of the many custom makers is the best option out there. We have Unique Melody, Fischer Audio, and 1964 Ears. The first two are economical, the last one is $200. Which of these is the best bang for the buck? Also...- riffola
