I wouldn't call myself the best critic of sound, but I feel that the increase in comfort using the comply tips far outweighs the unremarkable detriment to sound I experience using them.   I definitely couldn't vouch for the Tsx series comply tips though. They are intended to be the 'comfort'...

Well, I just lost my Ipod Nano 5th Gen 8gb whilst at the gym, and nobody has returned it; so I guess I'm on the hunt for a new DAP. That little thing served me well for years.   What I am looking for is something that has over 8gb of storage, prefereably flash as I enjoy exercising with...

Quote:   Ah I've already noticed that. When plugged intot he front audio jacks of my PC, I get insane amounts of feedback or static. With the Ipod I don't get it, but with my PC it's even at very low volumes. I may just need to invest in a decent sound card for my PC. Currently using the...

Quote:   Ah, I had a similar issue, but wow, a day or two is a long time to mess your ears up simply from removing tips! I could imagine the pain you'd encounter with triflanges. I must admit they did a better job at removing ear wax than they did provide a comfortable listening...

Quote:   Do you find you prefer the comply tips over the Silicones? With my UE 200's I found I had a far more comfortable and sustainable fit with comply's.

Quote:   Hmm, I might give the cutting a try if I get the time to, but if not I might just hand them over to someone who could benefit from them. I was looking at the ear gels, but it seems that once you go to foams, it's difficult to go back. I just love foam tips too much, ahah. As for...

Quote:   I'm essentially in the same boat. Although when I'm not using IEM's I'm using my speaker setup instead of headphones. I like the portability of IEM's. I couldn't imagine using a giant set of cans whilst out and about. For that reason, I haven't really bothered to get over-ear...

I can definitely see myself getting a good few years out of these, hoping they survive. It's amazing not even being able to hear myself type with no music playing.

Although they aren't my favourite; For that price range I quite enjoyed my UE 200's for about a year using comply tips. I picked mine up for 30 dollars. Even though they aren't absolutely stellar sound, you'd probably be happy with them for the price. I was. They are also pretty durable as well...

So the hf5's arrived today, and my first impressions were pretty varied.   First thing I did was attempt to get a good seal with the triflanges that came already fitted; bad idea. Whilst I did get a decent seal for a while, it was terrible comfort wise in my opinion. They even went as far as...

My Avatar is clearly to show people my artistic prowess. It is a portrait of me.   I must say I depicted my luscious locks of hair pretty well if I may say so myself.

Ah well that sounds promising, I'm glad to hear! I'm kind of hoping they will be reminiscent of the Energy ESM bookshelf speakers I have comparing them to the Bose sound dock the family uses in the kitchen. Both have clarity and I'll admit sound good in their own right; but Energy's have far...

Well, I've placed an amazon order for the Etymotic hf5's (new) for a grand total of 135 shipped priority to Australia. I like the idea of having a 2 year warranty, and it seems that they may just be what I'm looking for. If I'm not too happy with the bass, there is EQ for a reason. I'm confident...

I'm thinking of leaning more towards the Triple Fi's for now, Because I do like the idea of a replaceable cable. If there is a good deal on the hf5's though I'd be very inclined to pick them up.

I understand, and part of my questioning on here was research.   I'll give it a few days, see what kind of offers pop up. If not I may go for a refurb, and then I always have the oppotunity to sell them on if they do not suit me.    Thanks again for all your help guys, it's definitely...

Was thinking of posting a LF thread in the forums. What would be a respectable offer for a used pair of TF10's? I saw a few pictures of them in the over ear configuration, and figure that might help alleviate some fitting issues, if there are any. How do you guys wear them? Over ear or straight...

Quote: I hear things with the slight hum of tinnitus. =/

Quote:   Yes those were the refurb TF10's I found. I'm thinking of looking around the sale threads too, as I think I've seen one or two floating about.   It's good to hear I probably won't benefit from an amp to be honest, seems like an extra burden to carry with you whilst commuting...

Oh wow, That is a pretty bad design flaw... Maybe I should forget about them. Don't want to have to go through what happened with those monsters. Honestly never dealing with them again. I think I might go hunt down some Ety's and some Triple.Fi's. I guess I could always consult the for sale...

Oh wow, So this is getting somewhat confusing. At the moment I basically have a mental short list of:   *Etymotic hf5 (long warranty, affordable new; but possibly not a sound I'm looking for) *UE Triple.Fi 10 (Has replaceable cables and has good reviews for sound, but I'd need to purchase...

Come to think of it, the triple fi's are better in that they have replaceable cables, but I'm just a bit concerned that their body might be a bit too long, And my ears don't seem to be shaped in a way that would lend themselves to getting a proper seal on an IEM like that. I guess I would only...

Was just curious, what are your opinions on the Klipsch Image x10's? There are some around for around the same price as the hf5's, And I've heard good things about them when comparing with the triple fi.
