    Shure SE530 or Triple.fi 10 pro?

    I have owned both and I preferred the sound of the triple.fi to the e500 but ultimately the fit issues of the triple.fi were insurmountable. I have tried every single insertion method, and tip available, but fit always remained an issue. SQ is somewhat meaningless if I have to push in the...

    Quote: Originally Posted by Night Surfer Any hiss/white noise? There is some white noise with the e500 and less with the etys. It is only audible during quiet passages but it doesn't distract from the listening experience IMO. When I use my U.E. attenuator the background is...

    Best DAP's for Ampless Use?

    I just received my Kenwood a couple of days ago and I am still amazed by the sound it is capable of producing. The iPod is not even remotely close in SQ. Best $400 I have ever spent.

    argh... i lost my triple fi.

    You're not alone. I left my triple.fi on the subway a couple of months ago, never to be seen again. I have since purchased a pair of e500s and er4ps. I might some day replace the triple.fi, I just can't justify doing it as of this moment. BTW I lost my iPod about a week ago , so maybe I...

    U.E. Triple.fi NIGHTMARE

    There was no documentation or invoice included in the box (so I don't know what number it was or supposed to be), it all seems very askew to me. I seriously believe UPS dropped the ball big time on this, I doubt Amazon would send me the case with no headphones. They already charged my CC but...

    U.E. Triple.fi NIGHTMARE

    I ordered a pair of Triple.fis on Saturday on Amazon.com and it was supposed to arrive today by UPS. After opening the package to my shock and horror I see damage to the package and NO earphones. I ordered the limited edition version so it came with the roadie case but there was no smaller case...

    when you guys say apple lossless, is the bitrate 1411?

    Apple lossless (ALAC) has a variable bit rate depending on the song. It can range from ~600kbps to over 1000.

    Do you wear your headphones in the shower?

    Of course I just have to cram my E5s REALLY deep.

    Who CAN'T stand canalphones?

    I would say I find IEMs pretty comfortable just not for extremely extended listening (<4 hours or so). The short term comfort with my e5c are fine with all of the tips (including the tri-flanges) but the comfort starts to decrease with time and by 5-6 hours or so I have to take them out...

    Amazon.co.uk - EX71 replacement - My Story

    Thats great, Sony can learn a thing or two from Amazon. It's a shame that it took so long to adress the issue in the first place. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more issues with "wet toliet paper" wires.

    Wanted to sell my UM2's until...

    I find there to be significant differences between some tips especially the clear flex and the tri-flanges. The tri-flanges have the best isolation and the best bass but they roll-off the highs while the clear flex brings back those highs at the sacrifice of some bass and isolation. I'm...

    What do you like you your ears?

    Clear flex and tri-flanges I still can't make up my mind. Probably clear flex a little more often.

    Shure E4 + triple flange sleeves

    The triple flanges must first be cut down to even become useful. After doing that they still will be slightly uncomfortable but YMMV. I find that the triple flanges roll off the treble and increase the bass respone in comparison to the other sleeves. The isolation on the triple flanges is by far...

    Shure's memory wire - love it or hate it???

    KEEP 'EM! As for clipping them off I would strongly advise against doing that. I remember a poor soul doing that before and he ended up snapping the wire where it connects to the driver. The memory wire is supposed to strengthen that connection. In any case I pretty sure snipping off the...

    lush, bassy, warm, musical and fun IEMs...

    I'll go ahead and throw my .02 in for the E5c, If you are looking for musicality (not sure if thats a word) in an IEM than the shures just might be your best bet. PM me if you would like more details.
