Just installed a set of Liberators on my 325i's and I must say I'm impressed. I was beginning to think the 325i's weren't for me, but the Liberators have really made a difference. Using the standard bowls, the sound is pretty much still in your face, but with some extra breathing room. Think of...

I, like Trogdor, have been listening to both. I've had the E500s for a few months now and the Triple.fi's for only a few hours. I agree that the TFs sound more balanced with not one area of the sound spectrum receiving more or less attention. They sound great and, at this early stage, to my...

Welcome to HeadFi, and since no one else has said it, sorry about your wallet.

Quote: Originally Posted by Trogdor "Dark" ain't a bad word though it tends to be negative. You are on the money that the TFs "surround you in a blanket of music." No doubt, that is definitely the defining charasteric compared to the E500's. The SF5P are not even the league of the...

Quote: Originally Posted by Trogdor Yeah, I tried it through an iPod and my Apogee - the bass is different. I suspect a high quality amp like the Hornet is going to play a significant role. BUT the sound is really bigger than the E500's for sure. I think that's due to the overall...

Quote: Originally Posted by Trogdor oldspice, I interpret the BIG feeling to overall more tonal balance compared to the E500's which are too bassy in my eyes. Add the fuzzy mids and you get a more in your face upfront presentation. TF's definitely have a bigger soundstage than the...

Quote: Originally Posted by milkpowder Yay! Congrats! Does it sound 'neutral'? It looks like you have a large collection of IEMs, I'm expecting a massive no-holds-barred shoot-out sometime in the future! That's a good question. It seems that not one area receives any special...

Pretty nice so far. I'm auditioning them as I type this. I'll have some better impressions after a few hours. But so far, so good. Very even presentation with a very full sound. The new roadie case is a pretty nice addition as well. Again, kudos to UE for getting these out as soon as...

Hey, I just got an email from EarPhoneSolutions.com with my Triple.fi tracking number! Mine should be here tomorrow!!! Can't wait and kudos to UE for getting these out sooner than expected!!!

I don't believe Shure has an earphone named the m5. There's the E5c's and E500's. Not sure (no pun intended) about an m5.

Not to totally rain on your parade or anything, but the 650s are opened headphones and sound "leaks" quite a bit from them, especially at louder volumes. Perhaps you should look into a pair of sealed phones for gaming - that way your significant other will be able to sleep even more soundly!

Hey DarkWolf, I'm glad to hear that you're digging your 325i's. You and I were sort of fighting over a pair last week in the For Sale forum (I snagged a pair before you had a chance to check the forum during your lunch break) At any rate, I'm really liking mine too (also just received mine...

I've purchased more than a few sets of IEMs from Falvio at EarPhoneSolutions and cables and such from Headroom. Both are great to buy from and their support and communication before, during, and after the sale are outstanding.

Or any cable upgrade, for that matter. I'm curious and feeling upgradeitus again. Anyone made the upgrade on their 580's? Any major improvement? Would it be better to save the $185.00 - $235.00, sell the 580's and upgrade to the 650 with stock cables???

Quote: Originally Posted by JLai IMO, the super.fi's crush the e2's in every respect. The two IEMs aren't even on the same playing field. The super.fi's have much tighter bass and great overall sound. The e2s are all right as an entry level IEM, but the super.fi's are way more...

A recent track I've been using to audition cans is "The Collector" by Nine Inch Nails, off their With Teeth record (the latest). It starts off with some pretty serious and tight kick and snare. Really tests your cans (and it's a mighty good song to boot)!
