    What are head-fi members views on apt-x lossless codec (over bluetooth)?

    James, Thanks for the reviews. If you keep trying new headsets I hope you keep the updates coming. I decided to give the QCY QY3 a try based on your impressions and the super low price. I took a risk on a random seller (gearbest.com) so if I actually end up getting something that works in the...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    I had a request for a few more pictures of my reshells.  For colors I requested:   Faceplate color: Black (translucent) Shell Color: Purple (translucent) Tip Color: Purple (translucent) and then in special requests I wrote "Transition from Translucent Black to Translucent Purple"  ...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    I'm a noob myself but that sounds pretty loose.  When I first got mine and put them in my ears felt "stuffed".  I definitely don't feel any need to (or benefit from) pushing on them.  I also would be hesitant to put heat shrink on anything going that deep into my ear.   Quote:

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    Thanks AnakChan, I was relieved to see your comments about the tight feel and after about an hour they are already starting to feel a little bit better.  I'm really blown away by the sound on these right now.  I did a simple TF10 reshell.  I've been listening to TF10s for a few years now so I...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    And just like that I get a shipping notification this morning and then they arrived today.  I'm not sure what to think yet.  They sound fantastic but feel way too tight.  I guess I had better start digging through the forums to find out if that is normal.  If I open my mouth I can feel my ears...

    No, definitely haven't heard anything about mine yet.  I shipped from the US though so I bet the timing could be different than going through UMAus

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    Any word on how backed up they are right now?  I shipped a pair of TF10s their way for a remold back in mid January and imagine that they might be getting to mine soon.  Hard not to be excited.

    the Audiologists impressions thread (pun most definitely intended ;) )

    Quote: I went to Dr Glick for my impressions as well.  Great service.  The first time I went she said I had too much wax in my ears (oops) so I scheduled a back to back appointment to see an ENT upstairs to get that cleaned out then had my impressions done.  $20 copay for the ENT cleaning...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    Alright, I spent a few hours digging through the thread and I'm still confused.  My girlfriend and I both have TF10s.  We are looking at just simple reshelling (no additional drivers, I've been happy with TF10s sound) so...   1.  How much will this really cost?  What is the actual price of...

    Possible material for DIY custom sleeves

    metroidfox, if you are still looking for them the orange ones here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A28OW6/ref=oss_product are sold by amazon (while the blue ones are sold by someone else).  Maybe they just ran out of stock on the blue ones?

    Possible material for DIY custom sleeves

    I ordered a radians kit on amazon and am going to give this a shot with an old pair of UE superfi 5s.  I've always wanted pro made custom IEMs but have been nervous that I would spend all the money and then find out I don't like the way customs feel.  Can you say anything about how the fit of...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    So mad I missed the $99 deal... would have definitely bought a second pair. But for all of those out there with fit problems, I struggled with tips and finally settled on DIY foams. Basically I just do what is described in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/h...o-pics-383917/...

    How long will Comply Foam tips last?

    oh man, people are digging up my post with my old nasty complies? I must just have some unforgiving ears, complies die on me really fast. I have since switched to just making my own out of earplugs which works great. I would say I get the same sound quality an about 95% of the comfort. I've...

    REVIEW: ACS custom tips + SENNHEISER IE8

    so no discomfort when putting them in? For some reason I imagine that the snug fit would mean they are more likely to be painful to put in and take out... I suppose the only real way to know is place an order and find out

    Custom Tips - Questions

    Alright, I'm sold on the idea of getting custom tips for my UE triple.fi 10s, but there are a ton of places to order form and very few reviews out there. The options I've seen from digging back through threads are: ACS- Positive reviews but seems like a pain to order from the UK (I'm in NYC)...

    Recable for UE triple fi.10?

    Head-fi'er Kirby suggested a way to get a vi cable that should have been obvious to me before: ebay. You can hunt for user "mega.toyz" and score one for around $40 bucks. It costs more than deceiving UE but might make you feel better. Even better than that I'm having Germania make me an ass...

    Recabling for iphone, anyone else interested?

    You found an OEM vi cable on ebay? I guess I should have thought to look at ebay before I tried using the ibud cable. Although now that I see the sleek cable I realize I should have used that as a base cable instead of the ibud cable. I'll be sure to post about my experiences with the custom...

    the iPhone headset mod is basically what I did with my triple.fis, if you look up on the first page of this thread you can see the results... I am not a cable snob but to me it sounds like I am loosing out on sound quality using this mod was opposed to a proper custom cable. I haven't heard...

    Recabling for iphone, anyone else interested?

    Alright, I'm resurrecting this thread. Apologies to everyone who hates when that happens. I'm talking right now with the infamous Germania about her potentially making a proper cable with an iphone button and remote in it for use with UE or similar IEMs. Anyone else still interested in such a thing

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    I still wish someone would get around to making a cable with an iphone mic/remote. Once I started using that remote there was no going back, it is just way to convenient. But I can only imagine a properly made cable would be far better than this kluged together franken cable I built for myself
