Hey all... Well, I've lurked here for, well, years actually very off and on. Just got a ridiculously great deal on a pair of barely used triple.fis and have to pose a question here. I've listened to a few other higher end sets of IEMs but was always ridiculously happy with my Super.fi 5 Pros...

My 3rd set of cords for my triplefi10's just broke and I discovered that replacements run close to $70 now. I bought the FiiO cable and really do not like them at all. They are gigantic and weigh down the buds and make them come unsealed very frequently.   I think I would like to try a new...

Ok So Ive had the Superfi 5 Pros essentially since they came out and to this day I havent found a better Overall sounding headphone. Thats almost 10years I believe which is crazy. Ive tried Monster Turbine Coppers, The Westone4, The UE triple fi and sorry But No..Overall the Super fis are the...

One of the benefits of headphones is the ability to produce a sufficient acoustic pressure on the full spectrum with ONE driver. If you start with multi drivers speakers (I’m talking about different drivers for different frequencies), you will have phase and time issues between the different...

Is the interaction of quality headphones/iems and the human body kind of like drugs, in that our body quickly develops a tolerance to it, and it keeps taking more and more to give us that "high?" Anyone else had the experience that: you used to feel so great listening to your low-end...

Starting of a poll to generally determine if this is a universal problem and what percentage of westone 3 owners actually have sibilance issues to an otherwise great IEM. Vote only if you're a westone 3 owner (or ex) to keep this poll as accurate as it can be.

Okay so I usually just lurk here but I decided to go ahead and make an account and ask. I don't have much experience in the headphone world but I do consider myself to be very picky about how my music sounds. I'm big on my home theater setup but I've just really never had a set of good IEM's...

(Flip Flop), attached the removeable "left" wire to the "right" driver, and vice versa for the other one. There's a "tiny" bump at the end of the wire and the driver unit, make sure they line up with each other to avoid out of phase sound, wear them like the pictures show. Advantages: flat...

Hello,   I'm currently in the market for some new IEM's because my Westone UM2s cable broke just recently and now I'm looking for some recommendations   What I prefer:   - very good isolation - good fit, I liked the UM2 a lot, I've just the super.fi 5 pro as reference and those were...

[See the end for an update on 8/2/08] PROLOGUE: The other day I was re-listening to the Super.fi 5 pro that I originally got for my daughter, which she had traded back to me for my JVC FX66 Air Cushions. The Super.fi sounded much worse than I remembered from the last time I listened. I...

I have combed through the past 5+years of Head-fi posts and have found some great suggestions, of course that leads to more questions. I went to the closest Guitar Center to try out a few phones and wanted to elicit opinions and what might be the best option for me since some of the headphones...

Hello all! My UE Super.Fi 5 have a pretty much dead connection to one of the buds, traced to the cable literally at or just before the jack. They've long been replaced by a pair of Triple.Fi 10, but for sentimental reasons and because I love fiddling I'm looking to fix them anyway.   Now...

Hey all, my girlfriend has recently asked me to help her pick a new pair of headphones for use with her iPod nano. In the past, she has had nothing but the stock Apple Earbuds, which obviously leave much to be desired. She's finally let me convince her to use something better.  *EDIT* I...

I've got two IEMs I need some simple work on, I would like to try the repairs myself but I don't have the time or tools (I'm on a deployment in Afghanistan).  If anyone can help me with these I can pay with paypal or dwolla.   1)  Altec Lansing inMotion iM716 The first set of buds works...

Evening everyone!   I've been using a pair of budget UE MetroFi 220s that I have been very happy with - they have been durable, I like their sound signature and they fit and isolate well. I've wanted to jump up just a little bit and considered staying with Ultimate Ears, perhaps a pair of...

I can't find many reviews on the 500vi and 600vi.  Is anyone using either of these?  I'm guessing the 600vi is supposed to have better audio because of the top-fire armature?  And presumably the 500vi doesn't stick out from your ears as much and might have a better cord?

Hello all, I have only posted a couple of times on here after first coming across the site when I was looking to upgrade from my Denon AH-C551 earphones which replaced my stock Apple buds.   After looking at a multitude of reviews I eventually went for a set of Superfi 5 Pros, and as the...

I keep seeing these "Deal Alert" threads popping up frequently, so I reckon we're due for a single thread for them.      Here's what you should post:   The model and price. The link! LOCATION! For example, if you're in the EU and it's an EU store, make sure you say this, as people will...

Hey guys   As you all know I am in search some some major,earth-shaking IEMs. I have read some erally good things about the SuperFi 5 EB, but I realized that they are not being made anymore.   After doing some searching on Amazon, I found out that they are still on sale for about $100...

http://www.westone.com/catalog/elite-series-monitor-replacement-cables I did search the forum but reading different things which confused me, some claim that just have to trim a little, some claim should purchase from some web sites. My superfi 5 pro and triplefi 10 pro have been using mod...

I have had ue super fi 5 pro's for years and love them. I just recently got a pair of ue18's and it seems like something is missing. They are a very comfortable fit but the sound just isn't as "fun" as my super fi 5's. I started re-ripping my music into FLAC and have noticed an improvement, but...

Hey guys I am in a bit of a dilemma, I bought a pair of RE0s and a pair of Super Fi5s and received them both just now, the Re0s were used, albeit 3 weeks old, and the Super Fi5s are brand new in box. I love the sound of the re0s and will be using this as my primary headphone. My problem now...
