The inline control requires another wire to be braided into the mix, it doesn't degrade sound quality though. It does require the use of a 4 pole (TRRS) mini plug instead of a regular mini plug so stuff like Oyaide mini plugs are out. There's also the issue of figuring out where to stick it and how to integrate it since typically an in line remote is molded onto your typical mass produced cable. Adding one isn't trivial, for sure.

Like I mentioned... most (if not all) universal IEM have an inline control OR at least have an option to get this cable... I just don't understand why it is not available for custom IEM's.... very hard to understand.

Lets not forget that it's a fifth wire, thickness is not always fun to deal with.
 
I get asked almost weekly if I can do one of these cables. Basically I wouldn't want to add an in-line mic unless I knew it was good quality and it wouldn't be a problem area later. The TRRS plugs are not fun to work with either.
 
Can't you guys just use bluetooth headsets haha

It is easier said than done. I've been able to do this but it is complicated for anyone to do with the addition of a fifth wire for the mic, as well as finding the right mic that would do justice to the cable.

Thanks for the review, Joe.
We will endeavour to keep on improving our cables.

If you can contact me whenever those cables come out I'll be sure to add it to the list linked to in my signature. Great addition to the already great reviews on the thread.

Do the UE custom replacement cables work with the TF10?

The second row are for customs before September 2010. The connector looks the same, and it seems like a good bargain.

Triple fi uses a shorter pin. So if you use any of these cables our other cables made for the custom IEMs, the plug will not seat in all the way. You can end up bending the pins since they dont sit firmly all the way in. Not a good idea. We will have a Triple Fi version of our custom IEM cables in a few months. If your cable is bad I would just order a TF10 cable. It is no better or worse than the stock cables for the customs.

I'm looking to buy a replacement cable for my tf10, I was wondering if you know anything about these cables:

thanks!

I would rather spend the money on a different tf10 cable. Check my list of IEM cables in my signature, it's got a few UE TF10 cables. The problem is that some of these non overmoulded cables are not proper for the pin sizes. I've heard lots of reports from people about their cables not working and not to include them in the list. This one was never mentioned to me, but it is a risk you are taking (some cables had pin sizes smaller than the tf10 size, not the usually larger pin sizes used on other IEM's. Weird why they would even produce the non-standard size, but they do and it's something to try and find out about. 
 
Good luck in your search, let me know if the cable works and i'll include it in the list

I recently ordered several different TF10 connectors, and on half of them the pins were too large, good thing i actually purchased a TF10 so that i could check.

 

[PLUSSOUND]

I find it strange that all TF10 pins don't maintain the same size. It is always best to own the IEM to make sure you find the right connector.

TF10s sound sexy, but they're a cruel and unusual ear punishment, at least for me, the way they're shaped.  T minus 12 hours and counting until I finally get fitted for customs.  

 

[kenman345]

You've never had customs? Or never custom TF10's? Customs are lots of fun. The fitting will be much more to your liking if you get it done right. Who you getting to do the remold or customs?

Hey 
 
Thanks a lot for getting back to me! So I'll take your advice and won't risk it! I'm kind of stuck between  Chris_Himself's Cable and Null Audio Arete. which one do you find sonically superior?
