I have both and I love them both...just kinda depends I guess. For classical and more analytical listening I use the Triple.fi's. For rock and anything with pumping beats I use the Shure's. This is also nice because my ears are big and the Shure's fit flush in my ears. As in the entire gold part fits within the bowl of my ear. Practically invisible and great for running with my iPod because they don't stick out at all. However, when I sit down at my desk I'll probably turn to my Triple.fi's from now on because of their ability to squeeze every last detail out of the music. They don't seem to lose much warmth when compared to the SE530's they just sound a little cleaner. To me it's a lot like the difference between my Shure's and my iPod to my Shure's and my laptop with ext. DAC and AMP. Same general sound just a little more articulate and accurate. Plus I got them for $290 from Soundearphones.com when their sale was still running. Always a plus there!!

You switch the drivers on the cables. So Right becomes Left and Left becomes Right. That way you can place them more flush with your ear.

I am thinking of getting one of these two headphones. I like acoustic music, specifically bluegrass. I see that you like the UE triple fi's better, but think that it may depend on the kind of music one listens to. Which do you think would excel with bluegrass?

Thanks!

hey OP, did you try them with or withou an AMP? straight from your iphone?

Shure should give better seal, even with olive mod on Triple.fi (or Super.fi), Shure phones still get more foam out of the same olive due to UE's huge stem.

damn, I just LOVE how SE530 looks, but i think ill be sensate and go for triple.fis

 

[ho1ming]

agree that 10 pro has better high range but i like e500's soundstage and bass, all depends...

One could say that the review is somewhat skewered then, because common saying is that because the triple.fi is of low impedance and easy to drive in its nature, then it would trump the E500/SE530, who needs more "juice" and power to shine.

How are the TF10s compared to Futuresonics' Atrio line of IEMs? In terms of bass quality (especially) and quantity?

i thought the se530s were the more sensitive, but an amp is sort of a pain anyway in the pocket, and an amp wouldnt change the sound that much i believe

Sensitivity-wise, the TF10 is 117db, while the SE530 is 119db of sensitivity. Impedence-wise, the TF10 is 32ohms, while the SE530 is 36ohms, not that big of a difference.

Al4x what kind of adapter do you use for them...or do they both fit into the iphones jack?

Simply TF 10Pro is amazing.........
