So, all in all, my TF10's have wayy to much bass and if I use them with sources where equalization is not possible it overwhelms me. Now, I have read that cables can bring about a change in the sound signature, specifically more controlled bass/reduction. I have taken a look at the Null Audio Cables, Lune and the Enyo, how do they stack up?

Can you guys please give me more suggestions and solutions to my problem.

I suggest you get a different IEM. No amount of cable tweaking will make "wayy too much bass" and "overwhelms me" go away, you'd just waste your money.

Wow, I wish that was the case with my triple.fi 10 Pro. The bass on mine is light yet punchy. What tips are you using?

well coming from woody 2 to a tf10, i find tf10 to be lacking in bass impact. Or that its very very accurate and tight, too tight for my liking. Or maybe its just tf10's bass rolls off too early, whereas woody 2's bass still lingers.

And I completely understand and I plan to upgrade to a JH Audio or something like that later. If I had an option I would have gone for the Shure SE530's however I picked up my TF10's for $100 bucks, a total steal.

I have Fisher Remold. Its not like the bass beats my head into submission with punches. Its just that if I listen to anything acoustic or something like Jason Mraz or John Mayer, the bass drones. It drowns out the mids and treble angering me greatly, however for hip hop and house, its fine

never had that prob with mine

When I had the TF10 they just weren't for me. The bass was too much for me so I sold it and bought something more in line with my preference.

i dont have that problem with the bass on the tf10

 

[backtofront001]

Its not like I dont like bass - I have owned DT990s, and I currently own MD5000s, so I am a bass guy but I feel the TF10 bass response is way too muddled, it is uncontrolled. For that reason I thought a cable change could make a difference plus a couple of testimonies on this forum claiming that cable change solved the problem.

Description of Lune cable from Null Audio Store

"Distinguished from our Enyo series, the Lune utilizes specially made silver wires with clear Teflon sleeving as high performance conductors, braided to reduce low range and interference noises. It minimizes transmission phase shifts and distortions while providing immense clarification over the sound realm with better depth, width, image focus and finer low range resolution"

So this sounds like something I am looking for but I am not sure if its marketing bs or if its true. The cable is $110, I spent $100 on the TF10's so thats why I want to know for sure if it makes a difference

^^^^ that cable sure sounds good,all i can say is when i changed my line out dock cable from a standard one to a silver coated one it had a postive effect on the sound i get.

 

[techenvy]

you guys are crazy too think tpfi 10 have too much bass, you need some etymotic research.

so when you got the silver lod the sound improved by? moer detailed high end, more bass punch? more bright?

Try the Westone 2, it's lighter on bass than the TF10 and has great highs and detail. It's pretty much dead neutral with a touch of warmth that makes it nice to listen to. Those who have had both tend to rate the W2 higher.

it's not crazy at all to think that the TF10 have too much bass. It's personal preference which matters much more than how good a phone is IMO.
