Well let me start by saying that i have been a proud owner of SE530s for a few months now. i promote shure and endorse them completely.
due to head-fi i have heard many rumblings about the triple fi's. i work in the airport but we don't sell UE. there is another store that does tho. so i went on my lunch break to try out the triple fi.
they seen i had shures so at first they were in shock that i had the se530s. so they didn't hesitate to let me demo the triple fi.
the first thing i noticed were that the triple fi were much harder to put on. i'm used to the nice snug, comfy fit of my shures. the UE were completely different. i used the grey foam similar to the yellow and orange ones shure offers. i didn't like how the UE stuck out my ears but they weren't terribly uncomfortable yet i knew i couldn't lay down with these bad boys.
anywayz i started with some tracks. all were apple lossless. initially i was not overly impressed. i started out with some
Common: The People, and I want you
it wasn't until i put on Be that i started to notice a difference. Then i put on Nas his newest song which i can't say on here lol and i was like daym.
then i put on Linkin Park: Don't Stay if i wasn't in a store my jaw would have dropped. i kept my composure tho. i played my shure right after and it just wasn't the same.
i missed that sound i wanted to go back and listen but i couldn't. now i'm faced with a dilemma do i sell my se530s and go for the triple fi or do i stay true to shure?
the shure are clearly more comfortable but i like the triple fi sound better. i mean i only listened for about 10min but i came away impressed.
what should i do guys?
