^Some people report having a different sound sig and/or not liking the sound of their triples when they get them back. I'd highly suggest extensive reading on the custom molds before you go that route.

^I'm getting what your'e saying. The first thing I noticed when I got the earphones back, the cable seemed slightly different, and it sounds really thin and "whiney". I'm guessing they messed with the cable a bit. I'm slightly ambivalent about a cable change now though. I'll definitely go the UM route next time round. Probably when my warranty ends.

No problems with SQ of reshells for me and many others. I didn't go through UM though.

Changes to the cable? you still have the same cable on there as when you sent it in right? I don't think it's the cable man... a some people have sibilance problems when they get their re-molds back... mostly attributing it to the lack of a universal cushion in place of acrylic which means less high frequencies get muffled.

This is a common problem, maybe amazon will cover you or you can just reshell it. Good luck.

Didn't anyone read the update? I've gotten a replacement from logitech and I noticed that they sound different to the ones "that I've sent in". So I did not go through the UM/remolding route.

The exact same thing happened to a triple.fi 10 pro I borrowed from a friend today

. This is a serious tfp design flaw.

...That's why I avoid Logitech like the plague. That and other issues.

 

[Young Spade]

I read a lot about Super.Fi 5s being sent in because the bottom part where the pins are connected comes out completely. :/

Not good at all.

I have added some pictures to explain what the problem is. Be very careful and think twice before removing your tfp cable, I was being very gentle and it still broke. Even now, I am still unable to detach the plug from the jack housing, it is as if they were glued together.

^And that's exactly what I was talking about. When I did mine I held the actual stem of the phone where it disconnects so I wasn't putting pressure on the housing/pin casing.

Damn. I got lucky. I just recently grabbed my bro's universal TF10s when he wont around to compare them to my remolds and the plugs were tighter than I had expected. Had I known how easy it was to break them, I might not have kept pulling. But thankfully they pulled out. My brother would have been so pissed.

 

[glac1er]

It seems that not all tfp has this problem. The plug on my tfp right earpiece was easy to pull out. Only the left side was broken so easily.

Anyway, I have contacted UE (now Logitech) about this issue (I did mention head-fi). They seem to accept this problem as a defect. If your product is still under warranty, you just have to send the broken one in and they will send you a replacement.

As for my case, my tfp is out of warranty. They offered to me to buy a tfp from them at 50% discount as long as I send my broken tfp in. Pretty much useless since tfp is $400+tax at Logitech website. I may be able to get one from amazon for slightly cheaper
