i had to remove the filters on mine.... they were crap but as soon as i took them out.... everything was clear
 

 
Oh really..how did u do that? Kaysen replied to me that there could be some wax on the filter.

i just used a pin to remove them.... not the metal part, just the white filter

well..that is supposed to protect the inner parts from ear wax?

i have clean ears hahaha.

it does to a degree.... but if you are having to replace the filters every couple of months, its really not worth it... also if you are sweating while using them, stick them in a bowl of rice and it will draw out all of the moisture, this may help with your wax issue especially if you do it right after you use them while they are still warm. I know it sounds gross but wax is pure clearish liquid before it dries and if you can make sure that the moisture gets out before it dries that's one way to  prolong your filters.

^Indeed this works.  I on the other hand store mine in a Pelican 1010 box with an oversize silica package to dry out my IEM.

would you all recommend using remolded tf.10's for running? i'm wondering if the sweating might possibly damage them in any way?
also, when I got mine remolded, I had it done with a Westone cable, but I want to get the UE cable which has longer piece of memory tubing. Would this work? I know that the westone cable had thicker pins (or wider space between the pins) than the stock UE cable on the tf.10's so I'm wondering if UE makes all their cables like that?

I am enjoying my Klipsch Custom 3 reshell from Fisher so much, that I am sending in my TF10s to be reshelled by them. I going with translucent black with colored tips this time. I'm going to keep the original UE cable and socket, since I own several decent 3rd-party replacement cables. 
 
I am one of the lucky ones that get a great fit with the TF10, so I probably don't need to do this, but the customs look so cool.
 
I also got the UE custom engraved carrying case (black) for the Klipsch reshells. It is a very nice case.

I did the same thing.  The highs are better now.

That white "filter" is not a "wax guard" it is wat is called a "damper."  The damper is a type of passive filter and it is intended to help soften the natural peak frequencies that driver inherently have.  I think the white filter drops around 3 dB, but I could be wrong on that. The issue is, these damper, over time, get blocked up with ear wax, debri, moisture etc.  When this happens, the original SQ is altered and yes a quick solution is to remove them, poke a hole in them or replace them.
 
The optimal solution is to replace them, finding replacements is not an easy task. Micro Sonic sells them on their web site, but I am not sure if they carry a large sellection. Theoritically you coulld customize the sound signature of your own head sets, if the dampers are easy to change....  
 
Cheers

Well, Fisher never even placed the dampers back into my remolds. I guess they were just trashed when they were working on them. Makes the decision easy for me... But I do feel like it's caused some sibilance issues on my C3s.

I have two questions as I am thinking about having a pair of Triple.fi's reshelled.
 
a) Can they create the Westone ES series type shells (acrylic with silicone tips)
b) Would something outrageous like triple bore be possible? Or would it be best to stick with the dual bore setup like on the stock triple.fi's?

 

[TekeRugburn]

triple bore would be useless with the triple.fi since it uses single high and dual low drivers.

Don't believe so.

Thanks. I thought the triple.fi did 1 low/mid/high but guess not.
