In your PM you just asked if you could use clear nail polish to thicken the right, NOTHING about the shell quality which is a big deal to us and everyone else. So please if you have time send them back to me and instead of waiting and we will make a new shell. And all of you are right we try to give you guys special treatment because we are under the microscope here and to be honest I am trying to QC yours harder than our own products.

I sent you the link to the pictures and asked you about the fit problems. Not sure what else you're wanting from me. I'm obviously going to post the pictures as a benefit to others.

I'm honestly a little curious how my IEMs made it through inspection twice. There was a massive sound imbalance the first time and lots of internal defects in the shells the second time.

May I suggest you take the issue offline? Kaysen seems more than willing to work with you. Let us know how it turns out.

Um, it's already offline. That's what the PMs are. I'll certainly be updating this thread as available.

So I just received my SE530 from Fisher for a refit. They at first fitted perfectly when I sit still, but when moving my head around, the earbore of the right earpiece touches my ear, which hurt a lot. I sent in last week and they arrive this morning. The refit is simply awesome. No matter how I move my jaw, there is no interaction between the earbores and my ears. I'm surprised by complaints with their build quality. I don't notice any sign of flaw on my refit. Kaysen has been doing a wonderful job answering all the questions and the turn-around time is shorter than any custom IEMs company. Take a look at the JH13s thread to see how many people, including me, were disappointed with the build quality.

p.s Anyone needs a clearer comparison between Fisher and Westone cable, let me know. I'll take some pics.

Is your SE530 single or double bore?

hi,

can u please give a review of ur new customs

. is there any change in the sound characteristics ? some pics plz

 

[bjaardker]

Well, I've got an appointment to get impressions made this coming tuesday at Fort Healthcare ENT. $25 total for impressions of both ears. She said that she works with this company out of MI called Westone and would look into if they would reshell my Triple.Fi's.

I doubt Westone will reshell a competitor's earphones, but if she wants to check that's ok. Either way I'm going to be getting impressions done and might be contacting Fisher Hearing soon.

Here you go. Sorry for the crappy pics, my hand is still hurt like hell after falling really hard this morning.

Plug:

Y-Splitter:

As I said before, the Fisher cable has the wire management. It's bigger and better build than that of the Westone. Also, there is only one strand in the Fisher cable. The Westone cable has 3 strands under the y-splitter, after than, the common ground is split into 2, and makes a totally of 4 strands. The Fisher cable is more rigid but not as flexible as the Westone's cos the outer shield is made of plastic. It's also harder to coil up, as you can see in the pics later.

Wire memory:

This is the plus point for the Fisher cable. The wire memory is much longer and cover all your ear. It's extremely easy to bend and stay in the good shape. The Westone's is very short and hard to keep the shape you want.

Close-up pics of the wire into the earpiece:

The connectors are a little bit different:

As said above, it's quite hard to coil the cable:

Finally, a show-off for my new skin LOL

About the sound, I'm trying them straight from the Nuforce uDac.

As I posted before, the build quality is top-notch. I really can't find any flaw to say about. You guys should know that Kaysen is 100% true when she said that the remold ones are under microscopic here

I can say that they pay more attention when doing stuffs coming from HF.

About the sound, comparing with the stock SE530s, there are 2 big improvements: soundstage and highs. I can't say there's an improvement in comfort cos the stock SE530s are the most comfortable IEMs I've ever tried. The soundstage improves quite dramatically, wider, better instrumental separation, but not really deeper. The bass is still really awesome, a little bit tighter. The remold, fortunately, still keeps the sweet mids, but I notice that it's on a more neutral side. One thing I'm especially happy is the highs. It's much less roll-off and I can fully enjoy the SE530s now. The iTouch G3 matches them really well and now becomes my portable rig. The JH13s will stay home, forever.

Hope that helps.

This fit review made me feel alot better about the whole process, thanks, looking forward to hearing more. Inearz responce also made me feel better, they made some good points. We'll see how it all turns out.
Edit: Wow great pics and overall review, and yes your new skin is awesome lol.

Wait, you have a Weston cable for your JH13?

 

[Lil' Knight]

Yep. The stock JH13 cable is so short and I switched to a longer Westone.

 

[ravissimo]

are the westone & UE custom cables manufactured from the same company? they look exactly the same from my recollection (my triple.fi's are currently at fisher hearing), from the y-splitter, the prongs, to the right-angle 3.5 mm plug. can anyone post pics of both if you bought them from both westone & UE? just curious...

 

[Lil' Knight]

They are just the same, coming from the same OEM.
