IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

[PolloLoco]

I originally sent my IEM's (triple Fi + mid drivers) such that they got them on the 30th. But I didn't send the cable I had and planned to use - so they asked me to ship them out as well to confirm the port they put in would work. That was received on the 4th. When I asked when I would receive them, I was told they would ship last Thursday. But I got a call from Kaysen on Friday - telling me that they would ship in a couple more days. Which is fine - so long as everything turns out great!

I bought mine as customs from someone else - and they didn't fit in my ears, so I haven't had a chance to hear them. I can't wait to get them and compare to my stock triple fi's - that I will then probably sell.

Wow I didn't know they would add additional drivers to the IEMs.. What mid drivers did you use?

Got a tracking number from Kaysen late in the business day today. No pics from her though. I guess it will be a surprise when I open the box on Tuesday. With them shipping on a Friday it wasn't worth it to pay for overnight since I would have been waiting over the weekend anyway.

I'm starting to think that it *might* be a fit issue in my right ear, but it's hard to tell for sure. When I have them in with no music and I snap by my ears it seems like they're isolating the same, but when I listen to music the lack of bass automatically makes me think there isn't a good seal but it feels like there is.. any suggestions?

Fisher doesn't - Unique Melody in China does it. They've actually just produced a customized TF10 with 6 drivers! It's in the Unique Melody thread.

I bought mine from another forum member - who had Unique Melody add the driver, and customize his TF10. But his ears were so different, I couldn't hear them beyond telling that both earphones worked. So I'm eager to get them back from Fisher.

I figure the wait and shipping expense would have been much worse going through China directly - as opposed to buying another forum member's customs.

can you post a picture?

intoflatlines, did it look like there was room for the ports to be arranged in a more standard configuration and they just chose not to?

Now I'm starting to get nervous again, thats 2 or 3 in a row who've had "issues", and I never got photos of mine before they were shipped.

 

[intoflatlines]

From my measurements, the two ports take up about 5.5 mm. On the right side (problem side) it is a very tight fit but it looks like it would have been just as tight if they had arranged it in the standard configuration. Even if they couldn't, the bass port could have at least been put on the top, but it is on the far bottom side instead.

I'm going to try some nail polish stuff to see if it's just a seal issue, but I doubt it. I'm hoping it is though!

Well looks like I possibly destroyed my tf10's that I purchased on the amazon sale. Tried to do the flip mode and the wires came out. Wondering if I can still have these remolded or do you thing amazon will take these back for an exchange. The good thing is that I did buy a second pair from amazon. Please see pictures and tell me what you think.

Where're the wires coming from? The earpiece or the cable?

 

[hollis]

Mine shipped out yesterday, I should be receiving them on Tuesday. I'm excited, I just hope the fit is perfect.

 

[LionPlushie]

looks like the wires are from the earpiece.. the socket got removed.

It's from the inside of the earpiece, connecting it to the crossover. Depending on if that damaged the crossover, Fisher Hearing i believe can fix the wiring. If the crossover is damaged, there's nothing you can do.

 

[rawrster]

yeah looks like the earpiece. well its under warranty no? should find out if its covered.

 

[neosoul]

Wires are coming from the earpiece. Probably should have never attempted the flip mode again because the side of the connection was really tight when I did it the first time. I've got a feeling that amazon will not cover this, will try to contact fisher to see what they can do.
