Wow nice. Are those holes air vents or what?

^Awesome. If the UM3Xs weren't already so comfortable I would really consider getting them remolded.

Has the sound quality changed any after the re-mold?

My story behind the above remolds:

To quickly answer the sound sig change. I haven't been able to listen to the q-jays for about 2 months, so I can't be exactly sure, but my brief observations have been as follows:

Seems like the bass might have been reduced (q-jays aren't bassy to begin with, though)
Treble might have been increased, they sound brighter than what I have been used to (been using crappy philips and jvc marshmallows in their absence)

Overall, though, the sound quality is still good, and I am definitely happy with them (without doing an a/b test against them in their original state).

Hmm, looks like head-fi flags my posts for having links to other threads on head-fi, so annoying to wait for a moderator to approve..

Anyway, quick answer: the sound quality appears about the same, but I haven't been able to listen to the q-jays in over two months. In the time that I have been without them, I've been listening to crappy jvc marshmallows and philips $10 things; my perspective may be skewed.

How is the fit? Are they sticking out or flat against your ears and how is the seal too?

 

[pfn]

The fit is pretty perfect and they lie flat in my ears.

The seal is also perfect.

Maybe you can ask them to remold it again? it might bring back the original sound or maybe closer to it.

My recently acquired TF10 reshells. Fit and sound are both good.

^ awesome color. They look good. What cable is that?

 

[intoflatlines]

Looks like a UE custom cable to me.

 

[tacitapproval]

^correct.

Got mine back earlier in the week. Long story short - turned out that they had received it ages ago but simply forgot to email me about it. Tried not to nag so only ended up finding out the week before it was completely finished and ready to be shipped.

Right earpiece is slightly foggier than the left, and there are a few tiny bubbles and blemishes inside the shells. Overall I have to say they did a very nice job and more or less matched my expectations.
Seal and fit are perfect, except the left ear piece becomes slightly uncomfortable after 1+ hour of usage and crackles a bit when smiling or yawning but does not break the seal. Definitely not bad enough to warrant a refit.

As far as I can tell the sound signature has remained the same as the original TF10. At the very least I am still able to use the same EQ on my S9 as I did before the reshell. The bass hasn't become muddy/overwhelming nor have I come across any sibilance. Funnily enough the biggest difference is actually from the new UE cord - first time that I've experienced an IEM without microphonics

I am researching to get custom casing for my TF10 that I got a few months ago on that incredible deal.

It seems that the overall reaction from the people that got it done from Fischer is a mixed bag of skittles, with most people having "fair" to "satisfactory" results. Are there any other reputable companies here in the US that does custom casings that would be worth looking into? What is the UM company that I see some people mentioning?

I'm sorry if this question has been asked a million times (and I'm sure it has), but I just spent about an hour researching and couldn't come up with recent information. I would be willing to spend up to $200 if I knew I would be getting a quality fit while maintaining the incredible sound of the TF10s, which Fischer seems to have had some problem with in the past.

Thanks in advance for any help and direction.
