I owned the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro...and ended up returning them.
The Triple.fi 10's are really great sounding IEMS...amazing sound reproduction throughout the entire musical spectrum (lows, mids and highs). Also owning the Etymotic ER-4P, I was impressed with the Triple.Fi 10's.
The two reasons I returned them were:
1. They didn't provide the sound isolation I needed from an IEM. My most frequent use of IEM's is on cross-county airplane commutes to California.
2. Vocal representation - I felt on some songs, the vocals were "slightly" recessed (a common signature trait of UE's)
Both of these issues were really minor, but the more important of the two was the sound isolation.
So...I decided to try some of the Shure IEM's. To get the best feel, I purchased all three (SE530, SE420 and SE310). After listening to all three extensively, I surprisingly choose the SE310 as the keeper.
The SE310 provided the best balanced presentation, something which was important to me. If I desire a slightly warmer sound, I simply tweek the Equalizer on my iAudio 7.
For me the SE530 and SE420 were a bit too over pronounced in the low frequencies...for my taste. All three IEM's from Shure are excellent.
The biggest difference in the Shures (compared the the Triple.Fi's) is that the Shure's provide outstanding Sound Isolation...
