Two days ago, I purchased Shure SE530's and a set of black "olive" foamies. I haven't opened the box yet, however, probably because I am worried that I'll regret having bought them. I'll explain:
I own Super.Fi 5 Pro's. One of the units broke, and I came to be in the market for a new set of IEM's. While the Super.Fi fit me quite well, I tried the IE-40 (a rebranded Triple.fi) and did not find them comfortable. I think it was something about the slightly increased size of the canal portion. Plus, I didn't like the sound coming out of them, which surprised me quite a bit, as I thought the Super.Fi's were pretty good.
I've owned both Sennheiser HD-650's and Grado RS-1's. I liked the sound presentation of both of them, even though they were very different.
It seems that there is something of a love-fest on Head-Fi regarding the Triple.Fi's these days. And it seems that more people talk about how great the UE's are than the Shure's, even though places like Headroom, TTVJ, and iLounge seem to give the 1st prize (slightly) to the SE530's.
So, I'm posting this poll to see who actually owns which one. I want to figure out if I should open/keep the Shure's, or return them and get Triple-fi's.
