UE Triple.fi 10 pro

[Audio-Omega]

Is it the best after UE10 or UE11 ?

 

[jimmy8269]

Tripple fi 10 pro is universal IEM while UE10 is custom mold and personalized version for your only ears. UE11 is the most recent one with more drivers to drive the music to its limit. Better or Best, this depends on your taste and style (IMO and disregarding the price of each model).

cheers,

Is it good for classical and pop music ?

 

[jimmy8269]

It can be compromised with classic since Tripple Fi 10 pro has some advantage in wide sound stage like fullsize. However, I'd prefer to pair them with Pop/Rock.

Would a Shure equivalent be a better choice ?

In my opinion, the Triple.Fi is better than the Shure E500 or SE530.

I'd say they are on par with each other. I find TFP's better with orchestral, some jazz and multi-instrument recordings but I prefer the SE530 for rock and acoustic. Fit is much easier with the Shures.

Is UE good for vocal ?

 

[tk3]

E500 is generally considered better for vocals, but seriously, do a search for this.
There are like a million topics about this very subject.

The Shures have a forward midrange making it better for vocals, acoustic and percussion/drums (IMHO). The UE has a recessed midrange but the deepest and most textured bass I have ever heard and there is still something very intoxicating (jn a good way) about the whole sound presentation but it sounds a little un-natural to me. But still an excellent IEM. I'm being very picky here.

I think UE is better if you likes highs and Shure definitaly missing that big time. I used to beleive something wrong with my hearing because i can't listen(more) details in highs when i use Shure IEMs. But after i used TF10Pro and i realized Shure missing highs big time. So to me UETF10Pro are excelent IEMs with great sound stage and the best part these IEMs are it shows where instruments start and finish right to the end(Shure missing that too). It's also can use without AMPs because it don't make much difference like Shure do. So if you likes highs more with great soundstage and better separation then go for TF10Pro(BTW SRS WOW SANDBOX brings the midrange forward with more bass). But if you like more(quantity) bass and forward midrange then Shure(SE530)are good.

Thanks for your responses. It's getting harder to decide.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Triple Fi were actually better for vocals than Shure E500. Vocals on the E500 sound artificial. The best vocals I have found are with the Etymotic ER4P and Altec iM716, which are considered "flat", unlike "forward" like I'm reading here about the E500.
I know that some people who have heard a bunch of Shures think the midrange on the E500 sounds nothing like the E4c, that is actually considered forward midrange.

I have heard both of them and in my opinion the Triple.fi 10 produces vocals better than the se530. The UEs have that nice, sweet extension on the upper highs and a smooth midrange that really comes in nicely with both male and female vocalists. The ER4-S is the only headphone that I have heard that can match (or surpass) the triple.fi with vocals.
