Received mine last night. Wow!! These sound amazing and for $99, they're a steal!
I do a have a question. The cables are suppose to go over the ear, correct? If that's right, then mine are marked incorrectly. The one with the "L" will only go into my right ear and the one with the "R" will only go in my left. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just a cosmetic error? Is that why they were so cheap?



If you want to wear them over the ear, you need to pull off the cable from each earphone and swap them. :D
 


Ha!! Actually, I did think of that. It just seemed too easy.

I'm finally getting mine today (I think) and I can't wait.  After hearing so many people say there really good for electronica and edm is getting me excited as thats the only kind of music I really listen to.
 
Also I'm thinking of getting the Westone cables to swap out the stock and I was just wondering how much you have to modify the connection and is it easy to do?

I *think* you have to trim the connectors a little as they are too long, someone back me up on this..

This is known as the flip-flop mod and for many it is the more comfortable way to wear them over the ear.  It allows for better comfort and seal for my ears, for sure!

Wait, what? I wear them over the ear and I didn't have to swap cables.



If you didn't swap cables and are wearing them over the ear, you probably have the left monitor in your right ear, and vice versa. In other words, you're hearing everything backwords... although it probably doesn't even really affect your listening experience. lol.

No...I'm wearing them like this: and my left and right earpieces are matched correctly. I just checked the "R"s and "L"s on my earpieces and cables.

Ohhh. Gotcha! Are they more comfortable that way? I should try swapping my cables back and trying it. Because of the design/angle of the TF10's, when you swap the cables, they sort of fit more flush with your ear, which I like... although they don't look like they stick out all that much in the picture either.

They are. I took that picture from UEs website. It's how they were designed to be worn I guess? A lot of people find this uncomfortable though I think.
