I had a look for you and there is some mircophonics, mostly from the earhoops flapping around but only if you leave the chin glider down is it really present. probably a little more than the stock cable (I'm not changing it to check) The cable is not $100 it's $35.00 US, remember it has a straight jack, not an L shape so putting a player in your pocket may put pressure on the jack and cable were it connects.
The build is good, nice and solid,the most improvements you will find is SQ and comfort using this cable.


Hmm..thanks for your reply.
 
What about the chris_himself cables? Can anyone compare the dark lord ones with the chris cables?

Yeah, mine did not fall out either, but I was not walking around with them - I used them at the office only when sitting at my desk.  I also used hybrid tips.


If only UE had done more to improve the housing. would have been so much better for the other spectrum of consumers with small sized canals like me.

Well against all the bad reviews against a design/quality flaw in the cable, I have decided to buy a pair of these from Amazon.com. The good reviews sound too good to pass up on for $160
 
I will receive them in a couple of days and am quite excited. I hope I will not have to replace the cables anytime soon. I have a question. Has anyone used these IEM's while running, or working out. I have a pair of SE 110's that I use for the gym etc and was wondering about the integrity of these phones under conditions of sweat and vibrations etc? My SE 110's have really taken a beating and after my third repair, they are on their last limbs...

Hello All,
I just recently purchased a pair of TF10s, I'm loving them, I also bought a cable  but I decided to stick them on my SF3s which has also totally tranformed them into something sounding very nice.
My next step is to DIY a cable for the TFs..........Looking forward to that, I just bought some pins, plugs now waiting for some wire.

 
Where does one get such things? (Pins plugs and wires correctly sized for the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10.)

I bought UE pins from Ebay, Neutrik NTP3RC-B 3.5mm from a shop on the street and wires also coming from Navship Ebay again.
Seeing that this is my first ever DIY cable gig, I didn't want to spend a fortune, also I want to horn my skills before I try the more exotic and expensive stuff!
Pins $10 inc postage
Wire $10 inc postage
Plug $7
Now I'm looking for some nice heatshrink to wrap it all up or leave al fresco.
Looking forward to the wires arriving. Main thing is do your homework, I only recently found Head Fi and I have been trolling through posts and gained quite a lot of knowledge in what to do, now I just need to turn that into practical! Lol.

No, the earhoops are pre moulded so they won't straighten. There are straight versions on ebay such as this one.

(That's just an example) Search for "ultimate ears cable" or "Triple-fi 10 upgrade cable" for others
