the triplfi bi flange tips work best for me, also the comply tx500 fit good but lessen the punch a bit, i have the mediums but i think the larges might be better for me.
i used to have the w3 but the highs were to sharp. apparently neither the triple or the wetone require burn. i never did a/b them at same time, but i may have too, however the w3 had significantly less punch than the ue5 eb and i hated the chord,, but then again the micro phonics suck on the triplefi 10 (vi) chord with the mic option, this is due to the fact that the mic cables don tseem to be coated with same materail as the regular version,,, the vi chord does get much morre flexible and quieter with time, but this may be helpful to someone . ironically i find that the truplfi fit much better than the w3 did,, the only tip i could use with the stock w3 tips weree also the biflange, and they seemed to really rape your ear canal and after periods of time wee very irritating.
synergy- to me the triplefi sound their best using the Triad Auido Lisa III amp, i use her as my main amp,, lisa makes the triplefi punch so hard and have an extra mid thick rich sound which is very pleasant, much more so than any otf my smaller amps. i will be trading in my small predator to try the larger sr71a blackbird for triple synergy. im done with tiny amps as i think they all fall short in the power department. im sure the iqube sounds great too, but im buyin american, and speaking of that westone 3 and the ue triplefi 10 are both made in the usa
going by memory is not effective imo, so these two shall have it out along side the ie8,(lets hope i get a real pair this time and not fakes again!) my theory is that the triplfi have much more punch than the w3 when a/b together, if this is the case i will again be selling the w3 and picking up a backup pair of tirplefi like i shoudlve already done considering they are my reingin favorite iem. i also surmize that an a/b compare with a real pair of ie8 will live the sennheisers sounding veiled, but we shall see.
listing amp synergy with the triplefie is very helpful as they sound extremely better on certain equipment, more notceable than others,, also i find the are able to be eq'd more and turned up louder and remaing crystal clear before distorting, and my favorite part or the triplefi is diefinitley their punch,simply devine, and the fact theat their highs donot hurt my ears like w3 or denon c710 or any other of my iems. ialso very much like the ue5 eb which has more punch an dbass than any univerasal i have tested to date.
triple awesome!
cheers
