I just got my TF10 (because of this thread) and been living happily with it for 4 days now.

I've read a lot of people have issues because of the fit, small ear canals. My problem is I have big ones.

 and worse, the right ear has bigger ear canal.  The comply that comes with the package is not even enough to have a good seal. I use the large silicons

The memory wire on the left side broke (I've had mine since January), but I called UE's customer support and they're going to replace it for free!!!

 The only problem is the cables are on back order right now, but I should get it in 2 weeks.

I like the silicon tips from the Sensorcom flanges used for the sm3's.  I was trying things out and this happened to be the absolute most perfect fit and seal for me.  Lubed the blue tips with some water-based lubricant, "KY-Jelly", serious.  I then twisted the tips on, in reverse.  Both flaps will be folded onto the shell.  What you want however is the smaller flap to fold back under the larger.  Lastly, trimming the tips down to the port with scissors.  The fit is more sturdy, kinda like a custom tip.  Big bass.

Just got mine 2 days ago, paired with my ipod classic 120GB, totally kick ass! Im surprised that though the TF10 was known to have more recessed mids, mine seems to be relatively more forward (less V-shaped) than another pair i tried that belonged to my friend. Now just waiting to remould it with UM...

^I think mids sound pretty good too.  Anybody have the real frequency response graph?

Anyone have any updates regarding what cable they use now? I was using the jaben one but it's slowly disintegrating and uncoiled within the first month of useage but then again I use them as my gym iem's, but from what I remember people were using lune cables. Any new manufacturers for UE cables? preferrably cheap and if possible some sound quality improvement.

Yeah my Jaben cable's memory wire/rubber thing is detached from the housing on one side. I baby these too so I don't know how that happened. I super-glued it for a ghetto mod but I guess you get what you pay for.

Tried every tip I got, PFE tips, monster super tips, thinksound tips, sony hybrids, sleek audio tips(somehow they fit). The most comfortable and best sounding to me was the regular comply's cut about 1 to 2 mm at the wider end.
