I thought the Sony Hybrids were MORE uncomfortable than the complys and also sounded much worse.

The hybrids sound hole is too small for the TF10 dual bore nozzle IMO.  I agree with Spyro on the complys.  They had the larger sound hole, letting that airy treble come through better and were comfortable.  Normally the real hybrids are my favorite tip but not on the TF10's.

Hey guys, i need some help. Yesterday, my pair of tf10s got screwed up somehow and the left driver became significantly louder than the right driver. I panicked and tried to fix it and being the curious idiot i am, i used a needle to try to clean the nozzle of my tf10s and accidentally poked the red thing in the nozzle of the tf10 and there is a hole. Can someone tell me what that red cover thing is and did i just screw my tf10 up? The tf10's somehow did not have the problem of the left driver being louder than the right when i woke up this morning though. and i am pretty sure that the problem is not with my cables

The red thing is the acoustic filter. By right the sound's suppose to be different once you remove or damage it. You could try to contact UE and ask if they could replace it, but they might not since the damage was not due to defects or faults

 

[zainprox]

Ok thank you very much. I was panicking so much last night i couldn't sleep. Would it be okay to continue using it though?

 

[Leynar]

If you're fine with the sound, then of course! you could also try to sweet talk UE to replace it, since the original cause of you panicking was the dimming of the left side, which should be a defect after all

 

[zainprox]

Oh yeah. Thanks so much! I got mine used so i can also send the spoiled cables the previous owner gave me for repair.

These apparently come down in price every year i hear. When would be the next time this happen. I'm interested in making an addition to my collection

This may not be the place to do this but..
 
i have the Large little cushions which i have not used and i am looking for the Small little cushions.
 
I am interested in a small trade because i am using medium and it sort of "hurts" a little lol
Before, it used to hurt me more when i inserted them but i grew out the pain i guess

They fit, but it is a bit tight. If you have trouble fitting them on, there are many 'fake' Sony Hybrids that are easier to fit on.

well atleast you have the option to reshell and add drivers if you want to upgrade them

and how the hell do you get sony hybrid tips on them? the nozzle is huge.

 

 

[Waveblade]

Well I got some other for cables my triple fis and I managed to 'stretch' out the sockets.
 
How do i fix them and how do I know if I pick up something like null-audio's lune cable.
 
Hindsight is 20/20 so any suggestions? lol

 

[Chris_Himself]

Get them pinned for UE customs, it's the next best thing if your sockets are loosey goosey

:L i posted this review a while ago, but when I edited it to make a few changes, it made a new post for me. So enjoy, its on chrishimself and his awesome cables for my TF10s
 
Sound
Highs: Clear? Just clear as always, don't seem to hear much difference from before but they always sounded magnificent so its great, no harm done. Just enjoyed them thoroughly, except my source (HTC Desire HD) can get sibilant at times, but its the same with other earphones and cables anyway. A fiddle of the EQ helped
 
Mids: Just wish I had the stock cables to directly compare to, from memory these sound way better. Vocals are definatey present, clear and full, and I seem to enjoy a lot songs a lot more with these cables. Don't blame me if its just imaginary, but if i do recall correctly, the mids are significantly improved with these.
 
Bass: Well, they're even better than before. At first, i thought they were lacking, because the bass were dominant with the stock cable, probably because the mids were slightly less present, and now, the mids are more obvious. But I'm starting to enjoy the bass more, its definately not lacking, maybe just not as overpowering or dominant as it used to be. Maybe these cables aren't so good if you are a basshead, as there might be other cables that give even more bass than the stock, but the bass is still really good :L
 
So, other stuff...
 
Build quality is great, definatly not as curly/memory(ish?) as the stock cables. It's remained quite straight, but curls up a bit. It's very thin, so it might seem like they might break easily, but a month or two in my pocket hasn't done any damage. From what I can see, it's very tough, and its not gonna break like the stock cables i had. It looks great too, and with the awesome sound, there's little to complain about, but of course, there are a few annoying details
 
1. Microphonics. Like crazy. I'd be lying if I said it was bearable while running, because if you don't wear a jumper/put it under a shirt, or use a shirt clip, you seriously won't listen to these while walking/jogging. I found this really annoying, but I'd say this is normally not a problem for most others as they're meant to be over the ear, which i normally don't do. Will re-edit when I get them back again and try them over the ear. Recommend the PTFE tubing/nylon or something (maybe a shirt clip?) that chrishimself might have that helps it out.
2. The plugs are a bit too long? The connector to the earpieces seem too long for the port because its not recessed like the stock cable, it fits but the cable is sticking out, but a small piece of duct tape and I couldn't tell the difference.
3. Just a minor point, the y-splitter seems oddly low. Maybe 5 cm below where it normally is, doesn't really change much but it just feels weird. Biggest example is just pulling them out of my pockets, I can't just immediately find the two ear-tips because the cable is equal length between the left earpiece/right earpiece/plug. Ask for a wooden slider, just something that chrishimself will put on if you ask nicely But it's really not a "problem" because it doesn't make the cables any less awesome
 
Anyways, the earphones are great, the sound is exactly what I'm looking for, and definately a big plus is the fast service/replies and delivery. If you make sure you know what you want with your cable, I'm sure you'll find it perfect for your set of TF10s

Haha thanks man, yeah I think I accidently gave you Westone pins...
 
I sent you your fresh new cables (minus Westies) out on Monday buddy.
 
As for microphonics, yeah my bad, I'm going to experiment with a looser braid (mine is very tight and neat) to see if that dulls it down. I think the y-connect dampens it a bit too.
 
I'm more than happy you gave such an honest review though and I'm relieved you love them

 

[shureThing]

Is the bass quality better though?
How do microphonics compare to stock cables?
MN =)
