Thanks, what tips do you recommend?

Comply foams are fine. If the Shure olives could fit, that would be phenomenal.

Complys or Olives, though Olives don't fit without modifications..

Olives fit, but you have to take needle-nose pliers and stretch the living s**t out of the plastic cores. Took me about 15 minutes to stretch them, try to fit them on the nozzle, stretch them again... you get the idea

I really don't understand why in the hell Logitech would buy out Ultimate Ears just to run the brand into the ground..
 

Happens all the time in corporate acquisitions.  Big brands have to keep "re-buying the magic" of small brands only to destroy it when they try and squeeze more profitability out while taking it mass market.  See Sobe, Lifewater, Odwalla, SAAB, etc.

Some of us have also achieved excellent fit with the Monster brand tips, either stock silicone or Supertips.  Others swear by Sony Hybrid tips.  There are many aftermarket solutions to the poor ergonomics issue, most of which boils down to the poor stock tips IMO.  My ranking for comfort/SQ blend (your mileage will vary):
 
Monster gel Supertips
Monster stock silicone tips
Comply foam tips
Monster foam Supertips
UE double flange tips
Sony Hybrid tips
UE single flange tips

  Hello There ~
 
  I have a pair of TF-10's. There seems to be little to no bass in the left bud. I switched left to right to trouble shoot with same lack of bass. Also tried multiple sound sources with no difference.
 
 Any help would be appreciated !    Thank-you.

RMA it if its still under warranty. I dont think there's any other choice

 

[Geekydaddy]

Bought off Ebay 6 months ago Logitech wont honor their warranty because of Ebay purchase.

I like them but the TF10 have some serious, fundamental sonic limitations that cannot be overlooked.  I always and unequivocally EQ the mid-range because it is clearly not balanced.

I know what you mean, even using my ety MC5 makes the voices feels clearer and closer, TF10 makes the voices feel distant, which actually gives them a sense of (even more) soundstage.
 
However, I wouldnt change the TF10 for metal, specially instrumental rock/metal, I wont change them for any genre actually. but yeah, a more in-the-front-line midrage would be appreciated.

It think he is saying that the mid on the tf10 is kinda recessed

Could you please explain what you mean by this statement?
 

TF10 is peaky both in the treble and bass, where the mids are left there where they stand making them sound distant compared to the rest of the frequency response.

Oh man, I know custom reshelling isn't cheap, but OMG they are so comfortable! In my ears for 6 hours straight now and counting, and in fact, my Sansa's battery died while I was listening to it!
 
I've never out listened an mp3 player before... lol...
