Exactly! If you can use a Line-out to bypass a mediocre amp in your source and replace it with a better, dedicated amp, these IEMs will let you heart the differences.
Finally got to listen to these last night. I'm suprised. What an amazing deal for only $95. I honestly wasn't expecting them to replace my Shure 535 as my go to IEM, but I think they just might. I did some A/B testing on various genres, and for most I prefer the TF10.
I find the fit to be comfy. I prefer the cord length over the way-too-long shures.
I am not as disappointed in the mids as I was expecting based on opinions here.
I honestly thought they were superior to the Shures in every aspect expect for mid fowardness. When my Lune cables brought the mids forward, shures were like a tier lower than these imo.

honestly, i don't understand how an amp would help other than the fact that the amp itself intrinsically emphasizes parts of the spectrum more than others
A halfway decent amp will provide a cleaner signal out of the line-out versus the headphone out, period. In addition, some added juice can usually provide some added slam without distortion. TF10 soundstage is definitely on the large side relative to other IEM's. Yes, I easily prefer it over SE535. More fun and cleaner sounding.

The cables are much nicer built and sturdier than the stock cables.
I also highly recommend Beat Audio's Cables here. The built quality is unbelievable on them. There are a lot of varieties and you can try emailing Stephen to see which one he recommends. I did so and his recommendation truly transformed my IE8s.
Thats so true, I've never heard my mixed comps sound this good before its wonderful. Even older comps like Tranceport vol 3 mixed by Sandra Collins which I'm listening to right now is just so clear and detailed with very nice smooth and deep bass. While newer mixes just sound out of this world good even on mp3 but it should be at the very least 192kbps but 256kbps to 320kbps are the ones that just hit hard.
I have very little music below 320kbps, I just checked, I only have 8 songs under 320kbps as of now out of 388 (yeah I know, phone is lacking so much music, used to have it crammed full) 116 of the sons out of 388 are lossless
I have to say I'm pretty stoked to listen to lossless electronic on these. Gonna start of with some lossess Levels by Avicii.
I'm interested in how they'll compete with my IE8s in the Dubstep area. I feel they are hard to top, especially with the few lossless albums I have, just jaw dropping. What do I know though, I have nothing to compare them to lol.
I'm most concerned with comfort/isolation. The best tips I've come up with are the Monster foam supertips. If I use a large enough size to get good isolation, they get uncomfortable after 1-2 hours (plus I find the need to constantly fidget with them as they shift). If I use the next size down, I lose bass.
For about the same price as an acrylic reshell, these tips seem like a good substitute. I would think silicone would be more comfortable.
