Have someone tried to use Fiio's RC-UE1 on their Triple Fi's?

There are several threads on it, just to list a few:

• [IMPRESSION] FiiO RC-UE1 - Replacement Cable for Ultimate Ear
• FiiO RC-UE1 IEM cables for UE IEMs!
• etc...

Cool. Thanks leinadhok

Bit of measurement later and I found out my phone just doesn't pack the punch to drive these properly. The impedance peaks at 64.5 ohms lol. Had to make a massive peak at 4k or else vocals sounded very dulled and gave me a headache very quickly because they mixed with the bass. Probably because that's where the phone failed to drive properly. Besides that, vocals were too forward.
 
Resulting EQ...

 
In the meantime, waiting on my replacement cable from Logitech. I can see the yellow wiring inside of the cable now

Underpowered source=vocals are too forward. And too much bass actually.

Surprised? That is my Droid 2 Global on ICS, not a Galaxy Nexus. Even works on GSM

.
 
That being said however, my HP TouchPad drives these like a miracle. I did a little digging and found it it has essentially a beefed up version of the DAC/amp found in the SGS 1. Basically, it's SGS1 sound quality that can work with ~5-80ohm headphones sans external amp.

thats interesting, are u, or anyone really, noticing imbalance issues? and if so, is it caused by cable problems?

I thought I was at first because the centre bass guitar I'm used to in some of my songs felt a little off to the left. Then I realized that was just the recording because the vocals and everything else were in the right places. Imbalance is probably just an issue of bad luck. Hopefully, you bought yours from Amazon if you're suffering from that.

It has been stated previously that cable polarity can cause phasing issues, resulting in imbalance!  Just and FYI to check polarity!

I picked up a pair of these a year or two ago when Amazon had them for $99. I was happy to pick them up for that price, but after I got them I was let down fast. They just did not fit into my ears very well, too large for me even with the smallest inserts. I ended up selling them on Craigslist for the same price. I prerfer my Shure buds much better as they fit.

comply foam tips is the solution to that. I even forget Im wearing it sometimes.

I tried all the tips that came with them and really wanted them to work but just could not find anything that fit. Compare the size of it without tips to say the Shure, they are much larger. I use a pair of Shure E4c for flights and stuff, and an older pair of E3's for the gym and they work great. Has anyone else found them to not fit?

The comply foam tips greatly improve the fit and are very comfortable. But I didn't like the SQ changes when using them. Also inserting/removing them often is a pain in the butt.
