Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

Yeah, I haven't really followed the Heir thread much since I got my JH16..the wood and horn faceplates look very nice, and I also like the way they do the carbon fiber, but it would really have to be something compelling to get me to change from my JH..The UE900 looks nice, but I really don't want to put $400 down, since I've only got $140 in my TF10 with the reshell and I'm using it as my gym phone.

 
Same, I have JH13 and it's like... too much trouble even if it is better. I like my 13's better than LCD-2 but I gotta keep LCD-2's around when I get tired of having monitors in.

TF10s shipped off to inearz. Guess it's back to the fx40 for a while. Seems worth it to have TF10s that actually fit well.

How much did you pay for remold?

They don't charge until they are ready to ship back, but I'm thinking it will be 90(remold) + 30 (cable)  + 9.5 (shipping) + 5.5 (my shipping). I also requested clear tips, but not sure if they'll charge extra for that.

Does inearz accept request for replacing TF10 cable and connecter to be replaced with shure 535 ones, shure cables are easy to replace and pins do not break while changing the cables..

Shure is the same as Westone which is Fisher's stock socket.  Somebody back me up on this...Shure/Westone/JH/UE Custom are all the same socket.

I would back you up, but I have no clue how you figured out what exactly he was asking. I see no mention of socket, so I am still lost as to what he means.

The shure sockets are MMCX, not the traditional 2-pin westone type, so they aren't the same!

I believe he wants to let his custom( i think!) have the shure MMCX connector, rather than the traditional JH/UM/Westone pins.

Shure uses an different connector, I forgot what it's called but it looks like coaxial type instead of two pins. It's a shell with either a female/male end and it just snaps on/off.

Fisher uses Westone/JH/UE custom size pins which are TF10 length and gap, but slightly thicker for better retention.

I was referring to 535 sockets, found from many threads they are more durable and no hassle for changing the cables as Chris pointed out.. I was planning to reshell my  TF10 and 535 sockets would be better option….anyone has experience with TF10 been reshelled with different sockets?

Now I understand, IMHO not a bad idea. BUT, doing a reshell made the socket for my TF10 MUCH better than the stock way it sits in the stock TF10. I feel its no longer as issue for swapping cables. I did in fact have a set of the TF10 have the socket come out tearing the wires also. I no longer feel like OMG better not try and remove the cable for fear of breaking, I also had InEarZ use the stock TF10 socket for my reshell since I knew my FiiO cable would work. I also had the Shure SE215 before these and have heard of issues with their socket to cable connection having issues after a while.

It's honestly not a terrible idea but if it's too much trouble, I honestly feel that Fishers execution of the Westone/JH pins is quite fantastic if you use their supplied cable. I have them myself and they're made well. I don't work for them, I've just always held them in high esteem regarding quality and service.

My TF10 reshells are with JH custom cables so I can swap cables without having to buy anything else. Haha, yes I still buy cables.

So I'm planning on buying these during Black Friday, but I heard they have a bad fit, and I don't wanna fork out extra(on cables or w/e), I only wanna buy the earphones.
My other option is the VSONIC GR06, which is considerably cheaper, so which should I buy? Will I eventually get used to the fit...? Or...?

It's not really a matter of getting used to the fit, it's more will they fit. Some people have all kinds of problems, wearing them upside down back to front and others have no problem at all.

This all depends on your ear shape and / or the provided tips agreeing with you. I think for the time you may be waiting for black Friday sales, plus the small window frame allowed to purchase you may possibly be disappointed after a loong wait.

It's entirely up to you, though with the right fit and price TF10 is the better IEM.

You've convinced me, I don't think I can wait 1 month.
They'll be my first IEM, I've only ever listened to various earbuds, so this will be exciting.
