Hello guys!
I just want to know about the polarity of my earphones. I've lost my original cable. Which picture is right - Nr.1. or Nr.2. and how do you know it - how can you be sure about it.
Thanks!

Both pictures are wrong.
 
Looking at both earphones the way they are arranged together in each of those pictures, the signal contact is on the left and the ground on the right on each earpiece.  They're not opposite of each other like in those pictures.
Yes, I have my own TF10, stock cable, and a digital multimeter.

Ok, then which earpiece in this picture (picture with the 3.5 jack) is shown correct?
(Left) or (Right)?

Both are correct in that blue picture with the two earpieces next to a 3.5mm plug.

Yes, that's what I first said.  Yes, like I said, I have the stock cable and a multimeter and figures it out using the two.
 
That plug has the same shape as the one that I just put on my MTPC, lol.

Here's another picture I found of TF10 with the correct polarity marked out.

Considering this thread comes up in google searches for Triple fi 10 polarity it might come in handy.
