But i do find the isolation superb so till now I've assumed that i have a good seal with them. And as I've mentioned I don't find them bass heavy at all compared to the original TF10s contrary to impression of the others in this thread. Is there another way to test my seal? Or does that test prove that I have a bad seal? |

I compared my customs to my TF10 initially and found the TF 10 excel in Highs However after 2-3 hrs of burn in, with out hearing them the highs on my customs improved and now sound better any wayz review soon Thanks to UM for creating gems for me . really worth the money ! |

Because of this test I now know that the polarity of my customs are reversed. I did the test with my SE530x8 with the TWag with the dot facing upwards (as it should be) when wearing them and I could barely hear the low tone. With the Westone cable also with the dot facing upwards I could hear the low tone better. At this time I thought that I was ******* with the TWag because it had at least 250 hours of burnin time and still no The weirdest thing is that with the Westone cable and switching polarity there was only a slightly boost in bass it was very difficult to hear the difference. But with the TWag it was night and day, no bass or So I have been listening and burning in for almost 3 weeks now with the wrong polarity. Can this hurt my customs? This polarity switch might be a good tip for everybody that has issues with SQ and their customs. I'm interested to know how many people is walking around with switched polarity. For those who want to know the dot is connected to the green wire in my customs. Now I have to spend some quality time with my SE530x8 and TWag cable. |
