Hi,


After a year of listening to my triple.fi's...i a little bored with it. I normally listen to classical and pop music and would want a pair of iem to be warmer but not exciting to the triple.fi's.

Or should I change my triple.fi's to customs, and what's the difference (e.g. will the sound be warmer)?

Thank you!

Which triple-fi's do you have?

There is only one triple fi regarding SQ.

If you do not find TF10Pro's exciting (which I do) I would not recommend SE530, UM3X, or IE8 which are also on the warm, laid back side.

You want exciting? Go for W3. Selling the TFP's and spening another $180 for new W3's is a better option than customizing TFP's. I would think the TFP's would be the size of golf balls by the time you put a custom tip on it.

WOW. this is the EXACT same thing that happened to me, it was exactly 1 year, and I realized I was bored. I sold them for $200, bought JH Audio JH5's,,....

The sound of the UM customized TF10pro is much bigger I would say, but I wouldn't say more exciting. Even the sound stage is bigger, the bass is deeper, the sound is fuller. I wouldn't say warmer.

I really like the Triple.Fi sound quality. Their HF and LF extension is the best of the IEMs I have. Their sound stage is enormous. The Westone 3s can be a bit more "fun" on some music, but only the Triple.Fi's hit the 32 foot pipes on a pipe organ the way I think they should sound. Due to the way they fit and their very low microphonics, the Westone 3s suit me better for exercise.

Has there been a change in the sound? One pair of my UE Super.Fi 5 Pro's once condensed water on one of the drivers during a long winter outing which killed the HF in that ear. After it dried out, it seemed about 99% back to normal, but maybe missing the last 1%, which might have been a subjective negative imprint on my psyche.

That is a lot of IEMs you got there. I agree that super.fi 5 pro is very well made. Mine survived the wrath of washing machine 3 times before seeing any abnormally.

I liked my TF10's but liked my UM3X more. The Westones are warmer. The UM3X was perfect for me, but the Westone 3 is the spicier Westone, and if you're looking for that sort of thing, that's where you might go.
