    Really didn't like these when I tried them, considering they are triple BAs, I don't understand why there is only treble here (albeit good treble).

    • sallan75 on 21/08/2013 - 20:47

      All I can say is you probably didn't have them in your ears properly. I use Comply foam tips with my TF10 and the sound is very balanced. Perfect for rock orientated music.

        Or maybe you haven't heard other audio products except Apple Earbuds.

          I own Alessandro MS1, Shure SRH840, Audio Technica Es7, UE TF10, UE 700, Sound Magic PL50 and have had other various brands over the years. Maybe you should keep your assumptions to yourself.

          I don't own any Apple products, never have and never will. I have owned various Cowon, Hifiman, Zune and iRivers over the years. As someone who frequents headfi.org one of the main complaints about the TF10 was people saying they are all treble, this was remedied in most situations my changing tips to get a good seal.

          TF10 are not for doof doof or electronic music in general. They are great for rock, blues, metal, etc. Sure everyone has different ears and different requirements, but if you like rock orientated music these are a steal for $169.

  • hivboy1 on 21/08/2013 - 19:30

    I think this triplefi 10 really need a good isolation from ear tip, try comply ts500 or any double flange silicon or triple will work good. Too bad I just got them last 2 weeks when I want to try compare with the sony xba4 and buy it at 199$ + 15$ for shipping from megabuy….. Anyway if anyone think this sound bad or not sound good should give it another chance at try out the different ear-tip, because this earphone is really sound good and musical for listen at any type of music.

    P/s: and for anyone have trouble to fit the comply come with triplefi 10 should look at this explain and how to use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Zc5meSooI will help alot to improve the bass and isolate.

      I did with the comply tips supplied at the store, and that's how I formed my opinion.

      IMO it's a bit better than the XBA4, since the XBA4 has way too much bass, but the newer XBA40 is miles better than this.

          For travelling I'd agree with eug. It's definitely more portable and better for long listening sessions as the m50s can get quite hot and sweaty as it encloses the ear but with the tf10 the ears get to breath.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/08/2013 - 20:49

        Replace the cables when they break.

        Or you could learn to solder

        • eug on 22/08/2013 - 11:50
          +1

          Good luck trying to solder and reinsulate an enamelled nylon-stranded wire that's broken at the ear loop (which is where they often break) while maintaining flexibility, a low profile, and mechanical strength!

        • cwongtech on 22/08/2013 - 12:21
          -2

          Reinsulate = heatshrink tubing, several layers
          Enamel = burn with lighter.
          Nylon-stranded if it's similar to the white fluff, you can fray out the copper (after burning) and cut a small piece out.

          But if it's at the ear loop, might be over :|
          Most headphone cables develop a fault at the headphone jack.

          while maintaining flexibility, a low profile, and mechanical strength!

          Flexibility = come on, it's only like 1-3cms of vulnerable wire
          Low profile = ?? what do you mean
          Mech Strength = well I guess you can either choose to spend $5 in soldering consumeables and repair the set resulting in a slightly weaker cable.. or spend money to get a completely new set?

        • eug on 22/08/2013 - 16:00
          -1

          Remember, I specifically said "that's broken at the ear loop".

          Reinsulate = heatshrink tubing, several layers

          One layer is stiff enough to make it totally impractical to bend around the ear. Multiple layers will make it as stiff as a toothpick.

          Flexibility = come on, it's only like 1-3cms of vulnerable wire

          Remember, there are two enamelled copper wires that you have to re-join. You cannot cut the two wires straight across as you can't re-enamel the soldered joints well. You can't insulate the individual wires as you'll end up with a thick blob. You'll also have to remove more insulation to insert the individual heatshrink tubes before soldering, which means your final heatshrink tubing would have to be even longer.

          To maintain electrical separation you'd offset the cuts so the joints are apart from each other - that way the joints won't touch when you put on the heatshrink. That offset will require a longer piece of heatshrink.

          Also once you have a stiff blob of solder in the middle of a soft flexible copper wire, the point where the solder blob ends and the unsoldered wire begins will be subject to higher bending fatigue.

          Low profile = ?? what do you mean

          Imagine a thick(er) piece of tubing around your earlobe that doesn't want to stay curved at the right angle. Imagine you're wearing glasses too.

          Mech Strength = well I guess you can either choose to spend $5 in soldering consumeables and repair the set resulting in a slightly weaker cable

          It's a dodgy temporary repair. That said, if a person doesn't mind the negatives, it's fine.

          The solder method can fail at any time, e.g. if your cable gets caught in a seat armrest when you get up. The cable can snap easily as there's no insulation or nylon thread to provide mechanical strength.

          People who require a proper fix would want to replace the whole cable instead. They'll get instant 100% strength and moisture resistance just like when it was brand-new.

          But if it's at the ear loop, might be over :|

          Virtually all the failures I've personally seen (I work with musicians and singers who all use IEMs) are at the ear loop where the insulation hardens and cracks allowing sweat and moisture in, eventually corroding the wire.

          I've repaired a number of Shures with nonremovable cables (a pain) and added heatshrink around the earloop as a pre-emptive measure, but sweat just gets under the heatshrink (remember the earloop is subject to a lot of bending) and eventually it hardens and cracks anyway.

        • cwongtech on 22/08/2013 - 18:48

          Remember, I specifically said "that's broken at the ear loop".

          I'm actually not sure what you mean by the "ear loop"
          Going to presume it's right where the wire enters into the driver housing, until someone tells me what the heck it is, because the TripleFi 10 doesn't seem to have a plastic hook around your ear. Then again, maybe it's an accessory.

          Remember, there are two enamelled copper wires that you have to re-join. You cannot cut the two wires straight across as you can't re-enamel the soldered joints well. You can't insulate the individual wires as you'll end up with a thick blob.

          I'm not sure why you would even want to re-enamel the soldered joints… that makes absolutely no sense, unless you are coating the solder blob.
          You can insulate the individual wires with 1mm heatshrink, just enough to cover the exposed rejoined wires to the point of unburned enamel.

          Enamel coating = literally EACH red/green/ground copper THREAD in their respective bundles cannot conduct electricity.
          Only at the very tip of it where you snip it off with, the exposed cross-section area is where you can conduct electricity through the enamel-coated wire, that is, without burning the coating off.

          Or, you know, you could always buy a replacement cable since the TripleFi 10s offer that functionality.
          Personally, I'm a cheapass x)
          I'd try the heatshrink + solder repair method (Cost $5 and an hour), before splurging $46 (that's the price I see on eBay for a TripleFi cable)

        • ThadtheChad on 22/08/2013 - 19:58
          +1

          Option 1: $5+ time fking about with solder/repair (hour+) = a shabby but serviceable fix

          Option 2: $46 + ebay search for cable = a pristine cable.

          Option 3: Mess about with Option 1; screw up badly; waste more time unfking the situation; give up and go with Option 2;

          For many people the second option is a no-brainer. For hardcore DIYers the first option is something that is viable and they would prefer that. For most folks Option 3 is what would likely occur if they are coerced down this path.

        • cwongtech on 22/08/2013 - 21:34

          Option 3 - waste more time unfking the situation

          Well, you know, you can always.. unplug the old damaged cable, that's not too much unfking right?

          The correct way to wear in-ears involves looping the cable around your ear like this:
          http://www.rosenblut.org/wp-content/gallery/triplefi10/tripl…

          The part of the cable that loops around the ear is the "ear loop". Some IEMs have "memory" wire that holds the shape of the loop as you bend it around your ear.

          I'm not sure why you would even want to re-enamel the soldered joints
          You can insulate the individual wires with 1mm heatshrink,

          You don't normally want to use that much heatshrink around the loop as you're adding thickness to a part of the cable that's meant to be flexible. That's two lengths for each wire, and one to cover the whole segment - 3 layers thick. If you pick heatshrink that is too thin, it'll be slim, but metal fatigue at the start of the joints can be a problem.

          You can't re-enamel the joint, so you cut the two wires with an offset so you don't have to insulate the two blobs. You can instead apply a conformal coating, liquid tape, or even just silicone for added protection.

          Of course if the break was not at the ear loop and simply on a straight part of the cable, heatshrink is fine, although you'll still lose a lot of mechanical strength. But as I said, I was specifically talking about the loop.

          I'd try the heatshrink + solder repair method (Cost $5 and an hour),

          Sure, since the cable is damaged there's no loss in trying to DIY it first, as long as you don't mind the possibility of it breaking or shorting your device's headphone amp suddenly when you're using it. Not everyone wants to accept that risk, or could be bothered though.

          before splurging $46 (that's the price I see on eBay for a TripleFi cable)

          If price is the main concern, this is US$19.99: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261172732192

    Doh I'm getting an out of stock message, you snooze you lose I suppose.

  • Drphods on 22/08/2013 - 13:07

    Darn it, out of stock :(

  • wayacos on 22/08/2013 - 17:07

    Sony Xba4 are absolutely brilliant.

    • Drphods on 22/08/2013 - 18:57

      I'm thinking of getting some, have you tried any others to offer a comparison? I have the XBA3s and I love them, though they lack bass.

    What is their returns policy?

    • Will these be online and in stock anytime in the future? (at this price)
    • eug on 23/08/2013 - 01:14

      I'm sure you can "return" it for a full refund to someone here who missed out. :)

    anyone received their earphones yet?

    • ironpaw on 28/08/2013 - 08:34

      Nope…what's taking so long?

      • Joyo on 28/08/2013 - 15:41

        no update online as well, mine just says
        'boxed shipment', don' even know what that means

  • Joyo on 28/08/2013 - 16:33

    just called up, it's still 'processing', no ETA yet

  • Joyo on 28/08/2013 - 22:40

    got an email to say that my order was cancelled, this is a bummer

  • carmar on 29/08/2013 - 05:58

    I got the same email. This is crap - I posted this deal to OzBargain - AFTER I purchased a set of these earphones!

    This is part of the email they sent :

    "We are aware that you have ordered the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 from our website. In a short period of time, there has been an enormous number of orders and the system was not able to show the inventory status in the shopping cart real-time. Due to this system error, I regret to inform you that we will have to cancel your order."

    Not happy!

    Has anyone NOT received this email?

  • Joyo on 29/08/2013 - 09:11

    I only received the email once I contacted them.

    They're offering a 40% coupon for anything else on site, but not really good enough

  • CKMA on 29/08/2013 - 11:44

    my order has been cancelled also. :-(

  • Headphones on 29/08/2013 - 12:01

    I'm curious, for any people who have had their order cancelled - did you pay via Paypal or Credit Card? I paid with Paypal.

  • Nitr0 on 29/08/2013 - 12:08

    I haven't received an email yet. Paid via paypal.

  • Joyo on 29/08/2013 - 12:12

    paid via credit card, checked credit card, no money taken out

  • Joyo on 29/08/2013 - 12:14

    they gave me a 40% discount code, which means I could get the UE900 for $300, but that's a bit rich
