UE triple.fi 10 pro

Strengths: gorgeous clean sound. clear and articulate through all the ranges.

Weakness: had massive trouble getting a good seal

i got these babies for brilliant sound on the go and they have not disappointed. i was on the road for the last 3 months with no access to a full on sound system and thanks to the puppies, i didn't have to sacrifice any sound quality. once i got a good seal- it didn't matter where i was~ noisy bus/subway/plane, close my eyes and it was as if i got transported to the front row of the concert. i listen to most every but rap, and these guys are awesome throughout with enough bass for any rock/rnb/hip hop that i happened to play, ridiculous clarity and nicely articulated highs and mids for my jazz and robin thicke.

the only problems that i came across was the fact that my ear canals are just so much smaller than [presumedly] average. i had a ton of trouble getting a good seal and the the double flanged tops just barely cut it.. and only gave a really good seal on occasion- though the sound quality was well worth wrestling these kids in. i finally decided to go get custom tips made, but as it were, i was in asia and not speaking enough of the language, couldn't find a vendor. HOWEVER, i did find several places that sold replacement tips and the smallest of these just happened to fit me perfectly. -it seems that the standard tips in taiwan will fit UE earbuds.

so in conclusion, i totally recommend these buds regardless of the price point. yes, the $400 price tag is kind of hard to swallow, but i just see it as i'll never have to buy another pair of earbuds again. and if you have problems w/ fit, well, after spending $400 on the buds, you may as well get custom fitted tips. ..or try picking up a $2 pack of replacement tips from taiwan. : )

Awesome!

Strengths: Clarity, balance, stay put, comfort

Weakness: Price?

I had the Super.fi Pros for 2 years before upgrading to the Triple.fis and while the Pros are an excellent value (in my opinion the best price-performance dual-driver in-ear monitors or IEMs as they are often called), the Triples are simply exceptional. Music is more balanced and clearer compared to the Pros and, as a result, I am hearing different instruments and beats that I couldn't hear before with the Pros. Isolation is also excellent and I feel that, for some reason, they are even more comfortable than the Pros. People have complained that they stick out of your ears, but to me this helps them stay put and not move with your every movement. Fit is a very personal thing but, unlike the Shures, the Ultimate Ears IEMs stay in my ears even with the plastic tips and I don't even need the foam ones. I highly recommend them but you should try them out because a proper fit and seal is instrumental (pun intended) for music to sound right and for that much needed noise-block on the morning commute. I should say that from my experience Ultimate Ear IEMs are very durable--my Pros are still like new, whereas I had to replace my Shures E4--so that, and the exceptional sound quality and fit, should justify the high price. The replaceable cables are also a great idea.

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro

Based on the UE-10 Pro, the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro is a universal earphone. With a slightly more neutral sound than the UE-11 pro, the Triple.fi 10 Pro remains very musical, being at one time a standard for all other IEMs. Featuring a 3-driver armature design, the Triple.fi 10 Pro can reproduce frequencies even full sized headphones have difficulty with, but like most high quality, low...
