    I think you may be able to use a replacement cable for TripleFi 10vi ($19.99) with your earphones.

     

    How do I replace the cables? There does not seem to be a plug where you can pull the cable out from the earphones?

     

    Initial impression using my Iphone and Zen Vision is that the Triple Fi 10 has got a lot more bass weight as compared to my previous Shure E4C. The mid and highs seems to be better defined too. Diana Krall seems to have more presence and body and more "real". Instruments such as guitar from Lee Ritenour and John Mclaughlin, saxophone from David Sanborn and Sadao Watanable never sounded so real before on the E4C. I believe the Triple Fi 10 is not completely run-in yet. Anyone know how many hrs to run-in this set?

    I also dunno what's the difference. I totally missed the deal, but a friend who bought 2 sets let me have one of them. It's a steal at US$99. Logitech and UE's website does not seem to list the pro.

     

    Interestingly, the page title for UE's TF10 page says "Pro" but the page itself doesn't.

    I should have bought 2 sets as well but was in a hurry to pick up my daughter from tuition and not familiar and not sure how good these IEMs are, I dare not commit to 2 sets when I executed the order. I used to have the Shure E4C before it broke down and this will be a replacement. Will this sound better than the Shure E4C?

    Anyone know what is the difference between this and the TripleFi 10 Pro

    Thanks!

     

    Actually I am asking for the difference between TripleFi 10 and TripleFi 10 Pro, because I read most on-line reviews referring to the TripleFi 10 Pro.

    Too bad, I bought it too early as about a few hrs later, they were offering the Triple Fi 10 Vi version for the same price which I missed. I would love to use the VI version on my Iphone. Now I am waiting for Vpost to ship it to me. I will probably buy the accessories in Singapore as suggested.

    Hi,l a friend is looking for best price for the above earphones. What is the current best price and who is the dealer here.

     

    As for me, I am using the E4C. Do you think it makes much difference in sound quality to upgrade it to SE530? I am currently using a Creative Zen Vision 60Gb.

    annapurnas is the h320

     

    Mine is the 340. About 2 wks since I bought it and I've ripped almost 2000 songs mostly on WMA at 192. Too lazy to use OGG as it takes too long on my old computer.

     

    As for my EW9, it is probably less than 30 hrs. Any ideal how long it takes belong runnin in?

     

    The meet was a success and thanks to Martin for organising it. Learnt a lot from all the regular forummers especially fun trying out the various headsets and portable amps.

    Hi,

    as I juz got the H320, would like to ask which firmware is stable and required to use so that I could play video/ .avi files on the iriver H320 ?

     

    are they located at any of the below link (H300 Firmware V1.27) :-

     

    Firmware for H3000 series

    Also , shld I download the (eu),(kr) or (jp) version ?

     

    thankyou.

     

    I've the 340 downloaded the 1.27 Europe version and I have no problem watching the sample video from the same Iriver website. The only problem is finding other videos that can be played back on the 320/340 as it needs to be the exact specs as in the download specs.

    Thought u looking for H430... 

     

    It is my mistake. It should be H340. Went to Sim Lim Square during lunch. The best price that I was quoted from Song Bros was $699 inclu GST but they claimed they have no stock and only have 1 last display set left. Three other shops (Merdeka and two others I can't remember) quoted $765 inclusive of GST. Maybe should visit Sitex on Thursday as they usually bundle with free gifts during shows.

    Well, in answer to your questions, COME for the mini dap portables meet in march. I am using iRiver H340 and I'll be bringing along shure E5c + Etymotics Er-4s and plugged into pocket amp version 2. Isn't this a perfect show for you?

     

    I'll most likely attend the gathering unless something urgent crops up. Would definitely like to meet all the gurus and learn something from them biggrin.gif . Let me know the location. As for the Iriver H340, how much is it and where can I get the best price?

    I havn't heard about the Naim Headline yet. Now I'm pretty steered towards the sound of the beyers. HD600 seems a little of of contention now  This amp thing is making me very stressed! haha...But I am looking forward to listening to the beyers 880pro on a fellow forumer's cayin ha-1a. That's one affordable tube for me, even though I didn't like them initially!

     

    If you like to hear the sound of the Naim Headline, drop me a PM and you are welcome to audition it at my place.

    Thanks to all of you who responded to my queries. It really provides me alot of insight to the world of portable headphone amps that I'm totally unfamiliar with. I managed to buy a Dr Xin Super Mini over the weekend from a fellow forumer and I'm very happy with it.

     

    My next step is to buy a canal or earphones and a MP3 player. Would really like to compare the Shure E3C and ER4P which I heard are comparable in sound quality. Any advise on this?

     

    As for MP3 player, have added Iriver to my shortlist, the H340. Wondering anyone who is using it can comment the sound quality compared to IPOD and Creative. I listen to all types of music, pop, rock, jazz, new age, folk, classical.

     

    Thank you once again!

    I'm thinking of buying a portable headamp, likely to be used with a Creative Zen or Apple Ipod. The amp will be used for driving a Sennheisser HD600 (which I already owned) or a Etymotic ER6 or Shure E3C which I'm thinking of getting.

     

    I'm new to portable amps and headphones and maybe some of you expert can help me. Is the Headroom Total airhead any good or other amps that are better in value?

     

    Thanking you in advance.

     

    Note - for my home system, I'm using a Naim Headline to drive the HD600.
