  1. Hi, as per thread title. Im looking for a pair of full sized headphones, budget around or below $1000. I used to own a pair of Grado SR80is but i sold them the moment i got my UE TF10s.. so i guess im more inclined towards the sound signature of UE.. Looking for a pair of headphones cos i get ear-ache after prolongued use of my TF10s.. no idea why though.. saw a doctor but he couldnt find anything wrong with my hearing/ear whatsoever.. so i dont know if its the fit.. im using them with comply foams. I havent had much experience with full sized headphones other than my Grados and a pair of Koss Portapros.. any recommendations?? PS: if the headphones require amplification please recommend a suitable amp too! My current setup: ipod classic + LOD Fiio e5.. looking to upgrade my amp if i get a proper full sized headphone.. I love clarity.. not really a basshead. Love the separation of instruments. Great fan of soundstage (Hotel california!) Love vocals (beyonce, alicia keys) Occasional jazz/mambo (buble/rosemary clooney). Not a huge fan of rap and hard rock. Thanks for your suggestions! And if possible give me a ballpark figure of the price of the headphones + amp (if one is needed)
  2. hi yongC, try jaben at Adelphi.. try calling them at 6337 0809
  3. tried the ajays 2 and ajays 3.. preferred the 2.. mids seemedmore forward but i only listened for a short time.. the ajays 3 had bass that was too muddy for my liking ajays 3 is 98 while 2 is 78 dollars..
  4. what do you mean when "it sounds really bad?" im using an ipod classic (5.5?6th Gen? - 80gb) with LOD -> Fiio e5 and it sounds pretty good to me. listened to my friend's creative zen x-fi and i honestly couldnt tell a significant difference. i even find that my classic sounds better. (Flat EQ) Have not listened to the popular cowon or sony mp3 players so i cant comment on them. PS: im also using tf10.
  5. +1 for this.. i've seen many online retailers selling claimed OEM version also.. but i believe its fake.. anyone has compared both the retail and OEM versions? interested to know..
  6. city electronics has it.. going for around 300 i believe
  7. the way i see it.. reshelling an already awesome product isnt a risk worth taking.. like what many people have said. a company like UE probably spends thousands tuning and crafting the sound for the TF10 and i think its more than the housing that changes when you do a reshell..
  8. icic.. initially when i change from silicon to foam i felt that foam was a bit muffled. dunno why also. seems fine now though. just wanna try something else heh
  9. OT a bit.. has anyone tried double/triple flanges on a TF10 before? how will it affect the SQ? im thinking of getting a pair soon.. after my complys are used up
  10. yup using ipod through LOD but my eq is set to flat. still hear it though. probably clipping as what bpribadi has mentioned
  11. Hi all, im currently using the comply foam tips that came with my UE TF10s. However, i cant seem to get a good seal using the foams, perhaps im wearing it wrongly. How do you guys wear it?? is it supposed to easily slip off when im wearing it? How do i know whether im getting a good enough seal? Eg. when i remove my silicons from my ears they make a "pop" sound so i know im getting a good seal. What about comply foams?
  12. I just realised that while listening to Andrea Bocelli's The Prayer (Duet with Celine Dion) in lossless i get a bit of a crackling sound on the highs.. is this normal or are my drivers faulty? i dont seem to hear the same crackling sound when i play it through my desktop speakers.
  13. check pm. by the way, anyone have any suggestions as to how i should store and care for my tf10s? my friend recommended putting silica sachets in with the earphone case. anything else i should take note of?
