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)

hi yongC, try jaben at Adelphi.. try calling them at 6337 0809

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..

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.

+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..
-
city electronics has it.. going for around 300 i believe
-
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..
-
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
-
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
-
yup using ipod through LOD but my eq is set to flat. still hear it though. probably clipping as what bpribadi has mentioned
-
interesting.. thanks

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?

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.

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?
