I'm going to sound like a broken record, having said this already on Head-Fi and Amazon, but it must be done.

In my entire hi-fi journey, the triple.fi 10 Pro was one of the very few that I ever regretted selling. I prefer their spacious, light, and almost Grado-like sound to most other "top-tier" IEMs, such as the Shure SE530 and Westone 3.

This purchase is definitely worth pushing me towards near-broke, and this deal is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I personally wouldn't get the microphone version. One more thing to possibly break (even though the cable is replaceable). I'd only get it if you have them in your ears a lot AND you have an iPhone.

Okay, I just cancelled the order with the mic and ordered the non-mic one. Thanks for the advice. Sweet, this deal is really hot if you want a high quality IEM. Only thing better are custom earpieces.

They're using the same low quality plug they use in the low end models :/

For the people who are getting this: take extremely good care of these. I'm talking every time you stop using them, unplug them and stick them in the case. Never stick them in your pocket or they will fray on you within 2 months. The same thing happened to me, despite taking pretty good care of them.

Good to know.

I already keep my ER6i's in a case whenever I'm not using them, so doing the same for these should be easy.

Yeah, the same could be said for most IEMs, unfortunately. I unplug any IEM from the source and gently wrap them up and put them in their supplied case.

@kinubic: Even if you come to the conclusion that you don't like them, at least you know you only paid $100 for the experiment, and not $300+

I'm just making sure, the one's with the mic can be reshelled into customs and still retain full mic/skip functionality, right? Just being paranoid at the moment.

Oh, and this so beats RE252 for $100 =]

I got both earphone and earphone with mic.
Hope the deal was worth it.

Saw the deal on SD....lots of simpletons with moronic comments over there....LAWL!

I hate you for posting this, lol.

I just bought a new plasma TV and receiver, so this is definitely going way over budget. Especially since I just had to get a Cowon S9 to go along with them.
