Just bought the SE215 to replace my broken Triple Fi 10's. I was hoping the SE215 would sound similar to my Shure SRH-840 cans, but they're very different. SE215 have much more bloated bass and lack any clear highs, which are faint and sibilant.
Didn't want to spend much since I rarely use IEMs anymore (IEMs=0-3hr/week, home cans=10-20hr/week) but it seems you truly get what you pay for.
Has anyone used a reshelling service for IEMs? Reshelling might fix my TF10's problem, but it seems quite steep at ~$150US plus audiologist fee for ear impressions.

The connector on the earbuds is flawed. The pin gets bent over time resulting in a loose connection. With the IEMs you'll want to make sure you have a good seal to get the best sound. I've found foam tips the best for comfort and seal. Though, as a owner of TF10's, I think I'm preaching to the choir.
IMO, they're less bloaty than Kilpsch R6's, but I would gather it's much more bloaty then triple driver TF10's.
XiaoMi is coming with triple driver IEMs for cheap. Right now they have dual driver IEMs available. I'm going to try them out.
I've had the piston 3's for about a year now, no sign of breaking thus far. I've gone through a lot of comply tips though. I'm hoping for a warmer sound with the new model that I've ordered.
