QUOTE(ezekiel_77 @ Jul 6 2017, 03:09 PM) Yeah... their lead times are quite long. Besides reshelling (and retuning) third-party IEMs, they make AAW CIEMs too. And AFAIK they are the only company other than Lear that has the add drivers + reshell IEM option, which some use to upgrade their old SE535/TF10 into a new CIEM. Last year I kena lagi worse... they sent my AAW CIEM to the wrong Jaben in Jakarta! Total wait for my CIEM was nearly 4 months... and to add insult to injury, I had to get a refit. Was it worth the wait? Kinda. Sound damn good anyway lol. 4 months? I'd be damn pissed if they do not give some sort of compensation for their own mistake...

Might've been some miscommunication along the way. But credit to Jaben too for tracing and retrieving my parcel in Indon. In my second dealing with AAW, this time direct, it went smoothly. I think you went this route. Cheer up haha.

zamorinGot my TF10 reshell back from AAW yesterday, after 6 weeks plus of waiting initial impression: pro: better seal more details more bass high extend but not hurting cons: soundstage narrower vocal move backwards bass less punchier (not sure tho cuase been using JVC dual dynamic drivers iem for the last six weeks, maybe just because of the false comparison...) overall still a good solution for a broken TF10 or if you are having the fit problem

Your CIEM looks really nice including the cable. I cant do a SQ comparison because of the limited time I had with them. Do you have warranty on them? Do you prefer the reshelled SQ or original TF10? thx

I also changed mine from 2-pin to mmcx connector, should have stuck with 2-pin

same thing, my 1st ciem as well and I was expecting a 100% seal but its not and if I were to move slightly, the SQ changes significantly. So that's a bit of a WTF!

Sad to hear about both your experiences about CIEM... which is why I am still holding on strong to my TF10. Always wanted to experience CIEM for that "perfect fit" but I guess its not that easy!

No CIEM will give you 100% isolation. Even 90% (which to me I still consider near damn impossible) is considered damn good. Silicone CIEM should provide better isolation than acrylic.

Hi Guys...
Would like to check if it's possible for my UE Pro 4 to somehow deteriorate after long term usage?
I own this pair of custom IEM for about 1 and a half year now but recently somehow it started to sound hollow/tiny/soft? I have to bump my volume up from 12% to 25%.
Tried it with different cables and still face the same result.
