 be aware of durability issues November 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
first of all, these are some of the best headphones money can buy, however, UE has severe problems in my opinion when it comes to cable durability, i am a producer, and music professional, and use these every day, i also have used the shure e3c in the past and various types of etymotic. i own a pair of triple.fi and these super.fi, i use the triple.fi mainly for working out, listening to ipod, etc. and use the triple.fi for work. however, these have not proven to be durable when it relates to being in the gym. i am not the kindest to these as they are my workhorse pair, so often i would roll them up and place them in my bag, however, beyond that, i did nothing out of the ordinary with them, and have suffered from a broken cable leading up to the left ear, and the cable coming loose from the right ear monitor. i definetly recommend these, with a warning, be prepared, almost no matter what. a year from now, to be calling ultimate ears needing a replacement cable.
 Worth the cost October 20, 2008
Ordered just before a long flight, really made a difference compared to the cheap earbuds I have been using. Comfortable fit and amazing audio quality. As others have noted, a low quality recording will sound worse. I noticed a big improvement with large WMA files compared to MP3's...you can actually hear the difference when listening with a computer,quality is a bit lower with a PDA. Definitely recommend.
Best in-ear phones I've ever used October 16, 2008

I'm usually not an in-ear guy since the ones that hook onto your earlobe hurt my ears and usually sound horrible. But I wanted some nice phones for travel that were smaller than studio monitors or those Bose status symbols you see the people in first class sporting.
The UE's are great sound-wise, I have absolutely no complaints. They are better than the Shure E3C phones I used to use for certain. They are also pretty good noise cancelers, they drown out normal-level conversations nearby and most of the plane captain tour guide commentary, seatbelt reminders, and airline mile credit card sales pitches. Nothing will completely get rid of engine noise, because, well, physics is a pain. But these do pretty well. Also because they're passive, they don't use electronics that inevitably screw up your original music, and better yet, they don't need batteries.
Another great thing is that these headphones are very electrically sensitive, which means you get a lot of volume for a fairly low setting on your iPod or device of choice. I guess this means you could crank it if you really hate your ears, but to me it means that my iPod will go longer driving these than driving the much bigger speakers in a larger set of phones.
I doubt you'll regret getting these, *except* if they don't fit well in your ears. I had no troubles, and I usually do, so what else can I say.
Simply Great! October 12, 2008

These are the best headphones I have ever owned. I've been able to stack them up against the Shure's some friends of mine own and we all agree the Ulimate Ears are the best. Money well spent.
Good audio fidelity October 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After purchasing this product I was dismayed that the standard flanges didn't fit me, that's when I tried the foam ones and they worked! They created a good seal in my ear and were comfortable. Listeining to some music I was very satisfied on how the sound was reproduced. Bass was there and it wasn't booming or thumpy. Middle range and high were crisp and clear. I guess it all comes down to the quality of your music collection, low bit mp3 will come through on these audiophile level earbuds. So make sure your music collection is up to par.
