Ultimate Ears - SuperFi 4 Earbud Earphones - Black/Silver

First the pros: the audio is fantastic, superb highs and mid range with a tight controlled bass. For those people who say there is no bass, you have to crank your ipod to 70% to hear the bass, which is very good. The build of the shell is sturdy. Another pro is it comes with a bunch of ear pieces for a good fit. The cons: I bought mine a couple weeks ago and liked them a lot. This is not my first set of UE's from the company, so I trust the brand. After a few days the ear pieces started getting stuck in my ear and I would have to dig them out. Then about three weeks after i got them the cord broke for no reason. I returned them the following day. Long story short, they replaced them, no questions asked. The current pair are doing much better. They are tuned a little bit better also. Every thing is a little better with these! My advice, If you want this brand but want more bass, go with the 220's. If you like a controlled bass and superb highs and mids, then these are for you! Music genre I use them for: rock and jazz

This is a great sounding set of headphones. The mids and highs are excellent. They are very comfortable, even for extended periods of time. My music sounds more crisp than ever before. Many different sizes of tips for maximum comfort. For some bass junkies, the low end may be lacking, but i just adjusted my equalizer to compensate for this.

I first loved these ear-buds for their sound quality, it is really clear, and the noise cancellation works really well. But i use my earphones everywhere and in every situation. The first time I had those, they last for like 2month, i then went exchange them and the same problem happened again after only 3month: problem at the connection, and the sound started interrupting. These headphones are definitely excellent sound quality, but you probably want to look for more resistant pairs if like me you wanna be able to use them everywhere, and not only in your room or in the plane.

There was a lot of hype surrounding these monitors, and for the price, I thought they'd outshine the Bose In-Ears. Once the price became more reasonable, I figured I'd scoop-up a pair. I own the entry-level MetroFi 170s and am quite impressed with their performance. I expected the SuperFi 4s to take me to even greater heights in pure audio enjoyment. These come with many different sizes of silicone cushions, and two sets of the foam Comply cushions. Both types work well, but I feel the silicone cushions offer the best sound quality. The Comply cushions are far more comfortable and less likely to slide out and break the seal, but they absorb some of the sound, especially on the higher end. Immediately out of the box, I noticed that these play louder than the MetroFi 170s. I'm not sure if that's better, but these do play a little louder at lower volumes. I also noticed that there isn't a whole lot of bass, with these SuperFi 4s. By comparison, the MetroFi 170s are thirty times better. I personally like balanced, full-bodied sound.....with a slight emphasis on the bass. With the SuperFi 4s, you get a little bit, but for the price it's just not enough. Not for me. I like to "feel" the bass, rather than just "hear" it. These SuperFi 4s are great-looking in-ear monitors that provide an extremely loud and detailed sound, but after trying to break them in over the two weeks that I've owned them, I'm unsatisfied with the bass output. They are great monitors, and provide very clear and bright sound. The highs and mids are awesome, but the lower end is lacking, and for a bass junkie like me, that's unacceptable. I will just stick to my MetroFi 170s. They aren't quite as comfortable, but the backs are ported and offer a whole lot more bass. And, they were much cheaper.

First of all, I picked these up on sale at best buy for around $40, and I was expecting average quality headphones at best. But when I plugged these in for the first time I was absolutely blown away. The high's couldn't be any better and the mid's don't disappoint either. The bass leaves a little bit to be desired, but with the proper EQ settings I can get the exact sound I want. I have had these for about six months now and that is about four months longer than most headphones last, the cord and connector do look a bit flimsy but so far they have held up to a substantial amount of abuse. Overall these headphones have proved to be an excellent choice for me, if you feel high quality bass is an absolute priority they may not be for you, but with the mid's and high's on these I am more than satisfied.

I had bought the Lady Gaga headphones and returned them for these because they did not stay in my ears. These fit fine in my ears, i was able to work out with them and they didnt fall out but i think that was the only thing i liked about them. I tried changing the EQ on my ipod and nothing worked, the bass is horrible. I have some $10 headphones as backup and they dont sound great either but I preffer listening to those, at least until I find better ones. Not sure about the durability but chord does look pretty filmzy. Do not buy, you will regret it.

I had intended to get the lower end Metrofi series earbuds but they were out of stock. These are rightfully rated qutie high on various sites. The sound is great, they have excellent clarity and are generally well balanced. I would like a bit more low end punch, but that is difficult to get in this type of application.

The sound quality of these are better than all of my other earbuds, and I have used a bunch. If you fit well with Shure and Sony, these will fit you fine. They do not have the buzz that Shures does during low volume and they have better fidelity than most Sonys. At a sale price of $60, these are a steal. Buy them.
