Unfreakin Believable!!! [Posted on 2008-06-20]
Just got these babys. Plugged them in, turned on Xanadu by Rush and had an out of body experience. These earphones are absolutely amazing. i can't put in words the experience I just had listening to songs I have heard 1000 times before. All I can say is Bose Who?
Excellent Choice!! [Posted on 2008-06-24]
I gotta say, I'm not one for reviews but have to speak up after a long search while looking for some in ear type earphones. I looked all over, lots of reading of reviews on the different earphones, I finally decided to buy these based on quality, usage, comfort and price. I couldn't be happier! These things are great!
Was looking at buying the more expensive triple.fi 10 Pro's ($350) or the Shure SE530 ($430). Those models are 2 or 3 times the price of these Super.fi 5 pro's but there is just no way they are 2 or 3 times better, if at all!! I don't think I'm quite the "audiophile" many others are so that may be a factor. I enjoy listening to all genre's of music from rap, rock, country, pop, techno, metal and classical. Everything really. My usual sources are CD's, iPod or plug in to computer or stereo equipment. More a casual user who just wanted a little more for my listening pleasure.
So just appreciate good music, good sounds and was looking for an improvement over the normal iPod earbuds or the over the ear headphones which I enjoy but can be inconvinient. By the way, I have the Bose On-Ear cans that run about $180 and really like them. Great Base and good overall sound. But wanted something compatible but smaller & more convenient. I tried the Bose Earbuds at about $99 and didn't like the fit and the sound wasn't that "noticeable" difference compared to the iPod Earbuds. A small upgrade, but I wanted more. Better. So off I went looking for more.
I got "more" with the U.Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro's without spending an arm & a leg! Fantastic improvement over the iPod Earbuds, and better than the Bose in-ear and worth the extra money. I tried the Shure E4 and these were just better. Better overall sound & fit. Practically same price and while both were an upgrade, these just sound better. The Super.Fi 5 pro's are comfortable, deliver nice base, great sound with all Genre's of music and with minimal noise leaking. I can listen to loud music without disturbing other around me. Gives you a good seal in an excellent sound isolating earphone.
Look, the triple.fi 10 pro's and the Shure SE530's are great, but 2 to 3 times better? They are good, but I just don't see that big of a difference especially for that much money. And for what I'm using them for which is mostley listening to my iPod or CD Player are they worth the extra $200 to $250 more? I say these Super.fi 5 pro's are excellent and exactly what I was looking for.
Great earphones and good price point.
I must have been unlucky [Posted on 2008-07-04]
After reading the reviews, I figured these were just what I was looking for. However, the pair I received has really poor sound quality. There was a significant amount of distortion.
be aware of its durability problem... [Posted on 2008-08-05]
I ordered this last November on amazon.com and it was priced at $159.99 then. Everything seemed to be perfect and I was happy, until two weeks ago, when the wire near the end of the earphone's plug-in started to malfunction with an intermittent on-and-off for the left earphone. First, I have been very careful in terms of use, not abusing it in any way, especially with the wire. Secondly, I do use it almost every day, mostly in the morning when doing my morning exercise. Now, I am not sure it's still under a guaranty, or to do some repair on my own. In order to highlight this caution of mine, I give it only one star, even though it does worthy a 4 start rating.
not worth the premium [Posted on 2008-09-04]
I was intrigued by all the positive press this item gets - especially positive user reviews. Can't say the product is bad, but it certainly doesn't impress me as being worth the premium. Certainly other ear buds sound equally good that I have used. And the fit is a bit awkward I found with all of the attachements. These buds are very poor for running / jogging as you can hear even the slightest movement in your ear canal. I struggle to get these things to stay in my ear well. Am returning.
