"Wouldn't recommend"

After all of the glowing reviews, I thought these would be exactly what I was looking for in a headphone. But, after getting them and trying them out, I was really disappointed. They are very uncomfortable to wear regardless of the in-ear adapter that you wear. But, even more disappointing was the sound quality of the earphone itself. It sounded really flat and in all honesty, my ipod earphones sounded better. I do know that earphones are supposed to "warm up" after playing them for an extended period of time, but there was no way that I was going to take a $250 gamble on these on the hope that these uncomfortable headphones would "maybe" sound better than the ipod earphones I was hoping to replace.
"WOW. Blown away by these earphones"

I am the type of shopper that waits, and waits and researches and researches until there is nothing left to review. My earphone purchase was no exception, and i spent weeks and weeks scouring the internet for every review and comparison in my price point. I'll be honest, i went cheap and bought the Klipsch S4i's before i bought these. While those earphones certainly are decent for the price, i was not THAT impressed and felt there must be better earphones. So i returned the Klipsch and made the plunge for the Ultimate Ears super.fi Pros, mainly because they were on sale for $219!
$219 for earphones is certainly not cheap, and i felt the same way as many who are considering these but hesistant to due to the price tag. However, if clear, crisp and rich sound is what you are looking for, then the price is a steal for these. The mids and highs are absolutely spot on (i hear instruments and sounds that i didnt before on songs i have exhaustively played over and over again...absolutely amazing). The bass is good too, perfect for me. it doesnt pound out the other sounds and overtakes the music. I actually tried the extended bass version about a year ago, and they were good until they broke. but you will sacrifice the mids and highs for the bass if you go that route. From ipod earphones, sony in-ear, klipsch s4s, ultimate ears EB and Ultimate ears super.fi 5 pros, i honestly can say the super.fi's are notably better and worth the price. You will not regret your purchase. If you are a bass junkie, that is the only person id suggest trying the EBs first or comparing them somehow.
"Great sound ... tricky to get in the ear right!"

I have used these earphones for a little under 2 years. I have small ear canals so getting a good seal has been tricky. However, with some practice I managed to get a pretty good sound. These are great sounding phones for the audio savy. I can really hear my music come to life on my Ipod and Zune HD. Most people think I am crazy for paying a lot for earphones but I am an audiophile at heart.

I'm going to keep it simple:
+Great sound quality and noise isolation
+Decent transportability
-BREAKS VERY EASILY with normal use (as of now both sides of mine are covered in epoxy due to the plastic breaking and I even had to take a soldering pen to one side) If not for this my review would be a 5/5.
Man I literally had tears in my eyes when I first listened to these. I plugged them into my computer's SB X-Fi Pro outboard controls and cranked up my latest track and it was like what had been in my head flowed into my ears.
I had had a pair of M-Audio's (basically rebranded Super.fi 3's) and they were clear and spacious but had no real presence in the lower frequencies. I had to really boost the EQ on the MP3 player and that introduced distortion.
So I got a pair of these. Man that was money well spent. I absolutely recommend these to anyone who cares about music. You will probably want to upgrade your MP3 player though and these will really reveal the limits of anything below 320kbs.
Also as everybody says the fit is key. But when you have them in correctly the sound is rich, clear and spacious all through the audible frequency range and they really block outside noise effectively. Gotta watch that actually if you are out on the street, etc.
this is what yyou need if you want clear representation of your music projects. you will be able to distinguish all details of sound at studio standard and not at enhanced quality. the sound plays as is, how it is supposed to sound so it can be properly mixed down.
