The Super.fi 3 take a little getting use to, but after a couple of weeks they are outstanding. Not very bassy witch I like. from Earphonesolutions.com The sound is great the different ear bud sizes makes customizing this product to your ears perfect and the compact size means I can take it anywhere. I wanted something that would allow me to mow the lawn without having to blast my music, well this is it. from Amazon.com But they have amazing soundstage and versatility. About a year after owning them I started experience problems with the, the left ear was losing sound with movement. I went to the Ultimate Ears website and follow some advice there only to discover that the left cable has broken into the earpiece. I contacted Ultimate Ears and return them and they gave a new pair. from Amazon.com After unsuccessfully trying 3 different sets of head phones, I found my perfect fit! I use these for running and using the elliptical trainer. from Amazon.com As many audiophiles have already mentioned, these are great canal earphones (or IEMs though they are only entry level). If you're a bass head and expecting thumping bass, look elsewhere. I purchase these overseas in the summer of 2006 based on the feedback of the store's owner who also own a pair (and a pair of Super.fi 5s). He assured me they were great 'phones for the money and he had even gone scuba diving with them a few times. from Amazon.com I bought 2 products from Ultimate Ears to compare them. Ultimate Ears SuperFi 3 Studio Noise Isolating Earphones (Black) from Amazon.com These are the earphones you can exercise with; they stay in the ear. So many of the ear buds fall out when walking or running, but these earphones come with an assortment of ear buds to fit your ears - and to stay in place. Best ones without it costing an arm and a leg. from Amazon.com Clearly a lot of people have good experiences with these headphones or the rating wouldn't be so high, even Wired magazine lists this brand as a top performer. I wish I could say they were worth the $90 I paid for them, but honestly their performance was far worse than the $20 Sony earphones I have. Maybe I just couldn't get them seated in my ears properly, and oddly difficult task for something as simple as earphones. To create the 'seal' they talk about I had to use the biggest cover, and really secure them where it felt like I had dived too deep into a swimming pool. from Amazon.com I did a lot of research before choosing these and they got very high ratings for sound quality. I agree that if you can make them stay in your ears the sound quality is excellent. There was not a small enough rubber tip to fit in my ear unless I held them in with my fingers or perhaps I could have worn a vice grip to hold them in. from Amazon.com I began buying a pair of Philip's from Wal-Mart and after losing the silicon tips and the first two pairs blowing out I decided to maybe start researching higher end earphones. I was going to Japan for a little bit so I decided on finding something that can really isolate outside noise well. I spent about a week doing research and it pretty much boiled down to the Super.fi 3's, Shure SE100's, or the Eytomic Research Er6i's. I noticed a lot of people enjoyed these, so that probably pushed me towards settling with these. from Amazon.com
