near-ear-canal design of earphone to be best for my needs. Sadly, quality headphones with full iPhone functionality are still very hard to find, especially in the $100-$200 range (my target). Thus my choices were narrowed down to the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi's and Etymotic Research hf2; given my past experience with Ety's (ER6i's with an older iPod; I quickly returned them for their flimsy construction, difficult and uncomfortable fit, and totally lacking bass), I quickly dismissed the hf2's. And forget V-Moda, unless you want all of your music and video to sound like James Earl Jones speaking through a wooden box. from Amazon.com You will find yourself ordering replacements before long. The headset function though is where the problems start. First, if you are not using these over the ears there is a tremendous amount of cable noise. If you can get a good fit over the ears this defeats some of the cable noise. from Amazon.com Don't look like 'em or work like 'em. Too bad. OK, get the good stuff out of the way: These 'phones feature the usual terrific Ultimate Ears sound. They are a pleasure to listen to. from Amazon.com That proved to be a major improvement in my listening enjoyment. Those standard Apple earbuds really did not provide the sound quality I was looking for and the B&O phones did. What I did miss, though, was the convenience of quickly getting the Apple earbuds in place in my ears as compared to the Bang & Olufsen earphones. Moving forward to a couple of weeks ago when I finally gave in and purchased a 3Gs iPhone (which truly is amazing)... from Amazon.com About 6 months ago, I purchased the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4vi and found them to be great for airplane travel and the morning commute. They block out noise pretty well (considering I'm using them on the loud DC metro) and come with a variety of ear buds in different shapes so that I found a good fit. from Amazon.com Very good bass....mids are a little drowned out. Keep in mind they are pretty big. They really stick out of your ears. I would buy again. from Amazon.com These are horrible. They sound cheap. from Amazon.com These ear buds are a bit large & clunky but sound great. The low end can handle whatever you give it without any distortion. from Amazon.com So, not satisfied it was $150 well spent, I took them back. Next I got a pair of the Bose in-ear. I did not like the way they felt in my ears with the silicone tips they provide that just kind of set in your ear. I felt like I wasn't getting the most out of the sound they were capable of without a good seal. from Amazon.com I just love the full sound these make, the way the bass fills the soundstage, I think its how the music I tend to play needs to be personally, it gives the music a foundation. I'm using them with the "rhapsody to go" on my sansa so that's wma at 128k or 164k. I'm not kidding, sometimes its so breathtaking when you have a great track playing and you got the fit just right, that its hard to believe you got a pair of small earbuds in your ears, the bass is going right through you like a big pair of speakers would. Isn't technology something. from Amazon.com
