These are the way to go... I recently owned the Altec Lansing UHP336 Snugfit In-ear Earphone, which people say are Ultimate Ear headphones but just different branding... I just put the these headphones on, and was so impressed by the significant difference in quality that I had to type this up... from Amazon.com I bought these headphones in June, and 2 months later, one of the earbuds stopped working. That's fine, I figured. I went on the Ultimate Ears website to get warranty support, and I saw they had a link to Logitech (which owns UE now). Again, that was fine, so I contacted Logitech. from Amazon.com I purchased the Ultimate Ears Metro Fi 170's after much internet research and comparisons of specifications. I was convinced I would be getting a really nice sounding unit with the flexibilty of multiple ear cushions. from Amazon.com These Headphones are amazing. Granted, I have little experience with high end in-ear headphones, but I own a nice pair of noise canceling over-ear headphones, and these little earbuds produce comparable sound quality. from Amazon.com finally a nice pair of in-ear that just work. For the money they do what you want. from Amazon.com My review is based on the assumption that you will pay the current Amazon listed price (49.99). I tested these earphones against my ultra-comfortable Panasonic RP-HT260 Monitor Headphones and an old earbud set that came with a Sony Discman many years ago. from Amazon.com Sorry to be a stick in the mud but I wasn't impressed. The sound is tinny and after messing with my iPhone EQ for about a half hour, I could not correct the mediocre sound. They are comfortable in my big hard-to-fit ears. The wires are sturdy and will probably hold up great. from Amazon.com These have the clearest fullest-range and most natural sound of any headphones I've had. But there is a lot of audible noise from jostling the cords when the in-ear seal is good (as it must be for good hearing) so I only use these when still. from Amazon.com Earphones are always, always going to be extremely personal things. One person's excellence is another's mediocre. In the case of these Ultimate Ears (Logitech) MetroFi 170 Noise Isolating Earphones, from this person's standpoint (and from the wife's!) they're just not good quite enough. Since there are several other reviews, I'll break it down for easier reference. from Amazon.com The high end is very similar in both. Distortion is almost completely absent. Confort: Well this is something very personal, because I have to use the bigger cushion to seal my ear canal, so my ears get tired within few hours, but with the middle cushions I got no seal at all. Bass are awesome, with a lot of punch and they're very deep. from Amazon.com
