 Excellent choice for the money September 30, 2008
These are a replacemnt for the Shure e3c headphones I had. Reviews I read gave the ultimate ears a good alternative to the pricey Shure headphones. The sound in one of the Shure phones was crackling and decided to get new ones. With the ultimate ears, you can replace the wire, which is a better alternative than buying new headphones!
 Decent but not Worth the Price September 19, 2008
I was excited to try these and as soon as I opened I realized they weren't going to work for me.
The cord is too short. I like to golf w/ my ipod in my pocket and the cord is just not long enough. And it's always getting bunched up and doesn't lay nicely.
The ear buds are a pain in the butt to get in place (in your ears). If you need to remove the buds a lot, these are not for you.
The sounds quality is definitely excellent...but that's not enough for me. I'm going to go buy anothe rpair of the $20 Sony ear buds that have worked great for years.
...And don't tell me I didn't follow the directions...BECAUSE I DID!

When I first got these, I thought the sound was better than my default Ipod earphones, but the sound to me was still muffled. I used them mostly when I worked out and often times the seal would detach from my skin and the plug would fall out, even looped over my ears. Still they worked ok so I kept them.
This week they completely stopped working and I purchased these earphones on February 20, 2008! They no longer transmit volume from my Ipod and lasted a whopping six months. Don't waste your money. Read reviews from people who had have the product for a while before spending $ on electronic gadget or accessories.
 I rarely write reviews, however, ultimate ears Super.fi 3 Studios are the best earphones for the price!!!!!! August 21, 2008
I purchased Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio Earphones after my Bose In-Ear headphones shorted out at the plugs. I figured, for the money, if the Super.fi's ever shorted out, they have user replaceable cables that you can order from their site for $20. I didn't expect the sound from these earphones to be the quality of the old-fashioned over-the-ear headphones. I purchased the Super.fi 3s because I listen to mostly Jazz and audiobooks. The quality of the sound is just something you'd have to experience yourself. They harken me back to the first childhood memory I have of putting on the HUGE over-the-ear headphones my brother-in-law had and the awe and simplicity of being wrapped in sound. I would recommend these headphones for anyone who is fed up with cheaply made phones that just don't stand up to real-world commuting and for irredeemable audiophiles. They work great when wearing glasses or goggles, too, so don't let the around the ear bit scare you. The wire is bendy up by the ear. If I had $600 to spend, I'd buy the custom Ultimate Ears but, the C.E.O.s are the only ones making enough money to pay back their student loans AND have a life.
fantastic sound August 19, 2008
What a great review by N. Pardo. I couldn't agree with him more. These in ear monitors are the best you can buy anywhere near this price. The detail is incredible, but the overall sound is very smooth. The frequency response is very flat, leading some people to feel they are short on bass. This is not the case. The bass is all there, it's just not bumped up to unreal levels. They lay out a huge soundstage and you almost forget you are listening to ear buds at all. What is on the cd is what you will hear. Female voice is especially wonderful. All vocals have a you are there reality to them that I have rarely heard from headphones at any price. As you can tell, I am very excited about Ultimate Ears Super.Fi3 Studios. If you are familiar with what music is suppose to sound like I think you will be excited too!
