 I must have been unlucky July 4, 2008
After reading the reviews, I figured these were just what I was looking for. However, the pair I received has really poor sound quality. There was a significant amount of distortion.
 Excellent Choice!! June 24, 2008
I gotta say, I'm not one for reviews but have to speak up after a long search while looking for some in ear type earphones. I looked all over, lots of reading of reviews on the different earphones, I finally decided to buy these based on quality, usage, comfort and price. I couldn't be happier! These things are great!
Was looking at buying the more expensive triple.fi 10 Pro's ($350) or the Shure SE530 ($430). Those models are 2 or 3 times the price of these Super.fi 5 pro's but there is just no way they are 2 or 3 times better, if at all!! I don't think I'm quite the "audiophile" many others are so that may be a factor. I enjoy listening to all genre's of music from rap, rock, country, pop, techno, metal and classical. Everything really. My usual sources are CD's, iPod or plug in to computer or stereo equipment. More a casual user who just wanted a little more for my listening pleasure.
So just appreciate good music, good sounds and was looking for an improvement over the normal iPod earbuds or the over the ear headphones which I enjoy but can be inconvinient. By the way, I have the Bose On-Ear cans that run about $180 and really like them. Great Base and good overall sound. But wanted something compatible but smaller & more convenient. I tried the Bose Earbuds at about $99 and didn't like the fit and the sound wasn't that "noticeable" difference compared to the iPod Earbuds. A small upgrade, but I wanted more. Better. So off I went looking for more.
I got "more" with the U.Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro's without spending an arm & a leg! Fantastic improvement over the iPod Earbuds, and better than the Bose in-ear and worth the extra money. I tried the Shure E4 and these were just better. Better overall sound & fit. Practically same price and while both were an upgrade, these just sound better. The Super.Fi 5 pro's are comfortable, deliver nice base, great sound with all Genre's of music and with minimal noise leaking. I can listen to loud music without disturbing other around me. Gives you a good seal in an excellent sound isolating earphone.
Look, the triple.fi 10 pro's and the Shure SE530's are great, but 2 to 3 times better? They are good, but I just don't see that big of a difference especially for that much money. And for what I'm using them for which is mostley listening to my iPod or CD Player are they worth the extra $200 to $250 more? I say these Super.fi 5 pro's are excellent and exactly what I was looking for.
Great earphones and good price point.
Unfreakin Believable!!! June 20, 2008
Just got these babys. Plugged them in, turned on Xanadu by Rush and had an out of body experience. These earphones are absolutely amazing. i can't put in words the experience I just had listening to songs I have heard 1000 times before. All I can say is Bose Who?
They are on the way! June 14, 2008

I hope these are as good as people say. I passed on the Shure SE420 to get these. I hope i was right. Was I?
Great sound! June 5, 2008
IMHO, the reason for choosing one ear bud or headphone over another is sound quality, comfort and noise.
The sound of these ear buds is amazing. Listening to sixties rock, classical, and whatever it is my teenagers call that noise, the Super.fi5 Pro Earphones deliver unbelieveable clarity over a wider range than I had anticipated. Read the technical reviews all you want but there is plenty of base, a very clean midrange and the highs come through -- all balanced nicely.
One review I saw said they are surprisingly not uncomfortable. I think that was perfectly put. When I put them in it was not like slipping into old comfy slippers. They feel a bit awkward. But I was able to wear them in active pursuits and they don't all out, and even after long periods of time, when I took them out it was not like "Whew! Thank God!". It is not that they are comfy. They just are there and work and are not uncomfortable.
I am less clear about the noise reduction. I have not been in a plane, my primary need. Clearly filling the ear canal must reduce some sounds but how much? They don't use an active, white noise cancelling system.
Two other things. These are a highly portable great sound system so for travel it is much better than equally expensive and three times as large headphones (Sennheiser PCX 300) and the batteries that power them.
And the customer service is great. Plenty of great information in directions and the website of how to get the most out of your earbuds.
