Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro

$250.00

The Pros:Above average sound quality, but can be muddy in comparison with other headphones of similar price range. Very good sound isolation, nearly everything from the outside world is muted with these headphones in your ears. Hard carrying case is sleek and very stylish. In addition, it is very durable and has good build quality. Serves its purpose well, but can be a pain to carry around due to its size.

The Cons:Annoying shape and size, can be a pain to put in and out. Wire, although relatively decent in strength, is made of odd material that has a strong chemical odor, and contorts to annoying forms very easily. Bound for breakage and potential defective soldering in the left earbud. As with what happened with my pair, and with the pairs of others on the web, the left earbud becomes detached completely, and parts of the insides (including the soldering) are ripped out. Left earbud, by itself, is not sold as a replacement; this type of damage is extremely easy to encounter, not necessarily due to rough handling or misuse.

The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro is a universal earphone. With the same sonic signature as the professional custom series (the UE-5 Pro is based on this model), the Super.fi 5 Pro is a very musical, bass full IEM.

Bass is there and can output low frequency sounds, but bass always seems empty and lacks a noticeable "punch." Not as great as expected for the price.

Design is odd, the look is not sleek and, to some, may even be repulsive.

Foam eartips are very low grade and extremely disappointing.
