One of the best out there.......2007-11-29
Top of the line product. I own the super.fi 5 Pro, the Beyerdynamic DT 770-80, and a variety of other headphones. These are my most commonly used headphones. These actually have excellent bass impact, much like the DT 770s, but are portable. The super.fi 5 Pro have more detail, but simply do not have enough bass. The detail on these is still excellent. The range is also excellent.
Also: give them time to burn-in. Don't simply listen to them and send them back. Their sound does change with a bit of time. If you still don't like them after a few weeks, then send them back.
The best sounding headphones ever, worth every cent and more.......2007-11-03
Since there's already a number of very detailed reviews on here I'll stick to my personal thoughts and leave off the specifics.
First off, these are simply amazing sounding. If these are your first pair of high end headphones, you're really in for a surprise. It takes a tremendously expensive and well set-up home theater system to even come close to the sound you can get with these. You'll find yourself listening through all your old music just to see how different it sounds when you can hear every nuance of the sound.
These are in-ear phones, but not deep insertion. From what I've heard, even better sound can be acheived with deep canal phones, but I have never tried a pair that was at all comfortable. This is a very important difference. Even if you've found in-ear headphones to be uncomfortable in the past, I would strongly encourage you to give these a chance. Do yourself a favor and try each of the different tips before settling on one.
They cancel outside noise very well, almost too well for some situations. This can be nice though, it lets you play music at a reasonable volume in situations where you'd have to crank lesser phones to the max. My largest gripe about these is that they can transmit wind noise very loudly at times. Shouldn't be a problem for wearing while running, but they get quite annoying to wear for cycling.
If you're extremely fashion conscious, be wary. Have you ever seen a picture of someone wearing these? Chances are you haven't, there's a reason why UE shows pics of the regular Super.fi 5s being worn and not the EBs. They're not hideous or anything, but they do stick out at a kind of odd and unexpected angle.
As far as the bass goes, it's great sounding but nothing to be worried about. Just take into account your preferred styles of music when deciding between the regular and EB models. If you listen to mainly rock, metal, hip-hop or pop, I'd strongly reccomend the EBs. Most modern rock and rap is mixed in a way that benefits from the extra bass, there's not much worry of it overpowering your music.
Best headphones I've ever owned!!.......2007-10-10
I've been through some great Sony in-ear fontopias, Bose Tri-Ports and Shure E2C's.
The E2C are great, but didn't have enough bass for me.
These give me the base and the mid and high clarity the E2C's gave me.
These will be keepers for a very long time.
Foam tips rule!
A good value for the price..........2007-08-25
I've read some of the reviews here criticizing how the bass on the EB's are overemphasized. I would have to disagree. Anyone who has listened to a lot of live music, especially pop(and it's sub-genres), rock(and it's sub-genres), would say these ear phones are spot on. The bass is powerful and deep, but hardly overtake the music in any way. Let the "cd listeners" have their "balanced" sound. To me, it's not real.
The mids and highs are well done also. While not the best I've heard, are detailed and neither to far back or to far forward on the soundstage. Nothing fatiguing here, so listening long term is enjoyable.
My only (minor) criticism is that they are physically long ear phones. I wish they came in clear so they would be less noticeable. If this doesn't bother you, you should be very happy with them. Considering the price(
< $130), how can you go wrong?
Overall, I give them a grade of A-.
Edit - I wrote this review based on listening through a 2nd generation iPod Nano.
Good sound and quality.......2007-08-21
After having used these earphones for about 15 days I can say that I'm very pleased with it's sound.
Although I found them initially uncomfortable now I changed my mind.
They have a very good bass response. I use them with an Ipod nano and the sound is very good, but they lack the high frequencies, so I had to set the Ipod equalizer in "amplify trebble" position. With this setting the bass is very good and the trebble is also good. The isolation is not complete but if you put the volume high you will not hear anything outside.
I put a four star because of the lack of trebble, compared to other earphones I have like Sony or Senheiser. I suppose that the top models have a better response, but they cost a lot of more money.
I found that the cable doesn't have a good design because it has to be in front: I prefer the left cable shorter than the right earphone cable so you can put it behind your neck as with Sony models.
Resuming I'd buy again these earphones because I'm very satisfied.
