 Mucho Bueno!! April 14, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've had other ue products in the past and by far this is the best universal fit in ear product they make. At first they might seem too bright but as they break in you'll notice more detail in the songs you hear. They don't have as much bass as the ue superfi 5 pro but its just right also there not as loud as the lower end models so you might have to turn up the volume a little. The bad thing about these is that if you made a low bitrate mp3 or other formats you'll notice it seems harse in the sound so make sure you use at least 192 kbs or higher to get the best experience. Another small problem is they are a little fat at the ear tips so they might not go in all the way if you use the wrong size eartips. Buy these if you can afford the 400 dollar price. If not then beg for the money!!!!
Great High End Earphones July 11, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is a great complement to my iPhone and iPod. The sound quality of these earphones are superb, especially with the highs being super detailed and the bass being well extended and deep. The only bad thing is the headphone jack doesn't go as deep as the iPhone recessed headphone jack, so you must buy an Apple accessory that enable the connection to occur. It's definitely not UE's fault, more like Apple trying to nickel and dime you. I would highly recommend this product for iPod, iPhone, and more importantly music lovers out there to seek the best possible sound out of your earphones.
The closest thing to perfect sound January 9, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was looking for earphones for quite a while. I tried a lot of models, including the Shure 530, which I had for one day before I returned back. Then I ordered these and after having given them a good try, I've decided I'll be keeping them.
The sound of these earphones is the closest thing I've heard to perfect. The sound is balanced, there's extremely good bass, the midrange is well defined, and most importantly for me, the treble is exactly where it should be. I do like warm sound, and the triple fi gives me exactly that. In addition, the soundstage is extremely large and spacious, and people who say one experiences music in a completely different way with these than with other IEMs are not very far off, i.m.o. What you will get with the triple fi is the sound of very good to excellent large studio headphones, only in the minimized in-ear format.
Now as to why I didn't pick the Shure 530, I should say I'm actually surprised to be reading all the reviews from serious reviewers stating they're the best. I don't know if my unit was defective --something I highly doubt given the quality control that should have been applied to them at that price level-- but in my case, those IEMs sounded even harsh when I played Amy Winehouse's "You know I'm No Good". The drums were definitely over-the-board, the bass didn't even come out half as good as on the triple fi (or even the Sennheiser CX 400 that my wife owns), no matter what equalization setting I tried. Most importantly, the treble was no good. The sound was definitely loud (with the extra volume control unit that comes with the earphones), but there was just a bit too much of everything in there, except for treble. The instruments' output was not well-rounded as it is on the triple fi, and frankly, I didn't "get a kick" out of my music. This was not only true for the drum and bass tracks I tried, but also for some of the classical music I played through those.
There is a good comparison of the two IEMs on one of the specialized sites on the web if you search (I won't post the link for fear of being reprimanded by Amazon), which I think is right on the money about the difference between the two top universal 3 driver IEMs in the market right now.
As for comfort, I am very comfortable with the triple fi, and I also think the way Ultimate Ears has simplified the carrying of the earphones beats all the length one has to go through to get the Shure out and ready for play.
Based on my experience, I believe the triple fi is the closest thing there is to perfect sound out there in the universal models.
Hope this has been helpful.
The absolute best February 2, 2008

I'm a self-professed headphone junkie. And, while I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, I do have a BFA in music so I have a pretty well-developed ear. That being said, these earphones reveal details I've never heard in songs I've listened to a thousand times.
Before buying these, I used the Super.Fi 5 Pros for about two years and I loved them. Then, I bought the Shure SE530 based on all the glowing reviews I had read. They were very comfortable and cooler looking that the phones from Ultimate Ears, but their rolled-off highs (or as some like to say, their "warm" sound) just made me long for the sparkle of my trusty Super.Fis. The Triple.Fis are a huge step-up from either--you get the sparkling highs of the Super.Fis and the clean, enhanced bass of the Shures.
To my ear, these provide the best sound I've ever heard from a headphone--period. I would have bought these at twice the price. Highly recommended!!!
Unbelievable!! December 24, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I read the other reviews for these earbuds so I ordered them. I thought they would be good, but I never imagined they would be soooooooooo GOOD!!!
Unbelievable is almost all I can say about them. I'm not a technician, but I am an audiophile who knows how to listen, and these sound devices really do perform as the reviewers say they do, but I didn't really truly know what they were saying until I got them and put them to the test. I grew up in a time when hi fidelity was the only sound system available and went through the periods of the transistor, the integrated circuit, then finally the digital age so I've progressed right along with most of the sound systems developed in the past. I've had many, many speaker systems including all sorts of high quality headphones and such. These Triple.fi 10's are the best thus far. When I have them in my ears and listening to my kinds of music genres I can't really do anything else because the music is sooo in your brain. It's like your head is the direct line to the music! I love to listen to the Pandora free music site, and it just got even better (how about four times better at least)!
Yeah, okay, it's a lot of money for a set of 'earphones'! BUT these ain't just earphones! I heard it once said that the cheapest pair of headphones is still better than the most expensive pair of speakers, and that's pretty much true in my experiences over the years. These Ultimate Ears take this axiom to the limit. If you can afford them, buy them and be truly awed and suspended in a plasm of pure musical sound.
The only thing - be sure to follow the instructions on putting them in your ears so a good seal is made and always start with the volume control turned all the way off and gradually bring it up to a comfortable listening level. I value my hearing as much as I do my eyesight. I want to always be able to hear everything from the lows to the highs for greatest enjoyment, and so far I've managed to do just that.
