Superior, affordably-priced earphonesStrengths: Super sound, super fit Weakness: Proper fit takes a little time The earbuds that accompany Apple iPods and other MP3 players, while suitable for every-day use, do not deliver high-end sound. These earphones do just that — at a reasonable price to boot. I could not afford to go top of the line ($200 on up), so my choice boiled down to the Shure EC3 or the Ultimate Ear Super.Fi3. Based on a variety of online reviews — both rated well, I chose the Super.Fi3 and couldn't be happier. Aside from the standard trials and tribulations getting the proper fit, I would have to say that these phones do exactly what is required: block out ambient noise and deliver superior sound. 75% of readers found this review helpful.

Hear the music for the first timeStrengths: Incredible sound, comfortable fit Weakness: None so far (honest!) Let me first preface the review by noting that this is my first venture into mid-range earphones (I've been using $10 earbuds for years), so my apologies for those looking to read a very technical comparison or analysis as I'm certainly no professional audiophile. What I can say is that I'll never be able to go back to any prior earpiece. Product description notes that unlike your home stereo, intead of pushing air, these earphones utilize a vibrating coil audio driver similar to hearing aids... What does it mean for us non-techies? The best I can describe it is having "surround sound" in your ears. Combined with higher frequency response than most of us non-musicians probably can hear, my immidiate first wish was to re-listen to my entire mp3 collection to hear what I've apparently been missing up until now. I laughed when I later read the company's motto: "hear the music for the first time"... very true. As far the fit, I'm very happy with these as well, they are certainly anatomically correct (with the inner piece/driver angled forward like your ear canal) so you don't even need to check which one is R or L... it'll only appropriately fit one way when you hold it right. Soft rubber tips come in various sizes (default was just right for me) and are easy to clean (cleaning tool is included as well). Buy it, enjoy it! (this is a rare 5-star review for me).

Excellent set of phonesStrengths: Awesome Crystal clarity, you will hear details in music that you have missed before. Weakness: The bass is weak. The sound out of these phones is amazing. The frequencies reproduced are pure and clear without any harshness. Details came out that I had never really heard before. The only problem I have with them is the poor bass reproduction. Low notes are totally fine, but ultra-low frequencies like the lowest on a bass guitar or bass drum beats are faint. Overall, if you are not heavy into bass, then get these.

Extraordinary headphones with excellent price
Strengths: Sound is amazing, Isolation is great, price is excellent, nearly perfect headphones for the price range
Weakness: Nitpick, but could be a little more comfortable.
These headphones are probably the best value for in ear headphones available. The Etymotic ER6i which I also had offer equal sound and somewhat inferior bass for a higher price. The only advantage the etymotics have over these are they are slightly more comfortable. Isolation for both headphones are great, but these are the better deal at the lower price.
