Excellent November 13, 2008

Remember those tinny inner-ear headphones from years back? You know what I mean, the ones with bell wire! Well these Ultimate Ears aren't like that, they have bass and sounds you wouldn't normally hear with inner headphones.
They seem strange at first because they block out nearly all outside noise. I don't recommend doing an activity where hearing is important but that goes without saying.
It comes in a sexy box with spare pads, and easily fits in a pocket for travelling.
Expensive but worth every penny.
ps make sure your MP3s are coded in maximum kbs, 320 or more. Otherwise there's no point buying these.
The above is just my opinion, everyone's different :)

This is an amazing set of earphones - I've just upgrade from Shure SE210 (I know they are different leagues but I'll do some comparisons anyway) and I am absolutely STUNNED with the sound quality of the UE Triple-Fi 10 Pro!
Listening experience:
I confess I was looking to buy the Shure SE420 (after a very positive review in a Hi-Fi magazine) but after listening the Triple-Fi's for about 5 minutes I was convinced - what a soundstage and clarity all over the range - they sounded as good or better as my living room hi-fi. The first impact was on the bass - As I had my Ipod Classic (160Gb) with the equalizer in "Latin" (I don't like equalizers) as a correction for the *relatively poor* lower range of the SE210 (my review in Jan/08 Shure Se210 Sound Isolating Earphones- White), I had to put the EQ imediately in "Inactive" - and now THATS a deep and rich bass!
I also tried the SE420 and the Super-Fi 5? but none had the clarity on the middle/high range of the Triple-Fi's - there's such a degree of clarity that everything is revealed, you really have to care with the quality of the source. I would definitively recommend ripping at 320kps or looseless if you want to take the most of them.
Fit and ergonomics:
They fit very like the Shure's but with the benefict of the semi-hard wire that really helps to keep them in place and aligned - also, as the cable is much lighter, everything stays in place whatever is the way you move. One thing I noticed too is that the included cable doesn't induce any noise in the driver when you touch it - One thing that I didn't like in the Shure's was the cable lenght and weight and the noise they made when the cabled danged into any object.
Sound isolation is good but not as good as the Shure's foams - UE foam ear tips provide better isolation than the rubber ones but degrade very fast and easily - but they are efective and confortable - get a stock of them!
Way better than the super.fi 5 Pro! May 17, 2008

The super.fi 5's were my first upgrade from stock buds and they were a definite 'night and day' difference. I was happy with them for a while until I yearned for more midrange presence and clearer vocals. In the past year my quest for the 'perfect' earphones has included: Sony EX90, q-JAYS, Etymotic ER-4P, Shure SE210/310/420 E4G and E500, phew. . . oh, and also my favourites for the past 9 months, the Denon AH-C700.
When I saw Amazon discounting the Triples, I had to buy them :)))
I've been listening to them exclusively for 12 days and wanted to wait until I was familar with the sound and the fit before writing a review.
FIT: Easier for some reason than the super.fi 5's. I think the shape of the Triples is slightly more curved and they certainly don't feel as big as they look (if that makes sense.) I wear them with the cable running down my back and have absolutely no problems with microphonics or annoying cables sticking in my face. I insert them by pulling my ear up and out, putting the earpiece in straight, and then 'twisting' it up further towards the ear canal. They stay put really well once the memory wire is secured over the ear. Initially (for the first few hours) they hurt quite a bit and I thought I wouldn't be able to keep them. But once I 'broke' them in, they were fine.
SOUND: Fantastic. The Triples produce a wide soundstage with big big sound. They sound like speakers are strapped to my head, nice! In comparison with the super-fi 5's, the midrange is unrecognisable. It's much less recessed and a whole lot clearer with vocals. The bass is much better controlled and the treble detail is beautifully sweet. For those who were disappointed with the super.fi 5's - the Triples 'fix' everything. They are fairly neutral but with a fullness that adds real weight and body. I don't listen to much rock with earphones as I prefer to use my main speakers for that - but they excel with just about anything. Any preference for the E500 will probably be down to individual taste rather than a difference in quality since they're both high-quality products.
COMPARISONS: I had the Shure E500 (twice) and simply couldn't enjoy them at all. They have a very warm sound which no doubt suits 'bright' daps, but I have Sony daps and I found the 'warm + warm' too much for me. Also, I found the E500s weren't involving enough for me. The frequencies sounded so disconnected from each other that it was hard for me to get involved in the music. The Triples produce detail and enjoyment without me being aware of the separate frequencies. It's easier to get 'lost' in the sound. The E500s also (to my ears), sounded quite cheap at lower volumes. They needed to be cranked up to shine, whereas the Triples sound enjoyable at lower volumes which is nice if you tend to listen before going to sleep. However, the fit of the E500 was much more comfortable and less intrusive than the Triples, they just melted away into your ears. The Triples do not melt away!!
Finally, I still have (and love) my Denons, but I was curious about the Triples. Now I have them, I shan't be letting them go. But my Denons will still be in use due to the ease and quickness of insertion and their fantastic 'magic' cable that never tangles!
They also sound fantastic, great bass, tight and controlled, forward midrange and very sweet treble. But the Triples seem to magnify all that and give me 'more' of the same sound. Still... the Denons are less than half the price of the Triples and are beautifully built with aluminium housing, sturdy enough that you don't have to worry about dropping them or babying them at all. The Denon AH C551s are the cheaper C700 but the sonic differences are barely noticeable. The C551 has more bass impact, the C700 more treble extension. Both phones are excellent value and sound great.
And finally pros and cons for the Triples:
PROS:
* Great overall sound from all of the frequencies.
* Great fit if you can deal with spending a few moments positioning them. But once the memory wire has 'remembered' where it's supposed to be, insertion in much quicker.
* Isolation is great. I could barely hear the lawnmower when I was wearing them.
CONS:
* Yes, well, they're not the smallest on the market! Compared with the tiny q-JAYS, it's like having a football stuck in your ear. I read that people with small ear canals should 'look elsewhere'. Well, I'm a female with small ear canals and have no problem with the fit at all. The beauty of these is that I can even leave them resting slightly further away from the ear canal and still hear everything I need to. The sound doesn't become 'thin' and 'bassless' when I do this, unlike with most other earphones. Also, with the cable running up and over the ears, there's no pressure on the top of the ear lobe (something I had problems with various other phones)
* Price. I think they're overpriced even with the discount. For that price it would have been nice to have had a more flexible cable and at the very least, a spool in the metal case to wind the earphones around. You just have to shove them in and slam the case shut before they spring up again.
Having said that, I'm still keeping them :))
If you can afford them, and are happy to fiddle around with the fit, then you'll love them. I certainly do.
 Great sound but not perfect May 3, 2008

Got these thinking they might be an upgrade to my Shure SE530 as suggested by a German HiFi magazine. And yes they are great sounding in ears which offer a tad more clarity and slightly cleaner, leaner bass compared to the excellent Shures. They are however nowhere near as comfortable, the cable is quite fiddly and the sound isolation not a patch on the Shures, which means you end up cranking the volume higher to get the same level of detail. They also stick out quite a bit and look a little too Star Trek for my liking. One also constantly feels they are there unlike the Shures which you forget about after a while.
They are a great piece of kit but probably more suited to using them at home where sound isolation is not a big issue rather than on the go.
Good, but not perfect April 29, 2008

(2nd time I have written this review - don't know where the last one went?)
Anyway, I do like these phones. The sound is very very good with a decent amount of bass and excellent mid range. I would describe the sound as smooth and warm rather than bright and - perhaps as a result - they don't sound quite as open and expansive as my Shure E5c's. Nevertheless the detail is there if you sit back and listen and the overall experience is extremely enjoyable. It's a very relaxing, unfatiguing listen.
The fit, however is far from great. They are on the large side and because they do stick out quite a bit, I found there is a tendency for them to get knocked and the acoustic seal broken, and then the bass is gone. So unless I sit still in the lounge, I am constantly having to fiddle with them and re-adjust the position to restore the seal and the bass. To be fair, I haven't yet tried the foam plugs and that might well work better.
So overall 4 stars from me. If you want these for something like long train journeys where you can sit back, relax and listen, I'd definitely give them 5 stars. For joggers or tube commuters, probably only 3.
