Ultimate Ears MetroFi 170 In-Ear Headphones (3.5mm gold plated stereo jack, Carrying Case) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Whoever wonders about the title now experiencing the why ^^

Actually, these in-ears would indeed earn 5 stars if one considers only the sound compared to the price. However, there are some limitations that prevent exactly this:
1) The cable is stubborn as anything. This makes it very difficult to carry it over the ears to exclude criticism 2.
2) The cable carries almost every move as noise in the headphones. One can indeed prevent by passing the cable through the ear, but this collides with ugly criticism 1. Very.
3) Even if you've made it, the cable can be run over the ear you have problems, namely when you have a big head. Because the length of the divide in cable to the ears is quite short.
4) The plug is attached to the cable very modest, almost like a breaking point.
5) The statement * Soft silicone eartips * should not be taken too literally, because the supplied are anything but soft. Even if they are, these heats by the body heat not really soft. Also keep this may not really good on the adapters which cause the one the fittings still in the ears when you have sold them. If you do not like ear cushions made of silicone foam which I can recommend the company Comply (either the middle class or the upper class T400 with integrated filter TX400) -> For details see my review of the TX400. The noise isolation with the pass pieces of silicone is less than advertised, which foam is a little better.

So that was the negative. Here I go now times on the positive one:
1) a super sound at a very low price.
2) Quite handy travel case. If you have a small MP3 player you get this together with the in-ears therein.
3) Colored differentiate the left (black) and right (red) side, albeit too unclear in low light.
4) Very light.
5) Very small housing, so that you do not wake up at the turn if one has fallen asleep with the in-ears in the ears.

Here are 2 points that are not included in my evaluation, for one or the other perhaps the last crucial point for / against the purchase. The cable length is included plug approx 120cm (for shirt pocket too long, for your pocket too short; but this is mainly determined by the size of the user) and the cable after splitting the ears is the same length (for those that do not asynchronous cable lengths like).

Finally, let me say something about the possible applications here. This is somewhat higher volume with fitting pieces of silicone in public transport, or low volume when foam. For sports, they have only limited usefulness due to gripe 2, unless you have an opportunity to players and thus to secure the cable so that it can barely move or not. They are also very suitable for listening to music in bed if you do not want to disturb his partners because even if you fall asleep with it in your ears this act when turning not annoying (recommend it however the cables back to run along and not forward the neck ). When earplugs replacement against snorers are themselves foam earpieces with high volume available, if you're looking for something I recommend the Koss - The Plug as they insulate better (are hardly something else like pierced ear plugs behind mounted speakers: -) ^ ^), or In-Ears Shure from the SE series (though these are a lot bigger which in turn can result in problems when turning -> Alternatively, you can also use the search tool on the Comply site to be shorter headphones are compatible to the original Shure foam chocks are looking to [Fastening these are equivalent to those of the T100 / Tx100]).
