- Great a blocking noise, but not so great at producing sound
After poking around http://www.headphone.com/technical/product-measurements/ for a little while, I decided to ask for this pair of "studio earphones" for Christmas 2007 based on the Super.fi 3's favorable price/performance ratio. Upon receiving them and using them for a number of weeks, I have to say that I am disappointed; although they basically turn even the most crowded, busy, and loud workspace into near silence (when playing light music), the music that they do produce doesn't have the depth of sound that I'm used to. My other sound equipment consists of a set of Grado SR60s (which I simply adore), a Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 200-Watt 2.1 Speaker System (which is also top-notch!), and a Yamaha YHT-360 XM-Ready 5.1-Channel Home Theater System (Black) (which is great for movies but not so great for listening to music). All of these other pieces produce full, rich sound, leaving my Super.fi 3's to feel somewhat out of place in my life.

Observations:

(1) The packaging for the Super.fi 3's warns against prolonged use--something like an hour per day is the maximum that they suggest. In my opinion, this sort of defeats the purpose of these earphones; I'm only ever using them when I want to concentrate for an extended period of time in a location where it's loud OR when I'm on an airplane traveling for several hours at once. Because keeping my ears healthy is important to me, I'm worried about the extended use of these earphones.

(2) Walking around in a busy urban setting with these engaged is dangerous! For me, my ears play a vital role in situational awareness, so not being able to hear *any* environmental noise (something that these earphones do excel at) can be a handicap. You'll kindly note that I have not labeled this as a "con"--it wouldn't be fair to rate this device poorly because it was good at what it advertised! :)

(3) The aluminum case that comes with earphones is very sturdy, and I like it a lot.

Conclusion: I'd trade my Super.fi 3's in for a different pair of earphones with richer sound if possible, but for now, they'll do.

- No base whatsoever
Just to warn everyone...great sound and fit the ear well with the numerous ear plugs provided. However, there is absolutely no bass...everything sounds as if you turned off the lowest frequencies on an equalizer. Very weird! I went on the internet and many others have had similar problems. Tried many adjustments but could not get any bass from the headphones and had to return them. I gave the product three stars because the remaining sound is quite good and the isolation from the ear plugs is excellent. There is just no bass and most music just doesn't sound right. I instead went with the v-moda vibe and they are excellent with great bass response and cheaper.

- Great sound
Takes a little getting used to the in ear feeling, but the sound quality is incredible.

- Need both hands to put them on
Originally wanting a pair of shure headphones, this seemed to be a cost-friendly alternative. First off, I have to use both hands to put each bud in, which is not so convenient when my hands aren't free. After a while you do get used to it and I can sometimes just fit them in my ears with one hand.

The bud attachments are always coming off when i pull them out of my bag. I've lost a set already and it's extremely annoying. Fortunately they come with many sets of silicone and foam plugs or various sizes. The bass is indeed lacking, the fitting isn't so great either.

- Great Sound...Great Price
I bought this set along with similar in-ear sets in the same price range: Shure SE110 ($100), V Moda Vibe ($65), Sony MDREX85LP ($65) and tested each one to determine which I would keep. I could understand how anyone could listen to each of these sets and proclaim each as great when referenced against stock ipod/mp3 speakers. Against that comparison all four of these were a big improvement. However, when compared against each other, there were major differences. The Sony's had good bass, but were not crisp and had seemed cheap when compared against the others. The Shure's were very flat. Shockingly, for $100, you don't get much here. The V-moda's were very good. Excellent bass, clarity and build quality. However, the sharpness was too much for my ears and I could never get a comfortable setting on the ipod. Finally, I listened to the Super.fi.3's. Quite simply a great balance between low, mid and high ranges for my ears. Good comfort and strong build quality synched the purchase. They are slightly "tinny" so I can not give 5 stars. Still I can not believe the disparity between this pair and the Shure's (similar price range). The salesperson, who sold both pairs agreed. I really don't think you can go wrong with these if you are looking in this price range!
