Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 Noise Isolating Earphones

By (cnet.com)

The reasonably priced Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 earphones offer good sound quality and excellent bass (if you can get a good fit). A protective carrying case is included. One version includes an inline mic and call answer button for use with music ...

The MetroFi 220 earphones won't be comfortable for all users ; the earpieces have a bit of a cheap, plastic feel ; and the cable is thin and tangle-prone

The Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 earphones are a good middle-of-the-road option thanks to their thumpy bass and solid overall sound quality, but be wary of fit and comfort issues.

The MetroFi 220 Noise Isolating Earphones are a step up from the bottom of...

Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220

By Tim Gideon (pcmag.com)

The Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 is so similar to our Editors' Choice budget earphones, the MetroFi 170 ($49.99 list), that it's a hard sell at $79.99 (list). That's not to say that the MetroFi 220 isn't a great pair, and you do get a slightly deeper ...

Strong bass response and overall sonic performance. Superb fit. Reasonably priced

Pronounced cable thump means it's not the best choice for exercise use—and there's no shirt clip included

Yes, the MetroFi 220 delivers heavy bass and solid sonic quality for $80, but its almost-identical little brother, the $50 MetroFi 170, snags our Editors' Choice.

I'd rather listen to the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220, but I'd still buy the...

Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220

By Sift Ninja (businesscomputingworld.co.uk)

Ultimate Ears has been a familiar name to musicians and other audio professionals for a decade, but the company's consumer line has gained quite a following as well. Earphones in the company's various lines range in affordability and scale, from those ...

We do have some concerns regarding fit and durability. The earpieces of the 220s are the first cause for concern. With their opaque, blood-red enclosures, they're quite stylish, but the 'buds are quite small on the whole. We found the squat, ...

Good headphones, high price

By Jonathan (amazon.com)

Good headphones, high price

I personally enjoyed these headphones. I bought them for $75 and after using them for about two weeks, they became my favorite headphones. I usually buy cheap $10 headphones, so putting out an extra $65 for these was a stretch for me. They're not as loud...

Crystal Clear

By Oceana Man (amazon.com)

Crystal Clear

Bought these as an extra pair. Very clear sound, I hear things I never heard before on some songs. Bass is not very strong, though. You'll need to use your mixer to boost it. These do not block out extraneous sounds (like when you're at the gym) as well a...

Great Lows, Pretty good highs, better than Apple In-Ear phones

By Neil Gandhi (amazon.com)

Great Lows, Pretty good highs, better than Apple In-Ear phones

I've had these guys for about a month now and I am using them as my primary headphones. I'd like to think I'm an audiophile, but I definitely don't understand sound like some of the others here on Amazon writing reviews. I do know however, what great soun...
