Ultimate Ears 300vi

Designed primarily for use with your iPod for the gym and pounding the streets when out running, these in-ear headphones come with an over-the-ear flexible cable so you won't find them falling out mid-workout. Smartphone users can also make the most of...

Orange and Grey may not be the most stylish of combinations, but this sporty little number is a lightweight in-ear headset. Having the over-the-ear bar means the earbuds sit snug, so even when burning down the home straight they won’t fall off

Lightweight these headphones may be but we weren’t overly impressed with the materials used. The over-ear cable feels a little cheap and the weak cable fixing into the 3.5mm audio jack means you’ll need to take care how you store them

The Ultimate Ears 300vi may have that sporty look users are after and the sound quality they offer is nice and bassy but we’re left feeling a little less than impressed with the overall build quality, fine for a short jog but not really up to the long...

Good while it lasted

The earphones provide great quality sound and have a variety of ear buds supplied with them. However after using these for a few months, as others have mentioned, the plastic was ripped by the enclosed thin metal wire. After a few more days the...

Ultimate Ears Headset

Unfortunately this product did not live up to expectations. Only after wearing for 1 day the wire on the piece that goes around the ear came through the plastic/rubber outer casing. Could be a random faulty one or just a bad product, very upset as was...

Nice sound, unreliable craftsmanship

Extemely good sound, well thought design, comfortable to wear - however seriously flawed by the technical embodiment: the set doesn't last more than two-three months. This year I bought 2 of those headsets from Amazon - both developed problems in the...

Good, but they don't last long

Good quality headphones, fit well and contain the sound. However the first pair stopped working properly after about four weeks of use. One of the buds stopped playing audio. I hadn't looked after them well enough so I chalked it down to Me accidently...

Superb earphones if you can get the right fit

I've had these for a few weeks now and use them solely for the gym. It comes with a nice selection of ear buds to suit your size and this is key. If you can get these to fit properly in the "sweet spot" they sound amazing. The bass is superb. My...
