Ultimate Ears 700 (Dark Silver) review: Ultimate Ears 700 (Dark Silver)

Logitech purchased the California-based Ultimate Ears back in 2008 and set to work on repackaging its entire line of headphones, including the UE 700 Noise-Isolation Earphones. The updated model features new packaging adorned with Logitech branding, a...

Logitech updates the Ultimate Ears 700 noise-isolating headphones with seven new ear tip options and a tougher travel case while preserving the headphones' lightweight design and nuanced sound dynamics.

Logitech no longer includes the attenuator and splitter cord that came with the first version.

With a sleek design, a range of ear tips, and supreme sound reproduction, the Ultimate Ears 700 headphones are worthy of an audiophile's ear and earn our recommendation.

Review: Ultimate Ears 700 Noise-Isolating Earphones

I have oddly shaped ear holes. As a result, in-ear monitors and my listening tubes have simply never jibed, regardless of “sleeve” size or magical...

Exquisite sound reproduction in an insanely small package. Handy in-flight attenuator saves you from Captain Blowhard’s eardrum-exploding announcements. Fuller, richer base and wider frequency response than previous UEs

Spendiferous. Cable noise will be distracting for joggers or anyone planning to use the headphones while exercising. Despite its redesign, the pocket case is still too small to fit all the accouterments

Review: Ultimate Ears 700 noise isolating earphones

Summary: I've been a dedicated Shure earphone user for a long time, despite all the good things I've heard about Ultimate Ears. But after using the Ultimate Ears 700 earphones for a few weeks, I can say this: I'm a believer. Enjoying a pair for in-ear...

Reviews: Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones

Once known for its often Frankensteinesque large plastic earpieces, Ultimate Ears has spent the past couple of years designing smaller, sleeker earphones that use comparatively beautiful metals and metallic plastics, and the results have been...

Ultimate Ears 700's $230 MSRP-matched by even higher online pre-order prices-means that for the time being, even aggressive online shoppers will most likely wind up paying more for this model than q-JAYS, which is unfortunate: though our sonic...

Ultimate Ears 700 Noise-Isolating Earphones

Ultimate Ears delivers an excellent and affordable set of dual-driver earphones.

That the Ultimate Ears 700 earphones can be so small and yet sound so good is close to magic. That they're also priced lower than the competition is practically sorcery.

Ultimate Ears 700 review

These buds have a clear and open sound, but a vicious and edgy top-end limits any appeal they might have

Clear and open ; a good fit

Too bright ; can get edgy

Despite a clear sound, these buds don't impress with a harsh top-end

Ultimate Ears 700 review

These tiny earplugs are expensive but they're well-specified and comfortable, coming with five ear fitting pairs, a hard case and a two-year warranty. They look gorgeous, finished in a glossy gunmetal with translucent red plastic to mark out the...

Outstanding sound quality – but only as long as you don’t want lots of bass.

Ultimate Ears 700 headphones review

The Ultimate Ears 700 earphones may be aspiring to the old ‘the best things come in small packages' adage, but it's not one we generally subscribe to. After all, you can't fit in a 50-inch Pioneer Kuro inside a matchbox, and we do love our big TVs here...

Exceptional high-end detail, Small and comfortable to wear

Not at all suitable for those that don't like bright-sounding buds

A killer pair of headphones - just make sure your downloads are top quality before using
