Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 review: Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4

Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4

The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4 earphones offer clear sound and good noise isolation for those who can get a proper fit. They also feature a sleek, low-profile design and include a case and other handy accessories.

The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4 earphones won't fit all users, and the large aperture can cause discomfort during wear.

The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4 earphones offer a stylish design, clean audio quality, and some useful extras, but the largish aperture might cause some fit and comfort issues for certain users.

Ultimate Ears super.fi 4

Ultimate Ears, manufacturers of the fantastic (and at $1,150, fantastically expensive) UE 11 custom-molded in-canal earphones, has been producing more affordable earphones for a few years now. Granted, for some earphone customers anything more than $20...

Strong audio performance for the price. Decent bass with beautiful highs. iPhone-friendly connector.

Getting a good fit is sometimes difficult. Flimsy design. Significant microphonics (cable thump).

The super.fi 4 may not have the best fit, but when the earphones are firmly lodged in place, you get fine audio performance with strong bass and a clear high end.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4

Ultimate Ears includes five pairs of silicone eartips: four pairs of traditional canalbud tips in different sizes and one pair of dual-flange tips. I found the dual-flange tips to provide the best seal, which also meant the best noise isolation and...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Excellent headphones

The flanger-type earbuds are what i'd reccomend for optimal sound and comfort, the flanger fits me very well and provides a great seal with little discomfort. Keep in mind these headphones are supposed to create a seal, so there is going to be some...

Excellent sound quality. It is very balanced, and while most ECH's tend to be a little lacking in the bass department, but I don't feel that is the case with these ; When they fit, they fit nice and are pretty comfortable (especially when you get used...

They take some getting used to wearing, and can be uncomfortable until you find the best way to wear them ; Sometimes when I wear them in public I can't tell that someone is trying to initiate a conversation with me

Excellent- just needs the perfect fit

This is my second pair, my first having been destroyed in a small accident which was my fault :(. The price is perfect for its performance and with the perfect "comfort seal" these could make for a very enjoyable set of mid/high range earbuds.

Sound is amazing and balanced. Bass is even better (Im a metal head so yea)

Some people just cant seem to find the proper seal. From experimenting Ive found that wearing the earbuds in the opposite ear does wonders for comfort and a nice'n tight seal. First reading the instructions, it seemed rather awkward to put them in the...

Good When they work but extremely poor build quality !

When I first received these headphones I was impressed with the sound they produced but I have owned better sounding headphones for the same price. Disappointingly after using them for a month, the sound broke in one ear and then a few days later in...
