Ultimate Ears Metro fi 100v Noise Isolating Earphones for iPhone Black

For over 12 years, Ultimate Ears has been designing custom ear monitor products for your favorite professional musicians for use on stage and in the studio. Musicians put their hearts, their souls, their breakups, their memories and their passions into every song and they count on Ultimate Ears products to get the most out of their music. Now, Ultimate Ears has taken the same sonic principles and technology used in its custom personal monitors to create a line of earphones specifically geared for use with the Apple iPhone.

Ultimate Sounds for Apple iPhone Owners

	super.fi 4vi The super.fi 4vi incorporates the same speaker technology and sound signatures used in Ultimate Ears custom personal monitors, featuring detailed bass with crisp and clean mids and highs. In addition, the noise isolating design reduces ambient interference and enhances sound quality. The ultra-compact and lightweight housing makes for a comfortable fit and is perfect for the active, fashion-minded consumer. The machined aluminum housing compliments the sophisticated look and feel of the iPhone. An in-line control button allows you to answer and end phone calls, as well as control music and video playback functions.
	triple.fi 10vi The triple.fi 10vi is a high-end consumer earphone with integrated voice functionality that is based on the same technology and sound signature used in Ultimate Ears custom monitors. The triple.fi 10vi features integrated voice functionality and is specifically designed for use with the iPhone. A miniature high-performance microphone allows for hands-free phone calls, and an in-line multi-function button allows users to answer and end calls, as well as control music and video playback. Inside the triple.fi 10vi are three individually proprietary armature speakers that produce a full spectrum audio experience. The proprietary armature speakers are tuned for full and detailed bass while delivering crisp and clean highs. In addition, the noise isolating design reduces ambient interference and enhances sound quality. The armature is embedded in an anodized aluminum housing that is both small and lightweight, and is an aesthetic complement to the iPhone.
	metro.fi 100v The metro.fi 100v offers all the superior sound quality and noise isolation of the metro.fi 100 and adds an in-line microphone and control button for hands-free convenience, allowing users to listen to their music and talk comfortably. Designed to fit the unique Apple iPhone headset jack (and other mobile phones with this same headset jack), the metro.fi 100v also features a fabric cord for tangle-free storage. The form factor is small and lightweight, providing excellent comfort and fit. Through it’s comfortable in-ear design, the metro.fi 100v provides noise isolation that reduces ambient interference and enhances sound quality. Accessories include three sizes of silicone ear tips: small, medium and large, as well as a pocket-ready hard carrying case.
	metro.fi 150v The metro.fi 150v has all the great features of the metro.fi 150, but also features integrated voice functionality and is specifically designed for use with the iPhone (and other mobile music phones with the same headset jack). A miniature high-performance microphone allows for hands-free phone calls. An in-line multi-function button answers and ends calls, and also controls music and video playback on your iPhone. The metro.fi 150v has excellent acoustic speaker technology, making it one of the best in-ear speaker products in its price range. Its comfortable design provides noise isolation that reduces ambient interference and enhances sound quality. The body has a lightweight yet durable form factor for the active lifestyle. Accessories include three single-flange silicone ear tip sizes, one set of dual-flange silicone ear tips, and a pocket-ready hard carrying case.

5 Stars First impressions: BUY THESE NOW
These are unbeatable for the price!!! I think i might buy another pair of these just for backup.

Pros:

1) Great sound. Everyone has different taste, and one gets used to what one has… BUT i way prefer the sounds of these to my Sennheiser MX-400 In-Ear Headphones. These are not as good as my Sony MDR-V6. But they sound good.

2) Comfort. These fit very much like the Senn MX series phones. Easy to put in and take out. Suitable for long term wear.

3) Build. The cable is sheathed in a cloth braid. This is genius! It all but eliminates the noise caused by the cable rubbing against your shirt as you walk. It has a slimline 3.5 mm jack which looks like it would be compatible with Gen 1 iPhones. (I have a 3G so, i can’t test this).

4) iPhone compatibility: button works for pausing music and is easier to press than the button on the built in apple ear buds.

Cons: People on the other end say that they can hear me clearly but the mic is not quite as good as the built in mic. These certainly are not the best sounding phones one can get. But for the price they are 5 stars.

If i was ranking them for quality regardless of price, i would give 3.5 stars since one can do better with a $180 pair of Etymotic Research HF2 Earphones / Headset (iPhone Compatible) – Ruby

1 Star Worst Headphones EVER!!!
I bought these headphones after reading some of the reviews online and could not have been more mistaken. The sound from the headphone cord gets transferred into the headphones at the slightest movement so listenting to music is constantly inturrepted by sounds of whatever touches the cord. I have bought headphones of varying quality over the years, but these were the worst. You will be wasting your time buying these headphones because you’ll end up returning them.

5 Stars Durable, decent sound, good button
I got these for just $10 more than the Apple headphones, and they are 5X better. The cords have a very durable woven cover, and they are generously long. They should last forever if you use the little case they come with. The button+microphone is easier to use than the Apple headphones. Sound is not as good as my Etymotics, but they are just fine. My girlfriend can hear me clearly on calls, and I can hear her just fine.

I am very happy with this purchase.

4 Stars Metro.fi 100v Noise Isolating Earphones for iPhone
This headset works just as advertised. Good response at all frequencies. I enjoy them quite thoroughly.

1 Star Very low end for UE..Disappointed..
Discontinued product

Big bulky mic and button rattles, very cheap feeling. Sound is poor. I own several UE high end headphones and love them. This is the old version, no longer being made by UE.
