Loud Enough Earphones: Ultimate Ears For Your Kids

It's been a while since we brought you some news from Ultimate Ears (the cat eating through the cable to my UE Super.Fi's doesn't count, sadly). But now UE has released its newest offering, and it's for the kids: the Loud Enough earphones. "They've gone barking mad!" you might say, citing expense and the potential damage that might be done to young ears by a max-volume burst of Noddy. Well, you'd be wrong: these earbud 'phones have special volume-limiting tech built in. Plus they're $40. They've got silicon buds down to extra-small size... so I guess the only danger is what inventive kids will get up to with those. [Crave via Gizmodiva]

$1150, Quad-Driver, Ultimate Ears UE-11 Pro Headphones

Ultimate Ears makes some of the best earphones I've ever heard, with the high end UE line made of custom molded pieces with multiple drivers inside. The UE-11 Pro raises the bar to having 4 in each ear, broken down into dual subs, a mid and tweeter. Audio sensitivity is 110dB at 1mW, which is very efficient. Available in a variety of colors and designs (including monograms) for $1150. I believe that's in a custom metal case. [iLounge]

Latest by philbert: Radioshack carried a $100 version of UE's headphones back a while ago, and I was honestly disappointed in them. Bass response was really poor, and they didn't fit well. I've always been happiest with my little Sony buds... Paid $50 more »

High-End Audio Equipment Holiday Wish List

'Tis the season for gift guides and while our gift guide is the best, there's nothing wrong with getting second opinions. CrunchGear recently looked at high-end consumer audio equipment for several different categories, doing a fine job in its own right. The "winners," so-to-speak are: More »

First Look: Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 Pro Reviewed (Verdict: Aural Sex)

What kind of sound comes out of $400 earphones? After reading our post announcing their imminent arrival, curious commenters asked me to let them know how these Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 Pro babies sound, so I got one of the first pairs of these triple driver earphones and reviewed them for Digital Producer. The verdict: these are some skull pounding, magnificent-sounding phones, well worth their steep $400 price and maybe more. The only problem I encountered was the paucity of audio sources that can measure up to their highly accurate sound reproduction. More »

Ultimate Ears metro.fi 2 Headphones Don't Cost a Fortune (For a Change)

While Ultimate Ears may be known for creating some pretty decent headphones, their high price often scares away many potential buyers. Enter the metro.fi 2, a pair of headphones with the distinctly Ultimate Ears looks, but for—get this!—a fraction of the price. Approximately $80 will nab you the headphones, which incorporate much of the same technology that make Ultimate Ears headphones sound so good. Apparently, Ultimate Ears is trying to go after the cheap-o in-ear headphones that the likes of Sony try to pass off as revolutionary. – Nicholas Deleon More »

Latest by n/a: HYBRID8: They do look to have a thick cord, but that's just fine with me. It just means less resistance for the signal, and they're not going to short out after you fold them up a few times. more »

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Is Like Sex in Your Ear Canal

The upcoming triple.fi earbuds from Ultimate Ears promise to give the same performance as their top-of-the-line UE-10 Pros, but don't require custom ear canal fitting. They use a similar triple-driver design, but don't slip out of your ear when listening and don't cost $900. More »

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio Earbuds

Ultimate Ears has just released a lower-end version of its Super.fi earbuds series, the Super.fi 3 Studio. It won't have the dual speakers with high and low frequencies that the premium models (5EB and 5 Pro) are known for, but the 3 Studio doesn't seem half bad for a low-end model. It features precision-balanced speakers that offer full spectrum sound, pro-style ear loops, and a noise-isolating in-ear design. All this, and it's only $99 — much cheaper than its $190+ Super.fi siblings. Apparently Ultimate Ears is able to do this through the use of "less expensive single-diaphragm devices" combined with "higher-priced single-armature products." Whatever it is, I'm glad Ultimate Ears finally came up with a pair of high-quality earbuds that's actually affordable. More »
