 not worth the money March 27, 2006

These may be ok if you just listen to music with a lot of bass. If you listen to music with a high frequency give these a miss. If you listen to some classical, especially choral, these earphones distort and rattle like cheap hi-fi speakers.

What can I say, having suffered factory included earphones for many years, I decided to go a bit crazy and spend money on some "in ear" ear phones. I read all the reviews very carefully, looked at the pros and cons of the Shure E3Cs and the much cheaper Sennheiser CX300s (to name a few) over a couple of weeks. Now these have arrived I am so glad I didn't go for either because these Super fi 5s are absolutely amazing!! I've been wearing them all day and there is no ear ache, the noise canceling nature of these earphones is top notch, I cannot hear anything except my music, not even with the TV on full blast as a test! One warning I would give is that when you are crossing the road make sure you look carefully because you wont hear anything coming down the road with these babies in!
Would recommend to anyone thinking of spending a little extra on some "in ear" earphones.

One reviewer said about these earphones "ok if you just like music with a lot of bass" - they are called Extended Bass and are specifically for people who like bass - those who don't have the option of the regular pro version of these earphones which are more balanced - just thought i'd mention it.
I have found no distortion whatsoever and my range of musical taste is very wide (Classical, Electronic, Hip Hop, Dance, Acoustic). I was unsure about buying these because i was worried that the bass would be too overpowering but i couldn't have been more wrong. The bass is certainly strong but it doesn't overpower everything else - if the bass isn't there to begin with it doesn't just add it so listening to acoustic for example sounds absolutely fine. Live recordings sound out of this world!
My biggest complaint about my iPod has been the lousy volume limit, far too quiet with my sony earphones and people kept saying to me "you shouldn't need it that loud bla bla bla" but the point was, it wasn't that loud - hence the problem! No problem with these earphones, i've gone from having to have my ipod on full to having it on less than half - the difference they make to the sound level is unbelievable. The quality of the bass is superb too, no cheap rattly booming at all, it sounds like your head is sandwiched between a set of hifi speakers. I can't get over how powerful they are.
They are also very well built and i like the fact that for 10 you can completely replace the cables when they start to become a bit worn. Fitting them was easy enough but you must make sure you get a proper seal to get the full benefit of how these sound. Madonna and U2 use this brand so they must be doing something right.
Highly recommended and these are an ideal set of phones for the new EU volume limited iPods as they really give your iPod some oomph! I switch my iPod EQ to 'Jazz' or 'classical' when i want more treble - that combined with the bass makes them sound outstanding.

Well my title says it all really. Ive used a number of inear phones for my ipod over the last couple of years and havnt yet been able to find those which provide the full bass i require for the trance, dance, techno music that i listen too.
The sound on these earphones can only be described as amazing, totally blows away shure e2c, sony ex71. The earphones initially look kind of large but once there in your ears they are okay with nice thick cable that can be detached and replaced. Build quality is great as are the accessories you get including the variety of buds to get the best fit, the bendy cable which goes over your ears keeps the earphones inplace and feels more secure.
The sound for me is very balanced, a nice deep thus bass, low mids and enough highs to hear the shreeks and cymbals. If there was a down side it could be that the cable is a bit too thick and is permanently kinked so a tip would be not to wind the cable up too tightly and put them into the box you get supplied with them.
Earphones are very easy to fit....what more can i say but i would definitely recommend a pair even though you pay around 100 they are well worth it
 awesome sound, dodgy wire, even worse support service August 8, 2007

Ive had these earphones for over a year now and i will say these are the best earphones ive used to listen to music with, no matter what genre of music you listen to, its the best for it; 5 out 5 for sound.
What really lets down these earphones is the wire! its not only poorly made but its too short aswell, and for the money that you pay for them you would expect a seriously better quality of wire! after 2months of use slits started to appear and the slightest of tugs on the input jack would ruin the sound quality and the jack itself! 0 out 5 for the wire
and the last let down of this product is the support service! because the problems that i had with these earphones was covered by the 2 year guarantee, they said they would replace it but they never did and never got back to me to let me know what was going on. so im still listenin with them but only through one earpiece because the other one doesnt work because of the dodgy wire and jack!
-1 out 5 for support service
so if your gonna buy this take real care of it! i mean take REAL care of it! the sound quality is worth the purchase its just the rest of it thats the problem!!!
