Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v worth it?

I haven't heard the MetroFi 200, but I own a set of the Altec Lansing UHP306 which are supposedly the same thing. They sound pretty good, I suppose, and would probably make a decent set of backup 'phones at that price but for only $10 more you can get the Altec Lansing UHP336 which is a rebadged SuperFi 3.

This is my sister's In-Ear of choice, and IMO after trying it... not really, although it IS cheap. I'd scale up a bit and look at Nuforce NE-7M, Apple In-Ears, or Phonak Audeo PFE (the version with mic) for ones with in-line mic option.

But if you are thinking of these just for the sake of getting a deal, then no.

I find the mf200/uhp306 to be rather large and a bit on the heavy side. Not what I'd consider an ideal "workout" IEM, but then again, I don't like IEMs while I'm working out.

I had a pair of these. they were utterly underwhelming.
Didn't have the classic ultimate ears energy, and i considered them very flat (as in boring). highs were a little recessed, and bass wasn't impressive.

Not sure how i can this much more clearly than that i was thoroughly uninterested.

I got the nuforce NE-7Ms instead. which sound a ton better and cost $50.

I bought a pair of these off Amazon last week for $30. They are better than any $30 phones I've had before. The bass is not as extended as some of my higher end phones, but it's better than my Etymotics 4s. As mentioned above, the sound is a bit analytical. Perhaps this will change as the phones break in. Comparing them to bass heavy phones such as the Monster Turbine (which I took back), I like these better. The flanges are a bit large for small ear canals. Still, these are good for a work out walk or other, rougher activities where you might not want to carry around $400 phones.

Bummer, I just got them. Its going to be my first in ear, I hope not too much of a disappointment. I will report back here and tell you what I think. I read good recommendations of them else where here, at the $25 price point.

In any case, I am looking at getting a Graham Slee Voyager amp and some top of the line in ears once I have that. Lots of research bound to happen here at head fi.

Well did you like them?

I'm pretty fond of the U.E's 200. their pretty solid in ears in all areas. they have a good amount of bass after burn in, they have decent sound reproductions and they use a good quality cable.

I have the UHP 206 and I was shocked at how nice they sound.

 

Good low end with a crisp top end and a midrange that wasn't too recessed.

 

I plan on trying the UHP 306 and the UHP 336
