Very nice, balanced sound. If you didn't have the problem with over-ear style, I would have said this alongside the HF5. Earphonesolution coupon?

I own these and I think they are practically useless due to the bizarre shape angle.

I can't fit them in such a way as to shut out the noise.

I am a woman with relatively small ears. Maybe it works for larger people...... But it doesn't matter what cushion I use or how I play around with it, it simply doesn't fit.

 

Why, oh why was the UE triple fi and that whole range discontinued... they fitted me so well!

Sorry for stretching that thread that much... Thank you very much for your participation though! It's kinda hard if you hear such opposing statements like the following one. Maybe I'm just going for some, then I'll make my own experience...

Ups, that sucks. But I might have to try this myself to see wheter it fits or not. Did you have problems with other headphones too?

I purchased the PFE 121 and I am really happy with them. I got a great offer for them, for their normal price I wouldn't even have considered them. Without that offer I would have bought the ETYMOTIC. The PFE 121 delievers very detailed sound, much better than my old apple headphones (obviously...). Though I didn't get any of the other headphones, I want to thank you guys for your active participation and the valuable, much appreciated advice!
