again - I'll just say - some people are NOT meant to wear headphones   Let's put it this way - if baseball caps tend to give you a headache after an hour or two, then headphones will too (and you gotta go with 'buds)   I don't know why, but I have a HUGE head - headphones and ballcaps...

SPARKER - sorry for my late note!   No, I did not try UE8 - just the three I stated

NU - I am so sorry to hear about your experience - again, UE was the BEST customer service experience I ever had - I have a contact I can recommend you to email, in terms of filing a complaint, if you'd like? Just drop me a private message if so      

George - THANK YOU!   MH - thank you, as well! According to Apple (just did some research) all of iTunes is now default iTunes Plus as of April of 2009 - so technically, the music off iTunes, while not lossless, is better than before - hopefully I have that straight, unless there's a...

I respect JoeSuburb's attitude and review on the matter - I'm different, in that, I do think designations of 'best' and 'worst' can be made, but I would never want to take away from Joe's review - he clearly is meticulous about his choice   Again, I would say the UE11 does everything the...

Yo goodvibes - your wife not put enough syrup on the 'pancakes' this morning? Lighten up, bro...

Dave and everyone - my apologies!!! In reference to my earlier review, I did not listen to the UE 10s, rather they were the in-ear reference monitors that JoeSuburb raves about (the ones done in collaboration with Capitol Records) So overall, the UE 11s heavily outperformed the in ear...

I have found that B&O equipment, while expensive, is usually exceptional - you get what you pay for (and that includes the steep price on their high end equipment)   Another reason B&O's stuff is so high is because, I believe, most of it is built pretty custom-like, in turn, because its not...

Raw - I'm still pretty positive I tried the UE 10 pro - if not, then it was the next step below the UE 11   Again - if you're mostly on MP3s and MP4s, the UE 11s were built specifically for that

Alya - thanks for your added notes!   Ultimate Ears have the best sales and support team in the world - Apple Computers is also up there, but UE treats their customers like royalty - glad to be part of such a great club with you, brother (the UE 11 club)!

hahaha - thank you Joe!   Because of you, then I'll go ahead and say it was THE BEST again   :)

....and btw - I'm a Constitutionalist who believes in LIMITED GOVERNMENT and hates regulation   That said - it doesn't matter if the law outlaws it or not - headphones WILL restrict your driving senses - you don't need the government to stop you - your own sense of responsibility should stop...

I know there's already a million responses, but I'll just add -   You should NEVER have headphones on while driving - NEVER

I tried the B&Ws in the Apple Store, right up against Beats By Dre   Beats By Dre doesn't hold a candle to the B&Ws - if you're gonna buy headphones, I say get these ones - the sound is excellent - very fine, not too bassy, providing a rich experience that allows you to hear EVERYTHING, even...

lol - fine - it's the SECOND BEST   Everyone happy?   :)
