final bump for help

I have the UESF5vi's, bearing in mind I have only had them for a few days:   Pros are the aesthetics and sound IMO, its clear and well balanced, I was skeptical to buy them at first after a few reviews said they had no bass, rolled off etc, but they do have bass, its present and its...

bump

I got my Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5vi's (v2) yesterday from dabs.com, going for £37.00 if any UK head-fiers are interested.   I'm happy with the sound so far, however the microphonics when worn down are terrible, I mean literally everything gets transferred very loudly to the earphones.  ...

Thanks again Mark for replies.   I think I'm going to buy these just for the good price they are going at, after all I'm having to live with standard Apple headphones atm...if I don't feel these UE are 'amazing' I'll just use them for going to the gym and college etc, the over ear design...

whats the bass like on these compared to the S4's? I found the S4 bass a little boomy (got better with burn in) but I liked the amount, wouldn't mind if it was a little less than the S4's but they had good bass IMO.

Quote: just what I want to know before buying them.   @mark, I wasn't aware of that, because on Amazon's return policy it states an item must be faulty to return if the box has been opened, however they refunded me and I had opened the S4's obviously and they were not faulty. Thanks...

Another thing, I'd be more inclined to buy off Amazon for their amazing returns policy. Props to them; took 24 hours for them to receive them after I sent S4's back after opening/listening, they paid for the postage and refunded me the same day they received the headphones back no questions asked.

Quote:   thanks for heads up i'll check out dabs.com, as i said not really bothered about mic function.    Over the UE700? they got pretty good reviews but guess its all personal preference, haven't tried myself.  

Hi,   After returning my Klipsch Image S4's due to the harshness/sibilance which I just couldn't put up with even after 50 hour burn in. However, I did like the bass on the S4's.   Amazon are selling the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5vi  for £49.99 ($79) when it should be £130 ($206) which is...

Okay I think I'm going to send them back, I was very disappointed when I first tried them, actually pretty gutted. However, the sound has got noticeably better but the sibilance is very noticeable even to me, I'm no expert at all.   @Happy-Fi, without completely changing the topic what other...

Quote: lol, good one.   I have tried many different fits, from 'cramming' them in with medium ovals, to resting them in etc. I have the large ovals and they fit nicely but I just find the sibilance a big issue, and they just don't live up to what I read.   Idk...maybe my...

Quote: Yes I am aware they are to be worn inside your ear canal, would of thought that was obvious? lol. I'm wearing the Large oval tips and have even looked on Klipsch for how to ensure a good seal.   Okay I have 34 hours on them now, the only problem I have is the sss's in the music...

just rang amazon UK, yes I have 30 days to return the headphones and will get a full refund. Apparently they even get a courier to pick them up, is this real life? lol

I went through the 'return item' steps on Amazon UK and I believe it is the same as the US store, has all the drop down options to select reason for return etc and also has the print label for postage.   If I have 30 days then I may hang onto them for a few more days, I'm using the large...
