I currently use Ultimate Ears Super Fi3 Studios for everyday use, which means listening to music and podcasts on my ipod while commuting and running. I really like the sound of these (I am by no means an audiophile), but the second cord just broke (this one last 3 months) and I think it's time for another pair.
Here's what I like about the Super Fi3s:
- good sound, seems pretty neutral
- not heavy bass (I really don't like a big bass sound)
- over the ear cords; most comfortable for running - at least for me
- sound isolation
Here's what I don't like:
- customer service stinks since Logitech purchased IE
- cords keep breaking
I probably want to stay in the $200 range, though cost is not a primary driver. I do want a natural sound, without an over-emphasized bass. I do want over the ear cords.
I really like the sound and fit of UEs but am afraid to shell out more money for a product that doesn't seem to have good build quality. Was thinking about Etymotics but wanted to see what people thought given my preferences.
