Scroll down a bit past half way and you'll find the super.fi 5 eb on sale for 88 (there's only 6 left).
just a heads up for anyone who wants to get a pair

IMO, absolutely no contest at all. the EBs have so much bass that they sound (to me) overbearing, and cover up any mid and high range clarity and detail. the sound is still warm and fun if you don't mind the excessive bass, but the super.fi 5 EB are hardly up to "audiophile" standards, as far as overall SQ goes. If you want to compare the UM2s to any Ultimate Ears IEM, the super.fi 5 pro is the closest match

Gotcha, thanks for the info

 

[misterDX]

yea, unless you are a basshead stay away from them

 

[Computerstud]

x2.....If they have anywhere near the bass of the marshmallow.....it's too much....the marshamallow makes me want to vomit every time I hear them. Maybe, I'm just used to the crystal clear sound of my im716.
I was thinking about picking up a pair, but I can't take too much bass.

 

[MrMajestic2]

There are now 90 left for $84!!

 

[koike]

thats because its not burned in.
i swear they sound amazing after clocking 150 to 200 hours.
no longer muddy. no longer overbearing. the bass no longer covers any of the mid bass nor muddies the mids.
