I bought both so I can actually compare them back to back.
It may sound weird but I guess I just don't have audiophile-level ears like you guys.
Here's my summary to make long story short.
Audio Source:
iPod nano 4GB
Earphones:
SuperFi 5 Pro- treble and bass is superb compared to the rest...
vs
SuperFi 3- treble is nice...bass lacks when it's compared to even $35 sony 71ex...volume is as loud as superfi pro even at the same volume level. overall very clear and tight...
vs
Sony71EX- volume is very low even at the same volume level compared to super3 and 5..but when I raise the volume to 80% it just as good as the rest. i can notice 71ex is slighty muddier..
So the biggest difference I'm hearing is the volume level. I don't know why but SuperFi earphones are considerably louder at the same volume level. I guess this is a definite plus. Other than that, I hear subtle differences in treble and bass compared to 71EX but I don't think that constitutes the price difference of $65~165..When 71EX is raised to appropriate volume level...they perform as good as SuperFis..
Am I weird or what? My ear is bad?
