one more thing to surprise you guys, i also prefer the stock cable to westone es cable. like i said before, i like super fi pro because it's musical and the es cable somewhat take away that part. it became all clean and detail. the bass got tight, tighter. it's just not what i like about it
i have just upgraded from bose triport around ear and (possibly fake) sennheiser cx 500's that I traded for the bose 1.) to help out a friend whom had the bose but needed iems bc he had none and like to run. we traded. 2.) I knew i was going to be purchasing new iems. I chose the sf5p over the jays q-jays, atrios, sleeks, and ety's mostly bc they have a "fun" sound and were reported to hav a good bass response.
So far, I love my ultimate ears. I truly found so much new love to music (which is incredible considering my relationship with tones). I hav had no experience with the customer service department yet and hopefully will not anytime soon.
x3, though I'm about to return my 5 EBs since I snagged them on a luggage strap and pulled one of the wires from the soldered connection. Doing just fine with my 5 Pros in the meantime. Love then both!
Just got these earphones. Very nice. I also have a pair of Shure e4c's and really like the soundstage improvement. Everything is better except the Shures are smaller (obviously).
I just bought mine from Head-Fier, Usagi. All I have to say is OMG! I'm hearing things in music I've never heard before. Its like I've never listened to music before and I've wasted 32 years of my life until I got these.
Bought mine on the FS forum from a member for cheap and like them. The bass isn't that bad, I mean really not bad at all, what was everyone complaining about? Got some shure foams on there so it's nice and comfy and the cord never really bothered me, it's the one off my sf3s.
One thing I notice about the Super-fi EBs' is the highs and mids sound somewhat overwhelmed by the bass at low levels, but as the volume rises, everything kind of evens out. Really quite fun headphones to listen to. I have not listened to the 5 Pros, but the EBs are really good monitors for the price. And Ultimate Ears' customer support is first rate!!
Hi, just got the Super fi.5 Pros from someone for $85 (saw they were like $150 on ebay so it was too good to pass up) and at first listen I didn't like them so much. They sounded like my Shure E2C's but richer, fuller, and way more bassy. I wanted to hear an increase in clarity but have not yet. After laying back and relaxing, I am starting to like these. The vocal and drum audio leans to the left as my audio leans to the right on my Shures. I guess it's because of th eway music is recorded. Anyone else hear this? I do like the flatness of the E2C's because it sounds more natural but I'll keep listening and tell you how I think in about a week or 2. They sound like a party is in your head so far, kind of like my BOSE ie's sounded but these are better, better fitting, and more detailed than those. Thanks.
I just started using my 5.pro's again after replacing the lead. I hadn't used them for about 18 months, after going back to my Etymotic ER-6i's.
The UEs are a difficult fit for my ears as they are difficult to get far enough into my ear. I use ER-6i tri flanges and reverse the earpieces. It is not the most comfortable, but i do get isolation. In the past though, i have suffered abrasions inside my ears due to a sharp corner of the UE's molding. The bass was way too prominent for me and that combined with UE's great dynamic range made them very uncomfortable aurally for me as well. It was if i had something buzzing around in my ears making them itchy.
Now I find if I keep the volume way down, they sound great. I just can't wear them for longer than an hour.
eb is a really funny headphone. i've been amping it with sr71a and wow, the highs and mids are here now, still not as good as triple fi or even super fi pro but it's good enough now. and the bass, the bass just wow. just unbelievable. it's quick, it's strong still boomy. yummy.
