the Super Fi Pro 5 sound pretty pleasant to me. nice balanced sound. I find the bass a bit too much, but it's only a matter of personal taste. you shouldn't be disappointed. bought mine from HeadRoom -- received after 3 days (from usa -> uk), unbelieveble!

don't know about the other 2's

I found the Super.fi 5 EB had a horribly unbalanced, muddy, bass-heavy sound but I enjoy the Super.fi 5 Pro immensely. It's primary competitors would be the Shure E4C ($300) or Westone UM2 (also $300). That pretty much knocks those two off my list, at least when I was purchasing. I did inherit a Shure E4C short after but found the Super.fi 5 Pro much more listenable. The shure became a gift and the Super.fi's got jacked.

I might have to complete the trio and go for the UM2's, but not at $300.

My recommendation is thus the Super.fi 5 pro. From earphonesolutions.com.

earphonesolutions sells the UE Super fi pro for 199.
It's a very fun, relatively fast, and extreemly well balenced IEM.
addressing bellow: the UE's with small tips are very confortable... and the new cord is excellent.

If I had to do it over again I'd have bought the cheapest IEMs I could find my first time around. Comfort was an issue for me. What good is listening to great-sounding music if it hurts when I smile?

By no means is this true for everyone. Lots of people love find their 5pros and with good reason.
