Digital camera reviews of Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v Noise Isolating Earphones w/ Microphone
Digital camera Review: 4.5 Stars -- Good audio quality & comfort...
Summary: 4 Stars
(...and was a good value when I purchased in early June. As of today's review on August 4th, the price is listed as $78. I bought them June 4th for $37. Be aware!)
----
INRO:
I bought this set as a replacement for my Apple earbuds, which had grown quiet (for some reason). I wanted a sound somewhat better than typical low-end earbuds, but I didn't want to spend more than $40. These fit the bill.
Pros:
- Good audio quality (not as good as over-the-ear, but MUCH better than the stock Apple buds)
- Black (non-Apple) appearance (more incognito, if you will)
- Comfortable (multiple sized ear buds included)
- Noise-cancelling (even with iPhone paused, it blocks out office chatter)
Cons:
- Low-quality carrying case (clip snapped and broke upon first use)
- Button on cord is TOO LOW. (Apple's placement directly ON the mic is much, much better, and reduces accidental pressing. Minor flaw for this Ultimate Ears set, however)
SUMMARY:
Overall, "4.5" stars (if I could). Good sound & comfort. Included is a case (which broke the first time I snapped it shut -- you be gentle!-- and several varying sized earbuds to find just the right fit. Low (belly-button height) switch placement is only a minor issue, mostly annoying when I'm doing yardwork with the cord under my shirt. See? Minor.
A very good product.
