Sound is good. Doesn't easily fold up to put in your pockets. They pop out of my ears sometimes. What bothers me is the cord is very thick and stiff. When their in your ears the cord sticks out awkwardly,instead of laying flat against you. I been using my 20 dollar j-buds more latly because of the cord.
I bought a set of Metro.fi 2 headphones about a year and a half ago. This was very disappointing and I had to set them aside. Let me start by saying I respect Ultimate Ears and the products they make. The moment I started using them, I fell in love with the sound. They deliver great quality audio but the hardware design, in terms of fit and durability, is missing. Initially, I used them every day at work. I wasn't too crazy about how they fit, even after purchasing additional ear tips, but I thought it was worth it for the sound.Most recently though, they simply started falling apart; the screen filter fell off one side and the other side only transmitted about 25% of the sound it should have (even with balance in the middle).
Good sound and hardware for half the price.I take good care of my headphones and they should have lasted at least another year or two. I think they deliver high quality sound and their reputation precedes them. When I go online to look up warranty or contact information, I'm not finding what I need.In comparison, I just received a pair of Metro.fi 100 earphones and I love them. After about six months, I used them only a few times a week while I was working out. They delivered across a wide frequency range and produced an excellent bass tone. I'm giving the Metro.fi 2 earphones a two out of five. I would not recommend these to anyone.
I bought this earphone 13 months ago, it now has qaulity problem. I can't believe such expense earphone breaks in just over a year. The volume on the left earphone is lower than the right one. I tested on many devices, and even swithed listening on different ears, the same problem. The manufacture tells me it's not covered anymore. Very disappointing.
These don't really fit well in the ears, like others have said. Also, the audio isn't especially clear (especially base and midrange), which for the price they go for is a shame.
I do use my earphones almost every day so they go through a lot of use but if your careful they may last you longer. Also with the wire hardening on my first pair you can hear the thumps of the wire hitting anything from your hand to your chest in the earphones (very annoying).
Although my biggest problems have come with the wires. I've gone through 2 pairs in a little over a year and each time the wire had damaged and it disrupted the sound.
The sound quality for these earphones are really good. With both earphones I had they had begun to get worse with the winter season coming around as the wires hardened, making it easier to break.
The wires are thick and if you tend to roll your earphones to pack them away they'll eventually conform to that shape to and make it more difficult to unravel and use comfortably. These earphones also don't fair so well in the cold.
Overall really good sound just may not last as long as you'd like. The thick and stiff wires also don't make them so great for running or gym usage.
