Comments on Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4 Canalphones

Competition is hot under £100, and at £75 the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4s come in at possibly the trickiest price point there is - at the bottom end of what an audiophile might consider, yet at the upper end of the scale of what a keen yet stingy iPod owner might buy. And these headphones don't quite hit the mark. Build is top quality and there's a good range of accessories in the box, but the sound quality just doesn't come up to scratch for me. There's no doubting these are highly capable headphones, but the tuning of the single driver is just too dry and this results in a sound that's hard-edged, harsh and difficult to listen to for extended periods. After several days of listening to these, I was more than happy to go back to my Sennheiser CX400's and Shure E2c's. Neither is perfect, but both are a lot easier on the ear.

7/10
