Far better then other in-ears we've seen by the same manufacturer, these headphones are simply brilliant

Similar looks to other models; only adequate call quality
These Ultimate Ears in-ears are a heck of a lot better then other offerings we've seen from this company.
Not where call quality is concerned, mind you: the cable looks identical to other models, and calls are similarly adequate.
But play music and these prove to be toe-tappingly rhythmic and fast-paced, creating bags of attack and excitement.
Dynamics are similarly impressive – they can do the low-level stuff that makes vocals sound more emotive, as well as the bigger shifts that make an orchestral score sound more epic. In short, brilliant.
