Super.fi 5 Liquid Silver vi

With a smaller size, the Super.fi 5vi has the best fit of the UE family. It is super-light. It's a complete solution since you get the earphones and the mic built-in the cable. The best seal was achieved with the Comply Tips (foam). It is nice to have the option of routing the cables behind your ears or to just let them dangle like regular earbuds.

The sound is a pleasant surprise. It is clear and strong on the mids and highs. However, do not expect excellent bass. Depending on the song you are listening to, it tends to be bright.

Phone calls were no hassle to handle. The mic reproduces your voice loud and clear. At times my caller complained about background noise, so mind your surroundings.

The inline button lets you pause the songs, skip them (forwards and backwards) and take calls. Everything is pretty straight-forward.

• "single click" = pause/play song or take/end incoming calls
• "double click" = skip song forward
• "triple click" = skip song backward

Ultimate Ears SUPER.Fi 5vi uses the same speaker and sound signature used in our professional monitors. It offers the most detailed and sonically rich experience when listening to all type of musical genres. The top fire armature produces a detailed and full soundstage. There is an integrated voice functionality that is specifically designed for use with the iPhone and 3.5mm Blackberry. This allows for hands free phone calls. The SUPER.Fi 5vi also features a multi-function button that answers/ends phone calls and controls music/video. The liquid silver body with UE logo is stylish, low profile and ideal for a person on the go. The earphones are color coded and makes for easy left and right identification. Cables can be worn down for casual listening or over the ear for active lifestyles.

The 1 year warranty provided by UE is not ideal. Fit and comfort are good.
