Review : Ultimate Ears (UE) Super.fi 4 and 4vi (iPhone version 4 vi)

I got a chance to spend a few days with the newly launched Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 4 vi, iPhone version of the also new Super.fi 4.

I tested my retail version against the UE’s own Metro.Fi and Shure SE210 – see what I thought about these designed for iPhone Earphones……

Review : ACS / Elacin Custom Hearing Protection (ER9 ER15 ER25)

Tinnitus is not something you want and after one too many concerts I started to get the warning signs. My search for the best in Hearing Protection lead me to the Elacin ER range of Custom Fit Hearing Protectors. ER-9, ER-15, ER-25 all offer different attenuation levels.

Read what I thought about these and at £190 ($380), did they end my search?…..

Westone UM2 – Successor to the Shure E5?

You’re probably wondering whats with the title considering this is a review of the Westone UM2 earphones. Well if you have ever seen the Shure E5c earphones you would be right to think the UM2’s look like the twin brother that never was.

The E5’s have been discontinued and Shure have been left with a gap till the new SE420 are launched. To fill that gap Westone have stepped in with the UM2.

At £230 they are not exactly pocket change goods but they are considerably cheaper than the Shure E5’s – can they outperform the original dual driver earphones?….
