Ultimate Ears 700 - A Very Good Feature Mix For Upper-Mid-Range Earphones,
August 21, 2009 This review is from: Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones are a good quality premium set of in-ear monitors. After several weeks of thoroughly testing these earphones and comparing them to the army of others that I own, my impressions have improved. These earphones have many of the best qualities that those seeking compact in-ear monitors (IEMs) are looking for. In each individual category, however, they are mostly bested by alternatives. You will have to review the entire range of features and decide if these provide the right blend of strong points to meet your needs.
WHO SHOULD BUY THESE EARPHONES?
These might be the right head-phones for you if you:
1. Are demanding about sound and really want better low-end sound reproduction than most compact IEMs.
2. Need good sound isolation and have normal to small ear...Read more

Excellent Fidelity, but Wire to Plug Connection is Fragile,

I have been using my new Logitech "Ultimate Ears" 700 Noise-Isolating Earphones for most of the past weekend non-stop on my IPod. Most important, I am one of those people who like deep throbbing base! As I write this review, I am listening to Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me Baby," having recently listened to my collection of Petty, Steely Dan, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Given the physical limitation of ear pieces, I understand that there are practical constraints. Yet the base is strong, clear, and comes across distinctly from the other components of each track. (You like soft rock? Listen to your Carpenters music on these earphones. You can hear what a perfectionist Richard Carpenter really was. They make Brian Wilson's vocal arrangements sound even better.)
To backup a bit and for context, up to this point I had been dealing with the headphones that came from Apple with the IPod. Not only are they low fidelity, but they never fit snugly into both ears! I excercise with my...Read more

Excellent IEMs when used with foam tips,

(Note 1: I want to emphasize that I consider these 5-star IEMs when used with Comply foam tips. Using foam tips both increased the bass slightly and cut down on the high end sizzle. The highs are too hot when using the the supplied silicon tips - I suspect that some negative reviews about the UE 700s treble are based on using them with silicon tips.)
The Ultimate Ears 700 Noise Isolating Earphones are an excellent set of inner ear monitors (IEMs) that have some amazing features and qualities. I have one issue with their durability, but despite that I am happy to give the UE 700s a high recommendation.
During listening sessions with the 700s I compared them with a set of Denon AHC751K In-ear Headphones and a set of full sized...Read more
