(More customer reviews)The Good:
The Ultimate Ears 500 Delivers crystal clear sound with beautiful rendering of acoustic, rock, classical and hip hop.
The noise cancellation works better than expected for most in ear earphones (you can barely hear someone speaking to you at 3 feet).
The flat cable is nearly tangle free. It does exhibit some memory (stays coiled if you stored it coiled). The cable has a right angle at the connector and feels very strong. Also, the cable is 4 feet long (I measured it) which is great for taller people who put their mp3 player in their pants pockets.
I'm 5'10" and I can put my iphone in my cargo shorts pockets and the cord still has some slack.
Comes with 6 different ear cushions to fit any size ear, which is important to get sound isolation and optimize bass response.
You really can wear them over the ear comfortably which helps them stay on better if your running.
The packaging is elegant and is a page from the apple playbook.
The Bad:
The one fault of the sound quality of these earphones is the bass response. When listening to music that is bass heavy, the bass response is average (but still blows away any stock earbuds). If you primarily listen to hip hop or rap, these may not be the best choice for you.
I wish these had a microphone. This isn't really a negative because they aren't advertised with a mic...it'd just be nice.
When you run with these headphones and you rub the cords on your shirt, there is some cable noise (microphonics) which translates into a scraping or rubbing sound to your ears. If you wear the cables over your ears, this almost completely removes this cable noise with these earphones.
The Review:
If you're looking for a replacement for those white ipod earbuds these earphones definitely should be near the top of your list.
The sound fidelity is crystal clear and the noise reduction works great.
I think these would also be great for active people/ runners as they are comfortable for long periods of time and when you wear the cables over the ear there is no cable noise when it rubs on your collar or shirt.
People who travel on airplanes or public transportation or any noisy environment will appreciate the noise isolation that lets you enjoy your music without distraction.
For under $100 it would be hard to find a better value.
