Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 vi

The most expensive IEM with a microphone in the Ultimate Ears line-up (until only recently when the Triple.Fi 10vi was released), the Super.fi 5 vi is a basic earphone meant to introduce the masses to high definition audio. Featuring a single driver armature design, the Super.fi 5 vi features the same top-notch isolation as the rest of the UE line-up. At $189.99, these are a great option for high fidelity travel and on-the-go listening or talking, with a decent amount of background noise isolation, and small body which gives them a much lower profile than UE's more expensive options.
