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.
MSRP $189.99

Pros
- superior sound quality to stock buds and the majority of buds found on the market
- fair amount of isolation - perfect for use in louder places without completely being taken out of your surroundings
- built in microphone is perfect for dual listen/talk use on cellphones
Cons
- quite pricey for a technically inferior IEM
- highest level IEM/Mic combo is still far behind what UE produces - unlike the Etymotic offering
