Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10vi
Launched in early December 2008, the Triple.Fi 10vi replace the Super.fi 5vi as the highest quality Ultimate Ears earphone with a built in microphone for use with mobile phones. Featuring the guts of the Triple.Fi 10 Pro, the Triple.Fi 10vi utilizes the same 3-driver design as found in Ultimate Ears top UE10 custom design - for only a fraction of the price. The built in microphone, which is designed for use with the iPhone and 3.5mm Blackberry bumps the price up $20 (like any other vi model) - bringing the full price of the Triple.Fi 10vi to a rather lofty $420.
MSRP $419.99

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
- can be used with any range of sources and amplification - including every day personal media players such as iPods
- same internal system as what was once considered the undisputed best IEM in the world (UE-10)
- 2-year warranty
Cons
- very expensive
- not as comfortable or as isolating as a custom fitted IEM (such as the much more expensive UE-10, or a similarly priced Freq)
- should be driven out of a dedicated amp with a better source than the every-day portable media player for best sound quality (will disable microphone functionality)

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
Cons
- Hard to insert into the ears, requires both hands to insert. Fit is not comfortable even with different buds.
- Relatively fragile: Controls highly susceptible to water damage, memory wire around the ears tends to poke through the rubber casing and cable snaps relatively easily if accidentally tugged.
