Amazon.com Product Description

Developed specifically for musicians, M-Audio IE-10 professional reference earphones incorporate stage-proven Ultimate Ears technology to deliver studio-quality sound anywhere you need it. Featuring precision-balanced armature technology and 26dB of isolation, the IE-10 is great for live and mobile monitoring--with the added benefit of being a serious upgrade to the earbuds that came with your personal audio player. The IE-10 delivers better bass response and higher input sensitivity for more sound than anything else in its price range. The included universal fit kit insures optimal comfort and fit, and pro-style ear loops wrap over and behind the ear to keep cables out of the way, relieve cable tension and help keep the earphones in place for a perfect fit. The detachable 46-inch cable is even replaceable to extend the life of your investment.

All IE models feature loops that hook over and behind the ear.

Universal fit kit to ensure optimal isolation and comfort for ears of all sizes.

Proven Ultimate Ears Technology
M-Audio professional reference earphones incorporate acclaimed Ultimate Ears technology--the same industry standard that has revolutionized live performance monitoring. Many of today's best-known touring artists and the sound engineers that make their concerts sound great trust Ultimate Ears for the utmost in comfort, accuracy and reliability.

Monitor Anywhere
M-Audio is synonymous with the mobile recording and production revolution. Now M-Audio IE professional reference earphones with Ultimate Ears technology give you high-definition monitoring on the go without lugging bulky, delicate headphones. They're perfect companions for any mobile studio--like a Pro Tools M-Powered laptop with Transit or other M-Audio interface. They're also ideal for field recording with compact units like the popular M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96. On stage, you can say goodbye to cumbersome monitors and feedback. And you can even use them to pimp your personal MP3 player for critical listening on the go.

Precision-Balanced Armature Drivers
All IE professional reference earphones employ advanced, precision-balanced armature drivers--the same technology used in premium custom earphones--to deliver high efficiency, extended high frequencies and superb natural bass. Armature drivers are also significantly smaller and more accurate than comparable dynamic drivers, which is part of the reason why IE professional reference monitors are so compact.

Universal Fit Kit for Superior Isolation and Comfort
Superior sound isolation (26dB) minimizes outside sound to deliver a purer listening experience--eliminating the need for a bulky pair of noise-canceling headphones. This also helps protect your ears because you don't have to crank up the volume to hear the detail in your music. All IE models include our universal fit kit to ensure optimal isolation and comfort for hours of high-quality listening pleasure. It includes an assortment of ear tips in different sizes and materials for a personalized fit for your ears.

Professional Ear Loops
The hanging cables in traditional designs can catch on nearby objects and cause the earpieces to loosen or pop out altogether. All IE models feature professional-style loops that hook over and behind the ear to minimize that problem. And if your 46-inch detachable cable ever does become damaged, simply replace it instead of your earphones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding value..., May 17, 2007

I bought these instead of the IE-20s because I just couldn't rationalize spending that much money no matter how hard I tried. In hindsight the IE-20s would have been better for me BUT when I goosed the low end EQ on my MP3 player, the sound was exactly what I wanted, crystal clear, awesome resolution and depth, and a soundspace that was amazing. I had to drop the volume on my MP3 player by 25% because these have such "head filling" sound.
Well worth what I paid for them!

4.0 out of 5 stars ie-10 sound pretty good :), June 7, 2007

I have bought ie-10 to be able to do denoising while being on train and sound isolation helps a lot to it. Now I can even listen at much lower volumes and still hear fine details . The sound quality is pretty good and I would compare it with conventional headphones, maybe there is something missing from classical music and bass resolution, but not that it would matter at this price. I would say it's money well spent.

In general it is a good product, it is shipped with a noise reduction device which is attached to the end of the earphone, it works perfectly in the subway, the only problem I am having is that the cord is starting to sulphate which you can notice because the cord is transparent and in the end you will see something green, but in general is a good product.
