3.0 out of 5 stars Dear Logitech... August 3, 2011

By tusharpateluk

Color Name:Gray

Dear Logitech,

Let me say this before I get started: I have tried many in-ear headphones, iBeats Headphones with ControlTalk From Monster® - In-Ear Noise Isolation - Black, Bose® IE2 audio headphones, and Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones. I was looking or noise-isolating earphones with good sound quality. That's a pretty reasonable request, right? NOPE.

iBeats did not fit my ears well even though they come with lots of goodies (they were high quality too), BOSE IE2 ones did not provide noise-isolation but they sounded the best and were the most comfortable, Klipsche earbuds were fitting my ears well but they produced a tinny sound when plugged into my laptop.

Then I stumbled upon UltimateEars. I am going to keep it short and simple with pros/cons.

PROS:
1. Though not as good as the BOSE IE2 headphones, the sound quality is astonishing when looking at the price of $39.99. The highs and lows are very pronounced. Some people might complain that the bass is not as heavy as iBeats, but in reality, I like my music to sound as original as the artists intend to be.
2. It also works with my iPhone. All of the functions are same as the original Apple iPhone earphones. So nothing new.
3. Looks very professional. Opposite audience from SkullCandy's flashy earphones.
4. The cord is relatively tangle free, not the best though.

Cons:
1. No tie-cable to keep the headphones from tangling. I have never run into an issue with iBeats or the generic Apple headphones.
2. Earbuds can fit, but they are not the best.
3. The bag provided with this is too small. Matter of fact, the ziplock bag that contains all extra earbuds is also too small. Once you take out the earbuds, it's a challenge to put them back in. It's also a challenge to wrap the headphones and squeeze them into the black bag.
4. BIGGEST OF ALL: They make distorting sound when there is any movement. Even if I turn my head a little bit, the cords brush up against my shirt and the sound magnifies. Matter of fact, when I am watching a movie, the noise is so loud that it sometimes keeps you from hearing the quiet scenes. Logitech's website recommends looping the cord, but in all reality, I don't think that's a practical way to wear them.
5. Needless to say that headphones with earbuds are not ideal for exercising. As a matter of fact, if your ear canals produce too much sweat, they can wet the driver.

It is a shame that the foam gels are not given with this model. Maybe they might help with the noise associated with movement.

So dear Logitech, please spend some time and effort into reducing the astounding noise that is produced by the slightest movement of my head.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provides Balanced Sound and Good Isolation July 12, 2011

By R. Angeloni VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Gray

I have a long commute and take public transit. My music helps me get through my commutes and I look for headphones to deliver superior sound and isolate me from my surroundings. The Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise Isolating IEMs delivers on both counts.
If you are using passive noise isolation or cancelling earphones, then the most important factor is fit, and how snug the earphones fit into your ear canal. To that end, Logitech provides five sets (XXS-L) of soft silicone ear cushions, so chances are, you will find a good snug fit that will block noise. While a passive noise cancelling system will never equal an active system, passive headphones are usually much cheaper and you don't have to worry about carrying extra batteries for your headphones noise cancellation system.
I found that the largest size provided the tightest fit for my ears, and I tried them out on a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train. I'm happy to report that the Ultimate Ears 200vi's did a great job of blocking most external noise, including the loud announcements by train operators. While some sound does seep in, enough external noise was blocked to allow me to enjoy my music.
The headphones provide accurate and balanced sound. Bass is not overwhelming, and the mids and highs are very clear.
I gave it four stars because the on-cord controls and integrated microphone didn't work on my Android Incredible phone. The on-cord controls did work on my iPod Touch, so I imagine the controls should work well with an iPhone or Blackberry (as advertised). The on-cord controls are also very close to your face, which I guess is good when using the on-board mic but somewhat awkward (and difficult to see) when you are trying to use the controls to skip a song.
I highly recommend the Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise Isolating headphones. The price is right, and the headphones provide accurate sound reproduction and solid noise isolation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good headphones for everyday use July 12, 2011

By Michael Salazar

Color Name:Gray

I like having one headset for use on both my cell phone and for listening to music or other audio on my computer. This headset works very well in both situations. On my Android phone, the volume controls do not work, but the play pause button does, and it works for answering calls. On my MacBook the controls do not work at all. Both the play and volume buttons work fine on the Ipad 2.

The five sizes of rubber adapters are a nice touch and it really helps to seal out the noise (i.e. noise isolating). The rubber tips are very flexible and comfortable. The wires also have a nice feel to them. They are pliable and don't feel cheap.

The sound quality with the tips firmly seated in the ear is very good. THey are more than adequate for listening to music for long periods of time. Phone conversations are likewise clear. A few people thought I sounded a bit muffled when talking on the phone so I deducted one star from the overall review. All in all I am very happy with this headset. Also the included pouch is a very nice accessory that helps keep them from getting tangled.
