Product Description
The TRIPLE.Fi is a high-end consumer earphone with integrated voice functionality that is based on the same technology and sound signature used in our custom monitors. The TRIPLE.Fi 10vi features integrated voice functionality and is specifically designed for use with the iPhone. A miniature high performance microphone allows for hands free phone calls. An in-line multi-function button answers and ends calls and controls music/video on iPhone. Inside the TRIPLE.Fi 10vi are three individually proprietary armature speakers that produce a full spectrum audio experience. The proprietary armature speakers are tuned for full and detailed bass while delivering crisp and clean highs. In addition, the noise isolating design reduces ambient interference and sound quality. The armature is embedded in an anodized aluminum housing that is both small and lightweight and is an aesthetic complement to the iPhone.

These Buds come with the full arsenal for a great listening experience. They come with four types of buds, one type a foam kind that fits to your ear perfectly, so they are what I use. And when you put them in, you can't hear anything outside or around you. Airplanes with crying babies are no match; the buds cancel ambient noise by design.
The main selling point for me was the iPhone compatibility, with the mic and play button. Works great, and the only complain from a realllly picky perspective would be that the button be right below the mic, instead of on the main chord, as the mic and button are separate on the chord. But it makes no difference.
Another thing I like is the wire that comes out of the bud end. There is a wire about 2 inches long inside the cord that you can bend so when you put them over your ear they stay in place, which is great when I run and move around. They are large, due to the three drivers in each bud, but are worth it. From low to high frequency, they play music back as accurately as possible.
I record my music in lossless formats on my computer, so playback comes at CD quality. After a couple weeks of listening, this is what I found: Bass is strong. Now I wouldn't use these phones for a DJ or anyone whose only concern is bass, but every low chord or beat comes out as if you were right there playing it yourself. But this is what got me. The best sound quality for these speakers comes in the mid-high to high frequencies. It doesn't matter how high the sound is, be it a trumpet blaring, guitar at high E with cymbal crashes, or a female soprano hitting the highs, the speakers won't crack or fuzz like cheap headphones, and when comparing them to the generic iPhone ones I regretfully was using before, the difference is extremely pleasant and refreshing. This is quite something, since the first thing I listen to is Bass quality, so for the crisp highs to take away my attention from Bass is saying something.
One last thing for the listening experience that is a great joy to listen to is their reproduction of the sound itself. Some speakers make you feel like you're in the studio, others make you feel like you're listening by the studio, and each headphone is different. This is called sound stage, and the UE's reproduce it very well. Unamped, they can put you there
The case is great (practical) and I use it all the time, as well as the extender when I need to. For Audiophiles such as me, pictures and specs are on their website at [...]. They show you how to wrap the cord around your ear like i explained earlier, which is nice.
I have many headphones, including AKG 701's, Sennheiser HD 650's, Sony MDR-F1's, Shure and those V-moda's, among mannnnyyy others. For an earbud, these rank among the top of the list, and I would reccommend them to anyone.
UPDATE Cinco Dey Mayo 2013:
Welp I've had these for quite a while. Here's an update:
I've had to replace the cable several times.... because I use them when I travel, I invariably get them caught in all kinds of things. It's frustrating because while the cable can be replaced BY THE USER :), the replacement cable comes at a cost of $40.. There are also more expensive OEM cables available that can be used with these buds that are more durable than what UE manufactures, and they last better and sound superior.
In terms of sound I'd say they haven't changed, much to my surprise! Most of my headphones had a burn-in time (especially the 701's) but these just didn't seem to have them. What you hear is what you're gonna hear for years to come! Something I quite fancy, really!
I'd still recommend them any day. I have gone to an ear doctor and got special molds for them, so they're more stage-style now, but that's not a regret at all. They're, quite frankly, the every-day, practical investment earbuds I've been searching for.

I got these because they're the best you can get and still also have a Microphone for use with the iPhone. I'm usually not into listening to recorded classical music because it lacks the punch, power and complexity of listening to a live orchestra. However, with the Triple.fi 10vi cranked up to about 75% to 80% max volume you really start to feel like you're in a live orchestra. You don't usually think about bass in classical music, but it's there even in the strings and when it's missing the performance feels flat. With the Triple.fi 10vi's and a high quality recording you get to hear huge dynamic range with sounds going from soft pin drops with detail to almost overwhelming crescendos with all instruments blasting but clear.
It takes time getting used to the earbuds because they're not as small and casual in fit as say the regular iPhone earbuds. These are meant to be fit over the ear by bending the wire to fit your ears. But once you get used to them they take no longer to insert than regular iPhone earbuds. What's always important is to have a good seal in your ears otherwise you'll lose the bass.
Using these for phone calls is wierd because that same tight seal that allows for great bass and sound isolation prevents you from hearing yourself when you speak. You hear your caller great and clear, but when you talk it sounds wierd. This is a problem you'll encounter with any high end earplug that isolates outside sounds. The solution is to slightly crack the seal of one of the earplugs so that some external sound can leak in and you can hear your own voice naturally.
A more expensive solution and clunky solution is to get an external sound microphone option from Sure that has a switch that allows external sounds to leak in.
Here I wish Apple made their phone application feed back some of the sound of the microphone into your ears, kind of like they do with traditional landline telephones.

Amazon Verified Purchase
My quest for the perfect set of headphones had me read endless reviews from consumers, audiophiles, gadget blogs, and anyone else who wanted to weigh in. In short I never found one set of headphones to rule them all. Since I was looking at an investment of several hundred dollars such ambiguity left me a bit unsettled. Sure there were some moments of clarity:
* multiple drivers had the potential for more accurate reproduction
* balance armature drivers are among the best for headphones
* multiple ear cushion options offer the best bet for a good fit
These factors led me to this set of headphones, and despite quite a few complaints of cord damage being too frequent (sadly it seems many competitors also suffer these issues), I took the plunge. Granted a Gold Box price of $99 made it more of an informed impulse buy.
When you first get the headphones, you'll get an immediate satisfaction that you've purchased something of supreme quality. Packaging is top notch, the included case is both attractive and functional, and there are numerous accommodations for fit. Once I tried out the headphones I was a bit underwhelmed however. First off getting the right fit was difficult, which was made a bit more awkward due to the fact I've never worn earbuds that want to wrap the cable over the ear. After multiple tries, I was able to focus on the music, which also was disappointing. Sure it sounded good, but it wasn't great. Not having fully addressed the fit, I was losing low end punch to a poor seal, and the mids and highs weren't much better than $35 headphones. Did I just blow $99? Not at all, as the mids and highs improved with use (I left my iPod running all evening at a moderate volume, and an significant improvement was evident). The lows also improved greatly due to finding a better fit, and now I'm enjoying high fidelity audio wherever I am.
Overall the sound quality is highly transparent and clean. Things just sound how they should. I can actually hear the difference between 192kps and 320kps MP3s, and I imagine I can finally appreciate lossless files enough to justify their storage demands. In short, you will hear things again for the first time. This is why I give these 5 stars despite some of my issues with fitting and numerous reports of cable failures. Sometimes greatness comes with a price that goes beyond the financial, and if you're willing to take that on, these may be the headphones for you.
Other observations:
* cable length is just about perfect for personal use
* not only do you get four types of silicone cushions and foam ones, you get a second set of foam ones
* replacement cushions seem readily available
* while I love my headphones, if someone offered me $300 for them, I'd probably go for it
* multiple drivers had the potential for more accurate reproduction
* balance armature drivers are among the best for headphones
* multiple ear cushion options offer the best bet for a good fit
