The reasonably priced Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220
earphones offer good sound quality and excellent bass (if you can get a
good fit). A protective carrying case is included. One version includes
an in-line mic and call answer button for use with music phones.
The MetroFi 220 Noise Isolating Earphones are a step up from the bottom of the line in the Ultimate Ears family and come in two versions: a standard MP3 player model for $79.99 and the iPhone-friendly 220vi, which includes an in-line mic and sells for $20 more. Either set is a good buy for picky listeners who have a moderate amount of cash to spend on replacement headphones for their MP3 players, but buyers should be aware of potential fit and durability issues.
The earpieces of
the MetroFi earphones are the first cause for concern, though they do
have a hint of style with their opaque, blood red enclosures (which
looks cool when the light shines through). Although the 'buds are quite
small on the whole, we found the squat, completely round design did not
let us get a secure or comfortable fit. The earphones tended to push out
of our ears frequently, and when they did stay in place, the plastic
'buds put a slightly uncomfortable pressure on the inner cartilage of
the ear. Of course, everyone's ears are different, so you may not have
fit issues. Ultimate Ears provides three sizes of silicone fittings to
help in that area. ultimate ears metroFi 220
