Doesn't easily fold up to put in your pockets. What bothers me is the cord is very thick and stiff. I been using my 20 dollar j-buds more latly because of the cord. Sound is good. They pop out of my ears sometimes. When their in your ears the cord sticks out awkwardly,instead of laying flat against you.
I would not recommend these to anyone. They deliver great quality audio but the hardware design, in terms of fit and durability, is missing. I wasn't too crazy about how they fit, even after purchasing additional ear tips, but I thought it was worth it for the sound.Most recently though, they simply started falling apart; the screen filter fell off one side and the other side only transmitted about 25% of the sound it should have (even with balance in the middle). I think they deliver high quality sound and their reputation precedes them. They delivered across a wide frequency range and produced an excellent bass tone. Good sound and hardware for half the price.I take good care of my headphones and they should have lasted at least another year or two.
I'm giving the Metro.fi 2 earphones a two out of five. I bought a set of Metro.fi 2 headphones about a year and a half ago. The moment I started using them, I fell in love with the sound. This was very disappointing and I had to set them aside. Initially, I used them every day at work. Let me start by saying I respect Ultimate Ears and the products they make.
After about six months, I used them only a few times a week while I was working out. When I go online to look up warranty or contact information, I'm not finding what I need.In comparison, I just received a pair of Metro.fi 100 earphones and I love them.
I can't believe such expense earphone breaks in just over a year. I tested on many devices, and even swithed listening on different ears, the same problem. Very disappointing. I bought this earphone 13 months ago, it now has qaulity problem. The volume on the left earphone is lower than the right one. The manufacture tells me it's not covered anymore.
These don't really fit well in the ears, like others have said. Also, the audio isn't especially clear (especially base and midrange), which for the price they go for is a shame.
With both earphones I had they had begun to get worse with the winter season coming around as the wires hardened, making it easier to break. The wires are thick and if you tend to roll your earphones to pack them away they'll eventually conform to that shape to and make it more difficult to unravel and use comfortably. Overall really good sound just may not last as long as you'd like. Although my biggest problems have come with the wires. The thick and stiff wires also don't make them so great for running or gym usage. These earphones also don't fair so well in the cold.
I do use my earphones almost every day so they go through a lot of use but if your careful they may last you longer. The sound quality for these earphones are really good. I've gone through 2 pairs in a little over a year and each time the wire had damaged and it disrupted the sound. Also with the wire hardening on my first pair you can hear the thumps of the wire hitting anything from your hand to your chest in the earphones (very annoying).
