Summary: Great sound, not much bass
Comment: These are the best in ear phones I have tried. Mids and highs are not perfect, but nice. Very flat response. Nice. But the webpage on their site says for classical music and jazz. They don't mention other genres for this model.
I don't think they have enough base for any other genre of music. It is there, and goes low, but not loud enough. Turning up bass on music source does not help.
I would recommend that bassheads go for a higher model, but definitely stay with Ultimate Ears.

Summary: super .fi 3
Comment: Great headphones. That said, the bass is a little lacking. I listen to a lot of low stuff (classical, bass trombone, jazz, etc) and so the bottom drops out in the really loud stuff. They take a little getting used to for comfort, but for the noise isolation (27dB) it's worth it for me. i'de buy them again if given the choice over others. another plus is that the cord is replaceable, so if you damage your cords frequently (like me) you don't have to buy new headphones everytime!

Summary: A very good in-ear phone
Comment: I've had the super.fi 3 Studio for about a year now and for the most part, it's an very good in-ear headphone.
PROS:
1. Flat-out excellent clarity of midrange and treble frequency ranges. This is especially true of synthesizer music.
2. Superb efficiency--you can plug it into the headphone output of most portable music players and get surprisingly strong volume without the need to turn up the player's volume controls. I confirmed by trying the super.fi 3 Studio on my 3G iPod nano and my older Creative ZEN Nano Plus portable music player.
CONS:
1. The deep bass is bit lacking, but this may be due to the limitation of the headphone's single-armature driver configuration.
2. It is very tricky to get a proper seal of the headphone and the ear canal for best sound quality. You will have to experiment quite a lot with the different eartips provided with the headphone to find out which one works the best (I had the best luck with the large size silicon eartips). You can get custom-fit eartips from a third-party manufacturer for the very best quality, but be aware such eartips cost as much as the headphone itself plus the cost of going to a ear doctor to make the mold for the custom eartip.

Summary: Great sound
Comment: My previous headphones were not of the in-ear type, and I was a bit reluctant to make the step. I prefer the over the ear larger headphones. But it is a bit silly to sit with large headphones behind my desk.
But a solution was needed. Too much office noise: people on the phone, the coffee machine etc.
I surfed the internet and found that these ones were supposed to give good sound for the money, so I ordered them.
They give indeed good sound. I can imagine it is quite possible to buy even better ones, more clarity, more balance between the lows and highs, but these ones are more than OK. Far more detail than many low end ones. Never tried higher end.
When I used the lower end, I was aware that something was missing. I do not have that feeling now.
A reset of my ipod volume was needed. I now use the lowest possible volume level when at work, in the train somewhat higher.
At first I was (pleasantly) surprised how well they block outside sounds. In holland the bike is a often used form of transportation, and hearing the noises around you can be important. Do not wear these (or any other in-ear buds I assume) when participating in traffic.
The fit for me is good, although I can imagine that fitting them in "special" ears can be troublesome.
Packaging is nice. I could have done without the small box, or with the optional winder. One without the other does not make much sense.
