Question: What do Scotch, Cars and Headphones have in common?
Answer: Once you get a taste of the good stuff it’s hard to go back.

Yup, once you taste The Macallen 25, Johnny Walker Red will never again pass your lips.
Once you drive a Lexus, you might sooner walk than ride in a Yugo.

And once you try the Ultimate Ears super.fi 4vi earbuds the stock earphones that shipped with your mp3 player will be collecting dust in the drawer.

The super.fi 4vi are the ultimate for listening to music. These are, without a doubt, the most comfortable and among the best sounding headphones I’ve ever used. With one exception, they are truly the ultimate in earbuds. Let’s take a quick look at them. Read more »

Breaking: Hear That? It’s The Sound of Logitech Buying Ultimate Ears

Posted by: danc on Aug 14 2008 - 15 views

I’m finishing up a review on Ultimate Ears’ Super.fi 4vi (short take- I love them!). As a result anything having to do with Ultimate Ears is catching my eye lately- Today’s news??

Apparently Logitech is about to acquire Ultimate Ears for 34 million dollars in a deal that will close at the end of this month.

Good for Ultimate Ears! They make amazing headphones and it is nice that a major player has recognized it.

I only hope the stellar quality of their products continues. (Did I mention I like the 4vis a bunch?)

The Ultimate Warranty From Ultimate Ears

Posted by: dgoldring on Jul 12 2008 - 57 views

From time to time, I like to recognize companies which I feel have exceptional customer service.  Some of you may recall some time ago, I reviewed the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 earphones.  And I have to admit that even long after I finished the review, they remained one of my absolute favorite headphones.

Well, you can imagine how upset I must have been, therefore, when out of the blue, they just broke.  I could not figure out why, they just stopped working in the left ear.  I must have damaged the speaker on that side, but I have no idea how I did that.

Anyway, I was upset, but I had other headphones to review anyway, so I moved on.  Well, some time later, I just happened to be chatting with one of the PR people from Ultimate Ears.  I mentioned that mine had broken, and he almost immediately blurted out that Ultimate Ears had a two year warranty.  How could I have forgotten about that?

He assured me that he would take care of things.  A few days later, a package arrived from Ultimate Ears with a brand new Super.fi 3 inside.  Beautiful.  And they did not ask for the old ones back or try to fix them first.

I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with Ultimate Ears, their two year warranty, and their customer service.  Thank you, Ultimate Ears!
