Currently debating between the Super.Fi 5vi, the Super.Fi 4vi and the upcoming MetroFi 220vi. Assuming money is not a prob, am I best off with the Super.Fi 5s?

[ReyZero]

Think about it >.>

[jasoncordelle]

If money is no issue, then it's a given.

The reason the lower end ones are cheaper is not because they are being generous.

[ReyZero]

You're paying for better sound

[Conchis]

Ha. Ok, thanks guys. That's what I figured.

I just wish the 5s weren't so freakin' ugly.

That's exactly what I was going to say! :D I would try a pair but the shape turns me off. The metalic (clear?) blue one looks at least decent.

[ReyZero]

Ugly? I'm using the EB which look like frankenstein bolts

[Conchis]

Yep, the EBs are even worse. lol

I love the aesthetic to the Super.Fi 4s. But the 5s have got to be better, right?

[hyroboarder]

The 5's are the only in-ear I would ever consider buying. I love them.

Would not trade it for a Shue SE530, if $ no object?

Do you hear your cable? Have you tried the 4s to compare?

[bobb-mini]

Yeah, some cables, (p ri ck it), is like ur wearing a stesthoscope (bad), while others, a mild and contained noise. By now one would think they perfected the cables.

[Conchis]

So you hear it but it's not that big a deal? I'll be using the phones a lot on walks.

I appreciate the feedback.

i find that if you put the cables of your in-ears over your ears and down your back, the cable noise is greatly reduced.

I agree - it reduces the movement a lot especially the movement that's near your ear, where it's amplified the most.
