I think it would be perfect for a fun earphone. I would say it is pretty much on par with the um1S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlingo 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) I just got SuperFi 5 Pro today, and I completely agree with fallraen comment. I definitely prefer the sound of this compared to UM2. But still I cannot really compared SuperFi with Etymotics since ety has a completely different sound signature. And yes, the bass of SuperFi is quite nice, tight, much tighter and more defined than UM2, but still not as good as the bass of my sensaphonics. but pretty close, it's like subwoover in your head yeah!

rkivie 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 i had the super 5 pro, but i had to return it due to comfort issues. they felt ok when i was listening to them at the shop. but when i took them home and used them for extended periods, while lying down, etc, they didnt feel very comfortable anymore. i have since gotten the um2 and i can happily say that the um2 is unsurpassed in terms of comfort among the high end iems.

PurpleLightning 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 i oso find the 5 pro nicer sounder than the UM2 sigh.... i found more clarity and details and tiny bit better soundstaging in the 5 pro wat the UM2 has is nicer bass (don't know how to describe ) i like the super-fi 5 pro better overall~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you naughty boy. You should have done some research!!?! There was this thread about swapping the left headphone cable to the right driver and vice versa, and well, that seemed to improve sound, comfort alot! You're a UM guy, and u like the UM2. Great for you, any UM56s along the way? hehe yes i'm a Westone man. got my UM56 le. still trying to get used to them though. they are nowhere near as comfortable as i thought they would be. but i'll give them some time. and no amount of research can tell you how comfy the phones are mah...until you try for yourself. besides, there were not alot of UE around here then. and surely you must know that reviews on head-fi are usually guilty of hyperbole. there are more than a handful of folks there who will attest to the SF5P comfort level.
