xenocide 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Stumble upon these pics on iLounge... As the first offering in the company's new metro.fi series of low-end but good-looking earphones, the $80 metro.fi 2 will be the least expensive in-canal design in Ultimate Ears' lineup. Each pair is primarily black with silver accents, and comes with several pairs of clear frosted silicone rubber earpieces. The company's goal is to beat the cheapie in-canal phones sold by companies like Sony, by offering audibly superior clarity and an Ultimate Ears-quality sound signature. Not bad looking though...

That dude 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Looks like a contender for the ck7's. At least they have better wires than most budget canal phones, and they look really superb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
