It is one of life’s peculiar ironies that as the cost of the portable audio player gets lower, people are spending more and more on their headphones. I am as guilty of this as the next person, but if I am honest when it comes to every day use I am not sure that I really benefit from the expensive models. On a plane journey, or when I really want to focus on the music yes, but when walking or running - not really.

But if you are continually striving to have the ‘latest and best’ then Ultimate Ears new $400 triple.fi 10 Pro universal fit earphones are probably on your radar. The tiny earphones incorporate three miniature speakers per ear to deliver exceptional fidelity and are modeled after the company’s far more expensive custom-fit UE 10 Pros for professional musicians.

Two of the speakers are bass drivers designed to divide the acoustic workload and provide increased definition and clarity. The single high-frequency driver reproduces the top end from female vocals to violins with exceptional precision, while a specially engineered passive crossover ensures that the lows, mids and highs are balanced in perfect proportion.

The triple.fi 10 Pro is the fourth member of Ultimate Ears’ family of universal-fit super.fi earphones. The line also includes the $99 single-driver super.fi 3 studio model and two dual-driver options—the $199.99 super.fi 5 EB (Extended Bass) and $249.99 super.fi 5 Pro.
