Ultimate Ears Introduces 'Super.fi 3 Studio' Earphones - Entry-Level Version of Rock Stars' In-Ear Monitors

Special Engineering Delivers Studio-Quality Sound in Low-Priced Package

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Just three months after introducing sub-$250 universal fit earphones based on its custom-molded in-ear monitors for rock superstars, Ultimate Ears has again shattered the price and quality barrier with its Super.fi 3 Studio earphones -- new $99.99 earpieces that transform everything from an Apple iPod to a portable DVD player or even an at-home mixing board into a full-bodied sound stage.

The new earphones utilize a proprietary, vented, single-speaker design that has been engineered to deliver full-spectrum sound previously unavailable even at a much higher price point, plus a special form factor that securely seals the ear against external noise.

Through unique acoustic engineering and construction techniques, Super.fi 3 Studio earpieces are able to combine the deep, feel-it-in-your-gut bass of less expensive single-diaphragm devices with the clear mids of higher-priced single-armature products, then round out the sound with crisp highs that are typically missing from standard earphones. This accurate frequency response brings every lyric, lick, beat and horn straight to the ear in the precise way the artists laid down the tracks, whether you're listening to Joss Stone, The Killers, Shania Twain or Beethoven's Fifth.

The shape and snug fit -- based on Ultimate Ears' 10 years of experience in handcrafting earphones from silicone impressions of customers' ears -- yield maximum wearing comfort as well as 26 dB of noise isolation to ensure that you can hear the music instead of the drone of the rowing machine or the roar of the train. A flexible ear loop anchors the earphone in place and guides the cable securely behind the ear for easy wear.

Each pair comes with a leather case, an earphone cleaning tool, and a 10-piece fit kit to adapt the earphones to different ear shapes and help users achieve the best seal against outside noise.

Availability

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio earphones are currently available at Guitar Center and through Ultimate Ears ( http://www.ultimateears.com/ or 866-837-7734).

The Super.fi line also offers two premium dual-speaker models with low- and high-frequency speakers in each ear. The $199.99 Super.fi 5 EB (Extended Bass) features big bass sound particularly suited for hard rock, hip-hop and rap, with 16dB of noise isolation. The $249.99 Super.fi 5 Pro has an audio signature that lends itself to all musical genres, greater resistance to outside noise at 26dB of noise isolation, and a smaller and sleeker exterior housing.
