First Look - Ultimate Ears Triple.fi Earphones

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi

Ultimate Ears, Inc.


I'll just be honest: since reviewing the Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro, I don't leave the house without them. I use them when mixing live sound, when listening to my iPod, or in my studio as a way to keep my neighbors happy when mixing late at night. But at $900 before audiologist fees, they're not within everybody's price range.

Ultimate Ears is a company committed to quality and customer service first and foremost. Reaching further into the consumer market, they recently introduced the Triple.fi, a $399 triple-driver earphone built to the same standards as their more expensive custom products.

Offering robust sound quality with two tuned bass drivers and a single tuned treble/mid-range driver, the Triple.fi is perfect for personal listening and mixing, especially when extreme accuracy is required, the Triple.fi is a great way to carry studio-quality reference monitors in your pocket.

Available directly from Ultimate Ears and other outlets, the Triple.fi retails for $399. At this price, it's an easy way to experience Ultimate Ears' legendary quality without making the irreversible investment of custom earphones. Stay tuned for a detailed, hands-on review!
