Reviews for Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise-Isolating Headset

These are very good ear buds. It has well balanced sound. So just telling you noise isolation is not the same as noise cancelling it just creates a seal in the ear canal which blocks a significant amount of outside noise from my experience, still not as much as noise cancelling but still really good from these little things. I would say that if you don't want to break the bank and still get some nice headphone these are very good!!

Do not buy these headphones! I bought them on a trip to the US only weeks ago and the salesperson told me he uses them and they're the best headphones in terms of volume if you're not looking to break the bank.

The sound is good and the noise cancellation makes it much easier to listen to music, podcasts etc but after using them sparingly on no more than 50% volume for 2 weeks the left earphone has already lost most of its volume. Being in Australia I now have to organise a return/refund through the US Apple or Logitech and I'm very frustrated! $40 down the drain and I will never look to buy Logitech headphones again!

I bought a pair of these during Labor Day weekend. This pair worked for a month, then no audio. The worse part was that the 30-day period (where you can return the item to the Apple store for an exchange) had elapsed.

I'm sticking w/ Apple earphones and ear buds. Those seem to last longer with me...

I should have opened them up after buying them and plugged them into an iPod in the store! Because I didn't, I now have to make another trip back to the Apple Store. My old, white, cheap Apple headphones sounded much better. The 200vi's are so bad, I'm wondering if both speakers were blown - there was almost zero bass. Just for fun, I compared them against my $39 Koss Porta-Pros and the 200vi headset REALLY sucked!! The Porta-Pros have a lifetime guarantee and are impossible to beat for 2-3 times the price, but they're an "over-the-ear" headphone and I wanted an in-ear "noise isolating" headset. Time to do some more shopping : - (

These are my first in-ear headphones.

The sound quality is fine; they don't seem any better/worse than the standard issue Apple earbuds to me.

The noise isolation is great for loud environments. I listen to podcasts on the NYC subway. With earbuds I had to pause it every time a train was arriving/departing (loudest volume wasn't loud enough); with these I can keep on listening.

The noise isolation makes it weird to talk on the phone (or to other people in general). You can't hear your own voice. Maybe you could get used to it, but it's easier for me to pop out one of the ear pieces.

Keep the set of rubber pieces around for a few days, to be absolutely sure you have the right size for each ear.

I am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with these headphones. The sound is crisp and clear, but the bass is so low that it is disappointing. They definitely are not worth $39 though. I bought these as a replacement to my standard Apple headphones that came with my iPod touch. I use these for my gym workouts and during my breaks at Rutgers. They do stay in your ear, however, if you use them while running you have to readjust them into place. Besides exercising, they are fine. The ability to be able to raise the volume, pause, play, and switch between songs from the buttons on the cord is a plus. Are they better than the Apple issued headphones? I would say slightly.

its one of the best best head phones ever they can do better for the price i think a discount

Not bad??? sound is clear but bass is very, very low.
