For the price, these should be more than good enough earbud headphones for the above-average, discriminating listener. Better value than Shure, Sennheiser, Skullcandy.
I am not an extreme audiophile but I do require good sound out of my headphones. These are a huge upgrade from the previous Sony MDR EX51LP's that I had which cost the same amount. I should have done this a long time ago. I picked these over the 100's because they look a little cleaner. Otherwise, I'm sure the 100's and 200's are great as well.

Pros:
- incredible detail
- rich bass
- crisp treble
- stylish
- carrying case
- reasonable price
- great in-ear seal for noise-canceling

Cons:
- none so far

Great sound and great fit, January 23, 2010

I wanted a pair of higher end earbuds and after a lot of research settled on the MetroFi. I love them. The sound quality is fine, they do isolate some of the external noise (particularly useful and welcome in airplanes) and are really comfortable (I normally have some trouble fitting earbuds). And they cost a lot less than other models.

Despite user complaints about their build quality, I've had no issues so far: the MetroFi have suffered some abuse and a lot of use, but continue to look brand-new. Perhaps because I always store them in the provided hard case instead of just stuffing them in my backpack, where they could get tangled with other cables or yanked?

Great but poor build, December 12, 2009
