Ultimate Ears UE200 Earphones (Playback 52)

Budget-Priced Overachiever

While I hesitate to call the UE200’s “an audiophile’s earphone,” it is at its best in those performance areas that audiophiles value most, such as resolution, harmonic balance, and imaging specificity. In short, the UE200 is more closely aligned with audiophile sensibilities than most of its similarly priced competitors. If you are willing to give up some bass impact and spend the time necessary to make sure that the UE200s fit properly, you will be rewarded by more music than any $30 headphone has the right to reproduce.
