Not a good deal when the Shure SE425 earphones are so much better and just $20 more.

Even worse when the Westone UM20s are even better and just $25 more.

The Sennheiser IE80 earphones are usually $25 cheaper (there should be more in stock soon) and better.

And if you care about aesthetic as much as sound, these are the best of the four, and are just $25 more.

Could you explain why those are better?

Reviews, primarily. Also, they're featured prominently on more 'top' lists created by experts. Also, it seems Logitech has dropped all support for their Ultimate Ear earphones; regardless of whether or not they're under warranty.

Wow are you serious? That's a low blow from them especially with how much their high end ones can cost.

Says so in a couple of reviews. The 'Ultimate Ears' product page seems to be Bluetooth Speakers for teenagers, rather than high-end audiophile earphones. Same name; different company. Logitech still seems to be its parent organization, but I can't find any earphones.

I closed the tab as soon as I saw the banner. To hell with that noise. I don't even think those Booms are even that good.

 

So disappointed with them now.

Up to 50 BT speakers, brah.

I wonder if anyone has actually had any over 2 connected at once, haha. But I think they can connect so many due to the Bluetooth version that it has, so I don't think they had to do anything super extra to get that working. Still, seems like UE is going to shit.

Well, when I think of partying I imagine everyone awkwardly holding a portable LogitechTM speaker.
