After using those awesome buds for a couple weeks, I talked about them on my website but decided to translate the review for here. I encourage people who develop products for the Mac & iPod and those buds are, IMO, the best earbuds I ever used. They are superior to the best Apple buds, that's for sure.
Here's the review, I hope you enjoy it:
Performance-wise, the Ultimate Buds are awesome. Compared to Apples headphones, it's night & day. Before trying them, I thought that Apple's basic earbuds were pretty good compared to 20$ ones at the store but they are nothing compared to the UB7EB Ultimate Buds.
The high sounds are clear and the low sounds are similar to the sound of a sub-woofer. When listening to music with allot of "Base", these headphones shine. Overall, the sound is very pure and impressed me allot for a small piece of technology.
As for comfort, you have 2 types of earpieces with each different sizes. The first type is a regular cylinder shaped rubber tip that goes pretty deep in the ear without any discomfort. They don't totally block exterior sound but enough to enjoy your music 100%. At higher volumes, you can't hear anything from the exterior.
The second type or tips is the one you want to use if you want to block 100% of the exterior sound. You squish them and put them in your ear canal. About 10 seconds later, they expand and take the shape of your ear. Even without music, you can barely hear exterior sound. They are perfect to concentrate on your music or movie 100%.
As you can see on different photos, they are very well built and nice looking. Their design is very "Apple", which is nice for iPod specific ear buds.
The UB7EB Ultimate Buds have nice functions that will save you the hassle of reaching for your iPod in your pockets. With volume control and a microphone, you have everything you would need from ear buds. My only grip (Which is very minor) is that you need to repress the volume button multiple times to completely mute the sound. It only decreases one bar on the iPod per button press. You can still mute it in a matter of 2 seconds.
The placement of the microphone is perfect. It aligns just under your mouth on the right ear bud wire, directly behind the volume rocker. The sound of recorded messages is as good as it can get for a little microphone.
After using them for over a week, I decided to try them on my MacBook Pro. To my surprise, the volume rocker worked perfectly. When watching a movie, I no longer need to reach the keyboard or minimize the window to adjust the volume.
Speaking of movies, the sound of explosions and overall action is just amazing. It truly gets you to concentrate on your movie, much more than on a regular TV. It's also fun to play games. They truly help to immerse you in whatever you are listening.
I highly recommend you buy the Ultimate Buds for your iPod or iPhone. Like you already heard before, you get what you pay for.
