Ultimate Ears 200v - GREAT earbuds on the cheap!

skippyrulz · 06/08/2009, 09:21 PM

i thought i'd let everyone know about this. i picked these up a couple of weeks ago for $30, and now they're only $25. most places sell them for $50+.

they work perfectly with my pre. there is a mic built in, and the button controls the music and the phone. and they sound darn nice. good stuff, all around, but at only $25 you can't miss.

UE 200v - $25 @ Amazon

You can't go wrong with UE's. They are simply the best headphone and IEM maker in the world.

Thanks for the recommendation. I only wish they had a retractable cable.

no problem. they do come with a little pill shaped case. it's decent. but i've actually been using the little rubber wrap that came with the pre usb cable to keep them wrapped up nicely.

Probably because it's from a different supplier now?
If it was sold directly by Amazon (or whoever it was) @ $25, once they lose stock the next supplier is listed.
If Amazon (or whoever) gets them back in stock, they may drop back down again.

darn I hope that prices comes back around! I was all pumped up when I read the post..

srfcrzy · 06/18/2009, 11:47 PM

They've lowered the price back down to $24.99. Weird.

I checked and rechecked and even posted a review to the Amazon listing noting the price jump. And now it's back down...

Ah well, so long as it's down again. Maybe I'll go ahead and pick up the pair I was planning to get before the price jump.

Because it's now supplied by Amazon directly again. It was supplied by MobileCityOnline while Amazon was out of stock.
I just ordered a pair.

I am guessing the mic function works?

Does anyone know if the mic will work with the Ipod touch 2g?

the mic works on the pre. and as i understand it, on the iphone as well. so i can't imagine it wouldn't work on the touch 2g.

I am using the Jabra (2.5) that I used as a spare/backup to bluetooth in my car with my Treo 680. For some reason none of Radio Shack adapters worked but I ordered one from Palm and no problems.

Ultimate Ears for the win! I use the 170vi model, and its great!
