Squiggle slash dot hash ampersand

To the geeks and more technicallyminded music lovers:

Ultimate ears metrofi 200, Senheiser 550CX II or Bose in ear headphones?

I'm currently leaning away from the Bose and undecided between the other two.

Sennheiser, although I have heard marvellous things said about the Bose noise cancelling phones.

Thanks for the input. I kind've wish I could put them side by side and try them but as in-ear ones they don't exactly have a display set (and certainly not of all three in the same location) so I'm relying on a straw-poll of minds greater than mine.

While I can't comment on the specific pairs you are looking at, I can offer some advice. 1) make sure you get your ears molded first, and that all subsequent in ear modules use that mold.
2) do not use BOSE. They have a very good PR unit. You'll never meet a single sound engineer in the world who uses anything by them.

Personally I'd opt for the Senn's, they are probably more expensive, but in my experience the average Sennheiser is generally far better quality than similar equipment.
