Ultimate Ears MetroFi 170 : Frequency Response vs. iPod shuffle
The MetroFi 170 also offers more low-end than the boosted-but-not-bass-heavy Shure SE115, as indicated in the left-hand portion of the graph. For reference, the iPod Shuffle (3rd generation) earbuds are also shown, in red. Note the discrepancies between the Shure and Ultimate Ears pairs and the Apple earbuds. The sound you get from your iPod’s included earbuds is, to say the least, horribly inaccurate.
