having had many earphones down the years of varying quality, and never having the inclination to post reviews of any of them, I am prepared to make an exception with my recently purchased PFE 122s. the soundscape from these buds is truly exceptional, at times you feel the music is literally inside your head, I listen to a lot of acoustic music and I am for the first time hearing sounds and detail not previously experienced. Sweet treble, neutral bass and clear uncluttered vocals. the fit is also excellent (take note high end bud manufacturers). cannot recommend these highly enough, and with a free set of PFE 012s thrown in its a no brainer. Thank you Phonak for reigniting my love of music.

I had to buy the earphones from hifiheadphones.com, since I live in Netherlands. They also have the bundle with free pfe012 now. Ordered and received 2 days later, perfect! I wanted these for my new iPhone4S and I must say they sound very natural. Bass could be a bit more, but maybe I still need to fiddle a bit for the right position. I did put the black filters. But in any case I would still highly recommend these as they are far superior to the earphones that apple provides. I am surely a happy person with this combination!

I have been using both Sennheiser (gym & travel) & Denon (at work) in ear headphones with comply foam tips for a while now. Due to my bag being stolen recently (with both sets of headphones in) I started to look for some new headphones. I saw the Audeo headphones first in Stuff magazine where they are highly regarded; I then read all the reviews (in English) on this site. I then noticed the deal where you get a free pair of PFE012's when you buy the PFE122's so I took the plunge... The sound is very impressive, massively better then my old Sennheisers (these were the cheaper CX200's) and comparable to the expensive Denon AH-C751's. The bass is a little lacking for my taste in music (mainly dance/electronica) but I have fitted the green filters to help boost the bass. I find that the PFE headphones are quieter than others I have used in the past so require the volume to be turned up. I've only had both pairs for about a week now but I can confirm that they are the most comfortable in ears I have owned (using the Comply foam tips). Overall highly recommended!

thank you for your reply very much appreciated. i would just like to add ,after trying most makes of headphones from shure to sleek audio i feel compelled to say that my pfe 122 are the most natural sounding and by far the most comfortable, and regardless of what happens i certainly hope you continue with this side of your business and continue producing such excellent earphones. thanks again Sandra .

Ich bin mit meinen Audéo Kopfhörern seit nunmehr 2 Jahren rundum zufrieden. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, optimale Tonqualität und perfekt zum Laufen geeignet. Ich habe vorher viele verschiedene Modelle anderer Hersteller getestet, war aber noch nie so angetan wie jetzt. Wenn doch mal ein Problem mit den Kopfhörern auftritt, trifft man auf einen Service, der seinesgleichen sucht. Freundlich, kompetent und verständnisvoll bei einem "Hör-Laien" wie mir! Einfach perfekt! Durchweg empfehlenswert.

parlando sempre degli auricolari "in ear", a differenza delle marche di qualità medio-alte : Jerry Harvey Audio, sleek, Monster TurbinePRO,Sennheiser ,shure ecc.... , la audeo mantiene un equilibrio nel rapporto prezzi, qualità del prodotto, la capacità di modificare le caratteristiche dell'auricolare tramite filtri audio è semplice ed intuitiva.

I fly very often and have used various active noise cancelling over ear headphones for years (Bose, Sennheiser). Having purchased a set of PFE 122 on a long distance flight recently, I find the sound quality is excellent, and the comfort and convenience of their small size a great advantage. The sound is completely natural and does not distort even at higher volumes. Even better is the care and attention Phonak pays to their customers in addressing user comments - I was personally attended to by their Director of Business Development after a query on the various sound filters. Excellent product, exceptional service, excellent company. I highly recommend this product.

ch habe ein PFE 122 für mich und ein PFE 012 für meinen Sohn bei Gravis gekauft und bin total begeistert. Endlich habe ich ein Im-Ohr-Kopfhörer gefunden der super bequem ist und mit dem ich auch noch Sport machen kann. Dank der super Umgebungsgeräuschisolierung kann mein Sohn nun in aller Ruhe mit der PSP spielen und ich muss mir nicht das „gejodel“ der Spiele anhören. Darüber hinaus gibt der Hersteller an, dass das Gehör geschont wird. Bravo, da kann ich nur gratulieren und die Produkte weiter empfehlen.

Since discovering the Audéo PFE range (I own a pair of the 112 earphones) I can safely say they are easily the best buds I’ve ever owned. Not only does their sound clarity offer a ‘live’ feel to the music, but they also provide an unparalleled level of comfort through the snug fitting foam tips. Gone too are the days of having to continually re-insert the buds into my ears after any sudden movement. This problem has been efficiently resolved with the over ear guides – a nice touch that, while feeling strange at first, soon makes you wonder how anyone can wear their earphones in the conventional way!

06.07.2011 | Matt Steele | Brighton | England

I’ve been through so many pairs of earphones in search of the perfect pair I’ve lost count! As a touring musician, sound quality is most important to me – there’s nothing worse than not hearing music as the artists meant it to be heard! - but I also wanted something that was super durable, and provide a level of noise reduction to allow me to listen in a noisy van or backstage. I tried Seinnheiser CX300s but they distorted on the bottom end, fell out of my ears when I went running, and eventually suffered fatal “cable crackle”. So, after much research I took the plunge and invested in some Phonak PFE 111s. The difference has been amazing, as well as staying in my ears better, they sound phenomenal and can cope with any music I throw at them. They’re now the first thing I pack for tour – after my drums of course.

als selbständiger schlosser ist es mir ein bedürfniss unkompliziert zu telefonieren wenn auch maschinen lärm produzieren, schliesslich ist es nicht möglich wegen jedem anruf den betrieb still zu legen. vieles hatte ich schon ausprobiert, auch sehr teure und gute headsets. bei den phonak bin ich schliesslich gelandet weil ich den gehörschutz von ihnen verwendete. nun habe ich durch die audéo pfe 12x eine gehörschutz der die spitzen der maschinen aussen hält und ich kann endlich bequem telefonieren. in der freizeit benutze ich ein zweites paar um musik zu hören und telefonieren. ich habe noch selten einen so klaren sound gehört, da ich gerne etwas mehr bass habe verwende ich die grünen filter. ich kann die audéo pfe 12x nur empfehlen, auch der preis scheint mir fair weil man ein absolutes spitzen produkt erhält.

Zugegeben: einen passenden Inear für sich zu finden ist sehr schwer. Vor allem weil dieses Produkt so gut wie nie getestet werden kann. Nach langer Suche im world wide web und das durchforsten unzähliger Foren und Testseiten habe ich mich für den PFE 122 entschieden. Schon beim Auspacken, merkt man sofort, dass es sich um ein sehr hochwertiges Produkt handelt. Die Möglichkeit sich für unterschiedliche Filter zu entscheiden ist einmalig. Da mein Musikgeschmack breit gefächert ist, habe ich sowohl die grauen (für betonte Mitten) und die schwarzen (für betonte Bässe und Höhen) Filter getestet. Für klassische Musik kann ich nur die grauen Filter empfehlen. Noch nie zuvor habe ich so viel Detailfülle hören können. Ob Beethovens Violinkonzert, Schwanensee, oder auch Mozarts Königin der Nacht stellt die hervorragende Qualität unter Beweis. Wo bei anderen Hörern das "scheppern" beginnt liefern die PFE 122 kristallklaren Sound. Im Gegensatz dazu habe ich die schwarzen Filter unter Cher, Elten John und Lady Gaga getestet. Einfach ein Hörgenuss und welch ein Unterschied. Man hört wirklich den Unterschied bei den Filtern! Wenn Sie sich für einen PFE 122 entscheiden, kaufen Sie ein wirkliches High End Gerät. Sollten Sie allerdings auf Bässe ohne Ende stehen, gibt es sicherlich für weit aus weniger Geld den besseren Hörer für sie. Unbedingt erwähnt gehört an dieser Stelle auch die Qualität von Hörbüchern. Einfach großartig! Abschließend sei noch erwähnt, dass das telefonieren mit dem PFE 122 auch ohne Probleme funktioniert. Bei meinem Denon, wurde das telefonieren zur Qual, weil die Verständigung mehr als schlecht war. Beim PFE merkt der Gesprächspartner nicht, dass sie darüber telefonieren. Die Sprache ist perfekt. Ich verwende den PFE 122 auf dem Iphone 4. Ich glaube nicht, dass es in diesem Preissegment etwas besseres gibt. Uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung!

Ich hab schon viele In-Ear Ohrhörer gestest aber diese hier sind mit Abstand absolute Spitzenklasse. Würd ich mir jederzeit wieder kaufen. Perkektion bis ins letzte Detail bei klanglicher Abstimmung und Desing. Vom Profi für Hören eben --> PHONAK Grüße, Christian

When I first used Comply Foam Tips with my Sennheiser CX300 I was really impressed about the improvement of sound which can be achieved by just using the right ear tips. I decided to step further and bought the PFE122 which also comes with Comply Foam Tips and I was blown away by the sound quality and comfort of wearing. I also bought additional Green Filters to get the additional Bass which was mentioned to be lacked in reviews of the PFE112 and PFE122. The Bass filters gives you the sound of the PFE012 and 022 and is the right choice for hungry Bass lovers. Another thing to mention is that the microphone version PFE022 and PFE122 designed for iphones also workes with Android phones (Galaxy, HTC, Droid etc.), when using an adapter which swaps the 2 last pins of the connector. With the KM-354R3M-R2F adapter from kvconnection.com you can use the Mic and the Media Button on all other phones as well. The only downside I could mention on these earphones is that the volume level is not as high as i sometimes wish to be, but this is understandable because Phonak takes care of hearing awareness and are dedicated to the prevention of hearing loss. That's why I give it still 5 stars!

Der PFE 11x kommt bezüglich Klangqualität an meine Grado RS1 Kopfhörer heran. Letztere bewegen sich im Preis bei ca. 750 Euro und sind für mich das Mass der Dinge. Ich hatte immer Probleme mit In-Ears, weil sie nie richtig passten. Nun bin ich am Ziel und brauche keine voluminösen Kopfhörer mehr mit mir herum zu tragen, m.u. ins Flugzeug. Der Umgang mit den Filtern ist zwar etwas fummelig, eher etwas für Uhrmacher als Maurer. Das lässt sich wohl kaum anders lösen. Ich bevorzuge die weissen Filter. Sie produzieren einen Mitte/Hochton-Bereich, der seinesgleichen sucht. Ein hervorragendes Produkt für audiophile Musikhörer unterwegs.

I've always had trouble with in ear headphones. Maybe my ears are just strangly shaped. Byt Audeo PFE 122 fit just perfect when used with Comply Foam Tips. The sound is cristal clear. They are not for bass heavy lovers but otherwise if you like natural sound they are fine for things from classical to heavy metal.

15.07.2010 | MUM | Freiburg | Deutschland

Habe mir vor kurzem die PFE 112 gekauft und muss sagen, dass ich mich Ärgere diese InEars nicht früher gekauft zu haben. So einen sehr guten Sound und Passform habe ich nicht erwartet und bin absolut glücklich. Ich kann dieses Produkt nur weiterempfehlen!

*****..die HIFI Händlerin meines Vetrauens, in Essen, nannte mir bei meiner Frage nach guten MP3 In Ear Hörern, die üblichen Verdächtigen im Preissegment von 50-70 €. Nachdem ich Ihr erklärte, dass ich quallitativ hochwertigere Hörer haben möchte, bot sie mir die Audéo PFE 11x an. Da man In Ear Hörer bei Nichtgefallen nicht umtauschen kann, habe ich mich auf die Aussagen der Fachfrau verlassen und die Audéo PFE 11x gekauft. Zuhause angekommen, habe ich das Begleitheft studiert und mir das "Zubehör" angeschaut, die Kopfhörer laut Anweisung angelegt und Tubular Bells "aufgelegt". Wahnsinn. Habe alle Kombinationen (8) ausprobiert, bin bei Audiofilter grau und Comply™ Schaumstoff Ohrkomfort-Stücken, Large, gelandet und bin begeistert. Hörgenuss pur. -Das Anlagen der Audéo PFE 11x gestalltet(e) sich ein wenig schwierig.

Ich habe seit 2-3 Monaten diesen Kopfhörer im Einsatz mit meinem iPhone zum Musik hören und als Schlagzeuger Live und im Studio, als Monitor. habe noch nie was vergleichbares gehört, sehr linearer sound.... gerne wieder

01.06.2010 | Daniel Bauer | Köln | Deutschland

Ich habe eine lange Reise in Sachen Kopfhörer hinter mir, meistens im mittleren Preissegment. Von Koss über Sony und Sennheiser bis zu Bose. Da ich die Hörer beim Joggen trage, ist mir Tragekomfort und Halt im Ohr genauso wichtig, wie der Sound. Und jetzt scheine ich meinen Traumhörer gefunden zu haben, das fängt bei der Kabelführung über das Ohr an, und hört beim überragenden Klang auf. Bestnoten ! Beim Einsetzen der Hörer und beim Hören der ersten Töne überkommt mich ein Grinsen, dass erst kurz nach dem Ausschalten wieder verschwindet. Ein Extra-Dankeschön für die schnelle Lieferung, jetzt kann ich mich noch mehr auf den Urlaub freuen.

The quality of the ear phone is wonderful. It is indeed precise and gives comfort to the ears. I am also very confident that the ears will not be disturbed. The service provided is very commendable. Appreciate the gesture shown in replacing the ear tips when i requested. Keep up the good work.

Over the last years I have purchased and regularly used many well regarded generic IEMs: Etymotic ER4P and ER4S, Shure SE310, UE Triple.fi 10s, Westone 3s, Shure SE530, and Sennheiser IE8. All of these have their strengths and weaknesses. E.g. the Etys only sound (really) good when they receive a boost of 6 dB (ER4P) to 9 dB (ER4S) in the frequency range below 60Hz. The Triple.fis have a much wider soundstage than the Etys and also very airy highs, but these tend to be too prominent leading me to attenuate them most of the time (minus 6 dB above 9kHz). The Westone 3s have a good, although slightly humped bass. Their weakest point is the midrange, which is severely lacking with female voices sounding surprisingly disappointing. Their highs are quite ok but not as extended and refined as those of the Etys and the Triple.fis. Both Shures have strongly recessed high frequencies (above 10kHz), the SE310 more so than the SE530, but even the latter needs heavy equalization in order to be enjoyable. The Sennheiser IE8 on the other hand are ridden by a blown-up midbass. While their spatiality, the mids, and the highs (potentially) are great the bass needs to be EQed down by almost 10 dB (at 150Hz; 0 dB below 50HZ and 0 dB above 300 Hz) in order to avoid that it is overwhelming and muddles the mids and highs. Compared to all of these IEMs the Phonak Audéos do an amazing job! With the black filters and silicone sleeves mounted they have a very natural and very well balanced sound signature with excellent extension on both ends of the spectrum. They are able to transmit low frequencies as low as 30 Hz and with good impact and control, which makes Contrabasses sound spectacular. Low frequencies are not overemphasized, so these are no IEMs for “bassheads”. High frequencies are reproduced up to a real 16 to 16.5 kHz giving for example cymbals, bells, and acoustic guitars the magic sparkle that I love so much. Well mastered live recordings like Patricia Barber’s live versions of „blue prelude“ or „Norwegian wood“ on „A Fortnight in France“ sound amazing over the Phonaks. These provide the energy and drive that is needed to give music the touch of the real. The midrange is not completely in the same league as the bass and the highs, but still better than what the Westone 3s can deliver and about on the level of the Triple.fi 10s. With regard to mids the SE530 and the IE8 do slightly better than the Phonaks. On the other hand the soundstage of the Phonak’s is nothing short of stunning. It’s practically as good as the one of the IE8s and larger than the one of the Triple.fi 10s, the SE530, the Westone 3 and the SE310 (in this order). The Phonaks are not perfect IEMs but of those mentioned above they make the music sound and feel most “real”. (The Triple.fi 10s and the IE8s can be even slightly better, but only when EQed as described; without EQ the Phonak Audéos are more balanced and natural and do a better job.). Let me state two downsides that may or may not be important for potential buyers: Firstly, the isolation of the Audéos isn't on par with the one of the Shures (SE310 and SE530) and the Etys ER4P/S. Comply tips improve on that, but as the nozzle is pretty short you won't be able to really enjoy them in an airplane, for example. For daily commuting in a train however they are perfect for me. Secondly, the early batches of the Audéos had a problem with a) cracking cases and b) cables becoming somewhat stiff. Out of the three PFE 111/112 that I’ve bought (two for me one for my wife) none has had a problem with the case. But I had to exchange two of them due to the cable issue. Phonak was very helpful and replaced the PFEs with a new set including all the accessories. To my knowledge the revised model has no more of the issues mentioned. If you are looking for a set of generic IEMs I suggest that you give the Audéos a listen. IMO they are the best buy not only in their price range but also significantly above. (BTW I am in no way affiliated with Phonak other than being a satisfied customer.)

Die Audéo-Kopfhörer sind einfach fantastisch. Für Geschäftsleute, die den halben Tag ihre Smartphone 'ausgeliefert' sind, ein absolutes Must-have. Die Soundqualität, die Rauschunterdrückung und vor allem der Tragekomfort sind unglaublich gut. Auch für den Sport (Laufen) haben sie meinen bisherigen Kopfhörer sofort verdrängt, da sie einfach drin bleiben und bei dem klasse Sound es einfach noch mehr Spass macht. Definitiv jeden Franken wert!

Ich habe mir diese Kopfhörer auf Grund diverser Blogeinträge gekauft, erstmal nur um diese zu testen, da ich schon länger auf der Suche nach guten Kopfhörern für mein iPhone bin. Ich bin nach vielen Kopfhörern dann bei den Audeo gelandet und bin schlichtweg begeistert!!! Alleine nur die Verpackung ist so genial schön und wirkt richtig edel! Allein dafür schonmal Respekt! :) Nach dem auspacken und ersten anprobieren, merkte man direkt, die Teile sitzen im Ohr als wären sie nur für mein Ohr angepasst! Wahnsinn. Ich würde mir diese wieder kaufen und empfehle sie auch jedem weiter, der Wert auf vernünftige Qualität legt, sei es der Ton oder die grandiose verarbeitung! Das Kabel ist im vergleich zu vielen anderen (höherpreisigen) Kopfhören wirklich dick, wird also so schnell nicht kaputt gehen! Kommen wir dann zum Support. Der Support ist wirklich wirklich gut! Bei Fragen oder Problemen wird direkt geantworten 30minuten nach meiner Frage, bekam ich eine aufschlussreiche Antwort der Mitarbeiter und sogar vom Marketingleiter! Respekt! Tolle Kopfhörer, wenns geht würde ich auch 6Sterne bieten :-) Liebe grüße aus Bochum, Danny

17.04.2010 | Martin K. | Düsseldorf | Deutschland

Für Leute die wirklich Musik "hören" wollen einfach absolute Spitzenklasse! Tolles Klangbild und für jeden Musikgeschmack durch die Filter anpassbar. Ob Metal, Jazz oder elektronische Musik, diese Kophhörer sind einfach nur der Hammer und absolut empfehlenswert!

I own and have owned quite a few different types of headphones from Sennheiser, Sony, Philips and Grado, and I've got a set of Shure E4C IEM's (about double the price of these PFE). I can honestly say that since I got these ones, I haven't looked back. I used to use the Shure phones in the car and on the train/bus/..., and a full size phone like the Grado SR60 at home, the PFE's are so comfortable that I can't go back to any other set without some complaint or other. And they sound quite as nice as the Shure E4C (though not identical), without the annoying tendency to pop out of my ears every 10 minutes, or the in-ear ache after a prolonged use. After about a year, I sent my first set of these back because a wire had started to crack, and I recieved a replacement set from an obviously new batch, with a more sturdy, rubbery cable which had been reinforced at the point where mine had been cracking. I honestly hope these or similar headphones will be around when I'll need a new set someday, 'cause the choice 'll be easy: do me another pair of Phonak Audéo PFE ;) I wish whoever reads this and goes out to buy a set, as much pleasure with them as I've had...

das was ich da höre ist unglaublich! zuerst war ich etwas enttäuscht, weil die bässe etc. nicht so recht durchdringen mochten. doch dann hab ich die ohrfilter gewechselt und siehe da! wichtig: die dinger müssen gut "sitzten" (hatte die mittleren drin und das machte zuwenig zu)... das was da jetzt aus meinen ohren dröhnt ist besser als jeder sure und UE 3-weg hörer den ich besitze...fantastisch das ding!!!!

Das PFE 122 welches ich über den Webshop gekauft habe, ist der Hammer! Die Comply Ohrstöpsel dichten Aussengeräusche super ab und so habe ich auf dem Weg zur Arbeit im Zug endlich meine Ruhe. Das Tollste ist die ergonomische Form der PFE. Bislang konnte ich keine Im-Ohr-Kopfhörer tragen, da diese immer aus meinem Ohr herausfielen. Super Produkt!!

03.02.2010 | Fabio | Zürich | Schweiz

Diese Kopfhörer sind einfach der Hammer. Die Sound Qualität ist hervorragend und treffen gerade mit den schwarzen Filtern für mehr Bass voll meinen Geschmack. Darüber hinaus verfügen sie über einen hohen Tragekomfort und sind schön klein - was will man mehr. Für diesen Preis eine unschlagbare Wahl!

26.01.2010 | Bernhard TAMM | 8020 Graz | Austria

Diese Ohrhörer sind für mich einfach die besten!Ich benutze sie mit einem iPod Touch und habe auch Ohrhörer von AKG und von Dr.DRE. Aber die Ohrhörer von Audeo sind einfach Spitze.Der klare und doch volle Klang sind wunderbar,ich könnte damit den ganzen Tag Musik hören.Meine bevorzugte Musikrichtung ist R&B wie zum Beispiel von Joss Stone u.ä. Ich habe von diesem Produkt zufällig in der Zeitung gelesen und dann sofort bei der Fa.Hansaton in Graz gekauft. mfg Bernhard TAMM,Graz

22.01.2010 | Elena | Zurich | Switzerland

I love my PFE! It really blocks away almost everything around you - so no more listening to annoying chats of other people in the train, just music out of my PFE! Great also to work out as the earphones stay in your ears. And last but not least: Good also for my ears as I don't have to turn the music too loud...

Obwohl ich am Anfang sehr skeptisch war, dass man mir Hilfe bat, wollte ich trotzdem versuchen, meine Kopfhörer auf Garantie zu reparieren. Das Problem war, die Kopfhörer waren aus Amerika gekauft. Ich ging aber zu einem von Phonak angegebenen Händler (Amplifon an der Sonnenstraße in München), dort war das Personal sehr höflich und sehr nett. Ich dachte die Garantie aus Amerika wäre in Deutschland nicht gültig, aber die Frau von Amplifon hatte bei Phonak angerufen, und sagte alles wäre in Ordnung. Ein Zettel mit dem Bestelldatum der Kopfhörer, damit man sehen konnte, dass die Garantie noch gültig war (2 Jahre), war alles was ich brauchte. Eine Woche später wurde ich von Amplifon angerufen, die Kopfhörer waren zurück. Ich war aber erstaunt als ich ein ganz neues Paket (mit allen Bestandteilen) als Ersatz bekommen habe. Besser konnte es überhaupt nicht gehen. Super schneller Service und erste Klasse Personal. Meine 100% Empfehlung. Phonak, einfach super!

I'm not an IEM junkie and my only other "reference" quality IEM is the Etymotic ER4 so I'm not qualified to declare the PFE as THE BEST, price no object. I realize that custom fit IEMs can be in another league all together but I have no interest in that. Having said that, The PFE has continued to impress me as I continue through my large music collection. After 2 weeks of intense comparisons and testing I conclude that the PFE is extremely detailed without being too analytical which equals a non-fatiguing, fun experience.My reference HP is a modified HD 650. I find treble extension to be very good with a very pleasing, effortless and airy presentation with no perceived "roll-off". Bass extension is excellent having a fairly tight/fast output. My crude test tone session confirms a strong 20Hz~17kHz output. I use Grey filters which I find to allow better mid/HF detail with plenty of bass. Based on my testing and by the graphs which compare Grey/Black filters, I feel that the Black filters hold back the best of what the PFE has to offer. Happy listening !

I'm a tech writer who for some reason has a cube in close proximity to inside sales. If there's a god, he's got a sick sense of humor. I'd been using Bose over-the-ear noise canceling headphones and my personal laptop as my MP3 player to block the schmaltz coming over the cube walls. Effective, but cumbersome. So I recently decided to treat myself to an iTouch, and to get some quality ear buds to go with it. I've owned both Sony and Bose ear buds before and was disappointed with the sound quality of both. The Bose buds were also very annoying in that the ear tips kept popping off. After reading lots of reviews online I decided to spend a bit more than I had for the Bose ear buds and go for the Audeo Phonak buds. The sound is incredible! The sound is clean and crisp and balanced across all ranges. I'm picking up detail that was either missing altogether or else was very muddied, even with the Bose headphones. Clapton sounds awesome! They're extremely comfortable over long periods of time. They do pretty good at blocking noises in the salesman vocal range. And the ear tips have never popped off. If you're looking for thumping bass, look elsewhere. If you're looking for high-quality sound reproduction at a reasonable price, I can't recommend these highly enough.

29.01.2009 | Noah Gentry | Cincinnati | Ohio, USA

No need to spend more money, these are the IEM's you need. I listen to them as much as possible, and I enjoy the accurate sound that they produce. I've listened to all types of music, and they have yet to disappoint. Their clarity and response, as well as accuracy is what really amazes me. I simply could not ask for a better IEM, I don't even think I'll be looking anymore, especially at the price, excellent value, not sure I can find anything better. I am really please with them, in fact most of the time I'd rather be listening to them than doing something else. I usually fall asleep with them in at night too... very comfortable. They are worth the listen, and don't be surprised if they beat out IEM's at 2-3times the price!

29.01.2009 | Tom | Philadelphia | Pennsylvania, USA

I own a pair of Westone 3s, MSRP $399, and after much back and forth, the PFEs deliver better sound to my ears. I am no audiophile, but I have been through more than a dozen pair of mid-priced IEMs, and nothing has had such an immediate impact as the PFEs. At their price, the PFEs are untouchable, but they also can compete with the top-tier IEMs as well. Best of all, if you hook them up to a quality HP amp, which I did, they sound even better. So they respond very, very well to amping. Only small issue I have is they can be hard to drive, depending on the player. But no matter, since a cheap FiiO E5 or E3 amp can eliminate that issue. With my Touch 2G and Sony A818, no amp needed. Just a tremendous value in IEMs. Transparency and clarity unlike any phones I have every tried, including the vaunted Ety ER4P/S. By all means, try the PFEs.

29.01.2009 | Ricey20 | Miliani | Hawaii, USA

I have to say, for the price, these things can't be beat. I'd give it more stars if there was an option for that. The sound is incredible and you can tweak it to your liking. Already these are beginning to make a stir at Head-Fi.org with very many positive impressions. If you are looking for highs and mids that are smooth, detailed, and clear, and accurate bass then look no further.

So I admit it. I’m an audio geek. a headphone junkie. an… AUDIOphile. Not the scum of the earth, just someone who’s hooked on the eargasm like music was smack. *sigh* I admit it. It was time to fess up. That felt good. What feels better is letting all y’all in on a secret. Nay, a PHENOMENON in the audio world. One of the four Top Tier Hearing Aid manufacturers, Phonak, has done a bit of research and released the Audeo PFE. The PFE in Audeo PFE stands for “Perfect Fit Earphone” and for me that’s the case. They make it easy: The package provides a pair of medium Comply foam tips standard, Grey mid bass filters standard, and a bunch of accessories. The accessories are: a set of Silicone Ear Tips in Small, Medium (bassiest fit for me) and Small, and a Filter Kit, as well as a dual compartment bag; one compartment for the ‘phones, and another for your ‘kit of tools and accessories. The Filter Kit is novel: it is a rectangular affair with an easy to find blue tool, where the screw end is the business end that you use with the filters. Go AHEAD. TRY THE GREY ONES FOR A DAY OR THREE. With your favorite BENCHMARK RECORDINGS. Then Rinse and repeat with the BLACK FILTERS… Use the Silicone Ear Guides.They just slide around the wires and provide a more comfortable fitting experience. They help make the earphones sensation-ally “invisible” to the music listening. I still can’t get over how much it sounds like you’re at a live concert, just without the moshing, jibber-jabber, and drunken idiots. That was an excited rambling from my journal last night… Thought you’d all enjoy it for the genuine quality it posesses. Yes, It sounds like a Live Concert. And if they had that commercial available on CD of the guy doing the Phone Advertisement saying “you could hear a pin drop” it would reproduce FAITHFULLY with these earphones. Enough Said. As for MY experience with Audio I’ve listened to Any Manner of Audio Source from Vinyl to MP3 to MiniDisc to FLAC to ALAC to WAV to CDDA to OGG to ACC to MP4’s .m4a… On Any Manner Of Device from AK1200s to The Good Sony Discmen (metal) to Panasonic MiniDisc Recorders to Cowon D2s to Creative Zen Vision W’s to nice Kenwood and Aiwa stereos, and even, wait for it, mmmm… ONKYO. Yeah Baby Yeah. Throw in some Nakamichi to round things out and I can say, I’ve HEARD. From all Genres. Personally I like the Grado SR-60 Headphones. They’re my fallbacks. I started out with the most expensive Fontopias from Sony in the 80s because I wanted to dream with my music… Detours aside… Best Personal Set has been Etymotic’s ER*4 series the S and the P depending on Headphone Amp. Yeah I was one of those till my amp died. Then after a few un mentionables I found V-Moda and the Bass Freq’s they go down to 8Hz at the floor (BASSment) and have bright, clear celings (hilights) so I was sold. Most recently I auditioned the JLab J2 which pulled me in with some good reviews and a novel Cobalt Magnet design but the sound was cheap and wooden and I was angry about that. Good marketing, poor product. MY opinion. However I’m glad I ran across the Anything But iPod review (or I don’t think I’d ever have found these audio-tastic marvels of SWISS engineering and Vietnamese FAB Fabrication!) and I’m just lucky. Lucky that I broke my original pair of Bass Freq’s, went shopping, bought and hated the J2’s (Thank You JLab) and went on to find abi’s review, Phonak, and the Audeo PFE’s. Now I can go to the prerecorded Rock Show… Whenever!!! This concludes my write up on Phonak’s Audeo PFE’s: clarity, silky cream-laden smoothness, articulate bass tone. sparkling highs that fail to fatigue your ears. Black passive filters, medium silicone tips, silicone ear guides. “bassiest” sound for MY Ears. I’ve even dared to try listening sans filters, aka for that nude sound, and BOY can these BLINGIN GLITTER!!! Talk about hearing a pin drop! DEtailed. The soundstage is _impeccable_ Like being at a LIVE SHOW. YES! I’m bloody _serious_.

Perfect is what I would say about these Ive been all over the forums talking about them. Head Fi, AnythingButIpod to be specific. Get these! The Phonaks deliver, accurate highs, mids, and lows this is a must have for those in search for the top of the in ear headphone chain. To Phonak make the next pair the same! Just Better. More clear, more precise, at the same low price. Since people seem to look at the price and the company name an go "I never heard of this company before "RAISE THE DAMM PRICE" Maybe then they will look at them. By the way (SIDENOTE) Phonak I listen to these headphones with no filter. Pure Phonak Perfection Paridise. Thank You. That's the non-detailed posistive, heres the negative. Make the "perfect fit" claim be 100% true. Not 98%, I say 98% because sometimes I either have trouble finding a seal or when I take the out the Silicones are still in my ear! I am a audio purist meaning I only care about sound. 10/10, Comfort 9.7/10, (((!ISOLATION!)))7.5/10. Now the Isolation score depends on the kind of hard to get perfect fit. One more gripe then im done. Make the nozzle were the sound comes out longer so that they can go in the ears more and create a 2x better seal. Like the SHURES..the only reason Comfort even got a 9.7 is because of this, only reason Isolation got a 7.5 is because it suffered severely because of the SHORT nozzle make it longer please. Thank You.
