Testing:

For testing I will be running through each audio range individually; I will be focusing on highs, mids, lows, and the speed response the earbuds are capable of.  Instead of giving a mark out of 10 I will just be talking about them and giving them my personal opinion on how well they performed.

Highs (Treble):

In order to test trebles I like to listen to a lot of treble heavy stringed instrument based music like classical and older metal. Piano and cymbals are another great way to test out sibilance in treble. I was pretty impressed the Metrofi 220vi’s were very bright in their treble but not too far to the point of hissing sibilance. The performed very well for these genres of music and neither did they make the music dull nor did they pronounce the treble too much to the point of making the music difficult to enjoy over long periods.

Mids (Mid-Range):

For midrange testing I always go with alternative music, the mixture of distorted guitar and loud vocals really tests the abilities of your earbuds midrange. Because this music is also inherently bass heavy it takes serious mid-range in order to balance the bass and the vocals. This being said, again the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi Earbuds performed incredibly well. I would personally say they performed as well if not better then my V-Moda Vibe ii’s which previously where one of my favorite earbuds when it comes to vocals and guitar.

Low (Bass) and Speed:

For bass it is pretty straight forward Atlanta based rap and r&b make for killer bass. The bass response on the MetroFi’s is not quite as nice as the V-moda Vibe ii’s but it performed very well. The bass was not light by any means but not in the same league as the bass from the Radius Atomic bass buds or the V-moda’s we reviewed in the past.

For fast hard hitting base and percussion the Metrofi’s performed seamlessly they were very crisp and very clear for every bass drum and snare hit. They popped with serious force compared to other buds I have used in the past. If you are a punk or house fan this buds for you.

Let's see the final thoughts:
