I have a pair of UE Super.fi 5 pro's that are great, but I have somewhat of a sad story. Last time I flew here to Europe, I put my ipod into the plane seat pocket in front of me so I could take a snooze (9 hour flight...aargh). Upon arrival, I discovered that my knee had applied pressure to the phones while they were inside the seat pocket, which caused one of the ear pieces to crack/break at the bend where it connects to the small cable connector. Oh well, when I get home I'll either buy another pair or see if I can order a new earpiece. Something tells me that I'm gonna be better off just buying a new pair though...ya know $120 for an earpiece or $180 for a new pair type thing. Besides, if I do that, I'll have plenty of spare parts.
