Bear in mind that my praise for these phones is from a non audiophile perspective. Frankly I can't tell a big difference in sound from various phones especially being as I am listening to mp3s on my ipod not CD quality audio through Hi-Fi equipment. What I am concerned with are issues like comfort, isolation, and convenience. And in those areas the UR-10 delivers.
I recently discovered that I just can't wear canalphones anymore. Hurts my ears. But I need isolation to block out sounds when I am using my iPod. Big circumaural closed cans would do the trick, but they look goofy when used with a portable and the cords are often way to long for mobile use. Enter the UR-10. Its a closed supraaural can in a small size. It doesn't block nearly as much outside noise as a canalphone like the e2c, but does a good job. The cord is a perfect 4 ft and is thick and sturdy feeling. Appearance wise, its sort of goofy looking, but not as bad as a full size can. In short it serves great as a portable isolating headphone for use with an iPod or other mp3 player. And its a fraction of the cost of the Senn PX 200 which is a similar phone I considered. For the non audiophile definitely worth a try at under $10.00.
