Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 – stylish new ‘top fire’ armature earphone

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 – new single driver earphone

The Super.fi 5 (not Super.fi 5 Pro) is the new single driver earphone from Ultimate Ears and can be found in the UK at the HiFi Headphones store.

The new Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 takes a fresh approach and uses what Ultimate Ears call a ‘top fire armature’ to cover the entire frequency range with a single driver. Other earphone brands call this new wider frequency driver technology ‘wideband’ or ‘full range’ drivers.

The previous model Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro earphone utilises dual drivers (sometimes called mini-speakers), with one driver concentrating on bass with the other working on mids and treble. Cross-over electronics inside the earphone splits the signal to feed each of these drivers.

Why a Single Driver?

One of the biggest advantages of using a single driver in the UE Super.fi 5 is that the earphone can be made smaller, which means the in-ear fit is easier and more comfortable for long term listening.

See the pictures below of the Super.fi 5 and possible fitting options with the wire running over and under the ear:

Other Single Driver Earphones

The single driver approach seems to be the way earphones technology is developing. See the links below for some more examples of miniature single driver earphones:
