Logitech unveils MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 Noise-isolating Earphones

Jan 5 2009, 9:15am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Logitech unveiled the new MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 noise-isolating earphones for Apple iPod players.
While ear buds sit at the opening of your ear, Ultimate Ears by Logitech earphones deliver customized comfort by creating a “magic” seal between your ear and the outside world, dramatically limiting ambient noise. So you can hear your music clearly without being cut off from the world around you, both the MetroFi 170s and the 220s provide 16 dBs of noise isolation. MetroFi noise-isolating earphones use silicone ear-cushions that are soft enough to conform to the unique shape of your ear canal, yet strong enough to help create exceptionally accurate sound quality. From the lush timbres of your favorite pop vocalist and the bass-heavy thump of the latest hip-hop hit to the rich palette of symphonic music and the bright percussion of your favorite world beats, MetroFi earphones transform the MP3s on your MP3 player into musical magic.

The suggested retail prices for the MetroFi 170 and the MetroFi 220 noise-isolating earphones are $49.99 and $79.99, respectively, and the suggested retail price for the MetroFi 170vi and the MetroFi 220vi earphones are $59.99 and $89.99, respectively. These Ultimate Ears by Logitech products are expected to be available in February in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
