New, cool headphones are coming from Ultimate Ears – MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220, both of which feature a single-driver, in-ear design. The difference between the two models is in a titanium-coated speaker that is featured in the model 220 for more detail in the higher frequencies.

Both headphones sport a red-colored right earphone to help distinguish between left and right buds, which is cool. Also included in the box are three sizes of silicone ear cushions, as well as a carrying case.

For the iPhone users, Ultimate Ears prepared special “vi” models that also feature an integrated microphone for calls and remote button for call management and basic playback control.

Ultimate Ears’ MetroFi 170 and MetroFi 220 will be available in February for $50 and $80, respectively; the vi models will sell for $10 more.
