Well, honestly, my experience with Logitech includes:
A) The wireless original Xbox controller: The best controller I've ever used in a console EVER in my opinion, and I wish they'd do it again for the 360.
B) A wireless keyboard and mouse set: I've been using it now for close to 10 years and I'm only on my second set of rechargeable batteries. I love it to death and have no idea what I'd do without it.
C) My webcam: Admittedly I rarely use it but it serves its purpose well and I've never had any problems with it. I HAVE had problems with other webcams though.

So...while my experiences are extremely limited, the quality of Logitech products (in my opinion) seem to be in the upper echelon of what's out there...am I missing something?]]>Aug 14th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
Yes, you are missing the fact that Logitech does not make good headphones, while UE does. The hope is that they don't try to change what's already working well.

I love my UE's, so they'd better not go to shit. ]]>Aug 14th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Logitech UE5P Revolution in-ear monitor for iPod

I wouldn't expect much different from this acquisition of UE by Logitech, since it's a similar maneuver towards higher end audio hardware. They must know that the whole point is to keep the quality going on a product that they could not otherwise design and manufacture on their own.]]>Aug 15th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 16th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/

When these wear out, I'd buy a more expensive pair from them in a heartbeat. ]]>Aug 14th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
Very comfortable and the bass will blow your ears. :D]]>Aug 14th 2008 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
The current system for UE RMA's is fantastic. I talk to one person, and i even know her by name (had to return UE Super.fi EB's a few times since the removable cables would seize in the pins and pull the jack right from the headphone, dangling wires and all).

Also, unbelievable ear buds. But boy are they brittle.]]>Aug 14th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Now it's happened again, and I am so disappointed that I'm not sure I want to even deal with UE. I am tempted instead to write them a letter. This is definitely a quality issue with the Super.Fi 5 EB series. I have the 3 and haven't had this problem at all.

Has anyone else had this problem?]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
Obviously, it separated from the body, but the wires didnt detach from the solder points, so i took some epoxy and a tooth pick and coated the jack with it and set it back in place, holding it down (for some reason, it was fighting to stay in place). Now, i can go nuts pulling and tugging on the chord, and even replace the cable when i please, without having to worry about it coming loose again. These are hear to stay, thats for sure.

But oddly, it only happened to one side (same with the first set i had), and wouldn't you know it, it was my right side. The left side wouldn't come off regardless of how hard i tugged, because the cable would come apart from it (the way it should). Its odd.

I wasn't going to RMA these because, quite frankly, i cant listen to music anymore without these. All other headphones are pathetic compared to the sheer amount of sound that comes out of these. Even my Shures were no match for the quality and quantity of sound from the EB's. This is a good pickup for Logitech, that's for sure. It just better remain good for consumers, but considering all their acquisitions have remained strong post purchase, im not worried. But i do like the personal nature of UE's existing RMA department.]]>Aug 14th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
i've called logitech for support on my remotes and they didn't even know they had a remote control product line.]]>Aug 14th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
I have tried both the triple fi and Shures se530 and the Shures are slightly better for sound quality and both the high end and the low end.

Ofcorse at the price bracket of these products the difference is barely noticeable.

Also the Shures are insaneley expensive.

Logitech has an excellent reputation for the quality of their speakers lets hope this will extend to their future earbud products.]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/
Logitech makes some good stud and a lot of schlock.

I do not know where I stand on them yet, if they were worth it over a set half the price or less, I may never know. I do like that I can put them in at work and can hear nothing, which works great when co-workers go on hour long disertation about the new Batman (or any new movie a geek would like) or World of Warcraft.]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 14th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 15th 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/logitech-snaps-up-ultimate-ears-chasing-this-portable-audio-m/Aug 15th 2008 2:42PM
