Shane McGlaun, Jan 14th 2010 Discuss [0]

I have used consumer earphones from Ultimate Ears before and found them to be very good. The headphones I used from the company had great bass and sound quality. I bet the companies custom monitors for professional musicians would sound even better. Ultimate Ears has unveiled its new 18 Pro custom monitors today. Read The Full Story

Brenda Stokes, May 18th 2009 Discuss [1]

The Ultimate Ears UE 4 Pro earphones were released today and these things are for the serious audiophile, only. They offer a custom-fit, look super sleek and provide superior sound quality, at a price. These in-canal earphones can be molded to fit your ears and only your ears. They feature dual armatures to keep all the audio ranges separated but have fewer functions than the UE 5 Pro earphones, slashing $200 from the price tag. You can add on an ambient noise feature that actually allows you to hear the sounds around you in case you need to, you know, for your own safety.

The Ultimate Ears UE-11 Pro earphones

Abby McVay, Jan 16th 2008 Discuss [0]

When I splurged on nice headphones last year I went for Skullcandy, which to me was pushing my spending limits a bit. However, if you make more money sometimes you want top of the line equipment. Especially ones that the average Joe generally has issues snagging. These Ultimate Ears UE-11 Pro earphones have all the features and the price to go with it. Read The Full Story

These amazing little earbuds manage to pack in three tiny speakers in each ear and a three way crossover, that’s stuff I don’t even have in my home audio. The frequency response is 10Hz to 17kHz.

But its nice to see a pair of high end ear buds finally made for the iPhone that are offering up all the same features and the buds included with the iPhone. Read The Full Story

Ultimate Ears UE-11 Pro’s Aren’t Bionic Ear Upgrades, But Priced Comparatively

James Allan Brady, Aug 2nd 2007 Discuss [0]

Yeah they have four drivers in each custom molded ear-bud, but come on, $1150? They appear to be energy efficient too only costing you/your connected device 1mW of power for 110dB’s of sound. $1150!! I still can’t stop obsessing over the cost of these things! Yeah sure, you can’t even afford a physical system that included 4 subs, 2 mid ranges, and 2 tweeters for less than that, let alone being able to divide all that by two and then cram on half in each ear, but still.

Ultimate Ears again prove their worth – all $250

Chris Davies, Feb 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

Judie loved them, Jenneth thought they were awesome... how do you think The Gadgeteer's Ryan felt about Ultimate Ears' Super.Fi 5 Pro Headphones? It's fair to say that he - like most other people who encounter them - was initially stunned by the $249.99 price-tag they command. Still, as we've seen time and time again, the incredible performance they manage is enough to sway even the most hardened cynic. Any audiophile worth his beard should be using them, and if they're not they deserve to be stoned with peach pits. Read The Full Story
