In this episode I am ordering my first set of custom in-ear monitors from Ultimate Ears. These IEMs completely blow me away with how good they are. I wish I had the money to do this years ago but now is better than never. I was not paid by Ultimate Ears to make this review. Trust me, I wallet is much lighter making this video happen.

It said the discount code isn’t valid :/ was that a limited time thing?
@@aaron_phillips same problem here :(
@@kylemenasco So, you have to use the link provided to order, you can't just use the code on the regular site. I was able to get the discount applied. Mine are shipping in about a week :) Can't wait!
The UE7 I got 35% off due to them being the same as JH 7 pro for $649. Talk to one of the reps. I went through Jeanette Coffey. Hope this helps!
@@jg9432with coupon: WLH20 ?
"are they worth it" while having an affliate link in the bio LMAO
They are def not worth it if you want throw your money away buy UE
@@SuperJboy9 i got some they work like magic so shut up
I’ve had the ue rr capital studio edition for 7 years and never looked back. The great thing about those is that it’s not mixed so it’s more for mixing engineers to get the true sound. Make sure you upgrade and get the IPX connectors because they last longer.
Excellent review! I have tried all the UE demo's sent to me, and I chose the UE7 due to more mid range for my vocal. I have also tried JH Audio sheena, and Jh16v2 which are all amazing with 10 drivers. I still think the best all-around for musicians are the UE7s and UERR due to their flat accuracy of the mix! I have had my 7s for 5 years now, and it is the best investment made. Keep up the great work!
At least for my ears my 64 Audio (I use the A6T) are significantly more musical and less tiring to listen to that the UE's. That being said I agree that they are so much better than the typical Amazon ear buds and going custom really helps keep the volume down because of the isolation you can achieve with custom molds. Certainly an investment not just an expense.
Ah, I’ve been waiting for this video for a few months now. :)
Just got my ear impressions done today. Getting the UE Lives and the UE Premieres.
I use Clear tune monitors, i’m. Singer and i love it a lot… They are perfect for my job.
I have a pair of LiveWires I’ve had since 2007. Currently using Aclair and about to order another set from UE, Westone or upgrade a better Aclair model. Once I went custom IEM I never looked back!
Hey Chad, can you post a follow up video maybe two or three months from now? It’s really cool to see your first reaction (I can tell you’re excited 😀). I think it would be a cool addition to explain how much you actually gain from these IEMs in rehearsals and on stage. I think both the convenience of perfectly fitting IEMs as well as the clear sound are super helpful to band leaders, and honestly any musician in a role where they need to hear the others clearly (as in, drummers can usually get away with less high-end IEMs than say guitarists or pianists).
Rick, thanks for watching. The last part of the video is about 3 months later. I got them Dec 12th. I filmed the “what I think”portion a couple weeks ago. At last weeks rehearsal I used some of my $50 sets and I couldn’t finish rehearsal without getting my UE back out.
@@WorshipLeaderHangout I see. Yeah, I can definitely relate to that. :) It's pretty hard to find something decent for $50.
I like the Alclair studio 4 and have tour triple as a backup
I have a pair of live wires that I got back in 2006 and they are my back up. Currently using Aclair and about to upgrade the model on them or pick up another set of 64 Audio, Westone or UE. Once you go custom IME, you will never go back!!
Is it possiblento swap left and right channelcable? So to plug in the left cable in the right earplug and vice versa?
I love my DEER EAR IEMs with the MASG AddOn
Only here cuz I lost an earbud to my jabra elite 10s which I loved but just got a bluetooth dac to use with my iems so I'm revisiting that rabit hole. I have had my kzs for a while and even with their drama I love my pair. I would definitely flirt with a nicer pair one day being from UE. I have 2 megaboom 3 speakers (one I got from lost and found at work! After so long) and I use at least one of them everyday. I've seen a lot of bluetooth stuff being in a kitchen most of my life but nothing beats my boom 3 at that size point. Only complaint I have is I have had to reset my battery 2x on one of them but that has fixed both times. It's under warranty for another few months (2 years) so I may get a new but I think it's because I let the battery get too low both times. Their customer service is also awesome.
Drummer using 64 Audio A4s. For your preference I would recommend A6t. They give a discount if its for church groups.
where can i get information on the discount for church groups? haven't found it so far
Crinacle had review this set and said this is not a reference signature. what do you think about that
Hey Chad,
I’m also a UE artist I was able to get a discount for partnering with them. Not sure if you went that route but I would recommend it! 😊
So I have been having this problem when I have tried to pair my Megaboom 3 with my friend's Boom 2 with the PartyUp-feature. For some reason it only works if the Boom 2 is the "main speaker". On the Boom app when I try to use my Megaboom 3 as the main speaker it does recognize the Boom 2 on the shelf but when I try to move it next to the Megaboom 3 for pairing, it stutters for about 30-45 seconds and then just disappears completely. Meanwhile the pairing works just fine if my friend's Boom 2 is the main speaker. I don't know if this affects the sound quality any way but it's just a weird bug and I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this.
where can I get my ears moulded in the uk? what type of professional would I go to
I wonder how these compare to the Status Between 3ANCs
Congrats on those nice IEMs, man! Sure they’re really pricey, but I think you’ll be very glad you did. That’s how it was for me.
Now... don’t take this the wrong way, but you were sold by the description of the Reference Remastered? 😀 I’ve tried them as a universal fit option (and in my personal experience, whether an IEM is universal or custom fit *does not matter soundwise*). They didn’t sound perfectly linear to me, with EQed DT770 Pro and Adam Audio T7V tuned to my room in mind as a reference. They certainly sounded fantastic, but I didn’t necessarily like them better than my 64 Audio A3e. To me they seemed to have a significant boost from about 10kHz and up (whereas the A3e have a fairly wide bump at around 2k so it’s a matter of preference).
For people who are "ready for some serious sound", and who want to hear the music the way it "actually" sounds: triple driver IEMs will do the job IMO, and they don’t have to be custom molded, even though that’s really nice to have. But something like the Audio Technica ATH-E70 will give you _just that_ - at a fraction of the cost. Heck, even Tin T2 Plus are fantastic IEMs, not only for the price. Or BASN Bmaster. Those are two genuinely solid choices that cost you less than $100. From ~250 Hz and up, the BASN Bmaster actually sound more linear and just as clear as my 64 Audio IEMs. And in Germany, the A3e were ~$900 at the time, so TEN TIMES as much.
Finally I’d *strongly* recommend everyone to test hear IEMs before ordering something custom made. You’ll be surprised how different even high-end models can sound, so it’s a good idea to know what you’re buying before dropping that amount of cash.
Thanks Rick
Just like ear molds for my hearing aids 😁
Any thoughts on UE vs Inearz vs JH etc?
Can you compare the actual tone with the Wavs?
Hey ! Can you give me a quick feedback compare to the wavs customs ? Is there a world between them? Thank you!!
UE over WAVS for sure for fit and sound in my opinion.
would like a comparison between these and the wavs you got before. price to performance and fit comparison and recommendation from you
Great idea
same ! I'm vey interested by the difference !!@@WorshipLeaderHangout
Im using the sennheiser momentum 3 does those sound better? Im all about audio quality
Then why do you have wireless earbuds :D
When the parishioners of the church are paying this is what you go for
Custom 1964 Ears Quads
I ordered my 2nd pair of UE and it’s been over two weeks and I have not received them yet. I tried emailing them and no one responded. I tried calling and no one has answered the phone for the past 4 days. I left voicemails and no one has called me back. I called logitech and (even though they own the company) they say it’s not their problem. I tried their online chat and it is always down.
I would not spend thousands of dollars on this product. They currently have zero customer support/won’t even send you the product you buy in a timely manner.
They are a crap overpriced company who banks on fake paid reviews, so many better options they literally are robbing people.
Custom IEMs take time to build and quality check, much longer than two weeks in many cases. It is not as simple as packaging a pre-made product, especially when there are hundreds of bands using them on tour or artists paying extra for an express service. Custom IEMS are art as much as they are a tool.
Not really upset about the 2 weeks to receive them. More upset that I spent 1k on ears and no one responded to an email, phone call or any other form of communication. @@FELT.LIVEMUSIC
@@FELT.LIVEMUSIC100%
I also have two pairs, it takes time, try shooting an email to your rep or whoever helped you, these things are a lifesaver for musicians, if you haven’t played on stage leading a band for example you wouldn’t get it.
I’ve played killer shows with em.
100% would wait months for em if I had to.
I can tell you without a doubt they’re worth it, my band uses them for our LIVE rig and practices and can’t see myself ever using or playing a show without them, stage wedges don’t compare.
So these are obviously better than the Wavs you tried previously. But worth the extra $1000?
Correct 😅 but worth the extra 1k… for most people probably not. Am I glad I have them though, Absolutely! So it hard to say. The WAVS are nice though and I still want to try the upper levels they offer.
can be not though
only a 1 year warranty!
I had a terrible experience with the UE 11 pros, and with UE's horrible customer service. They assigned me to a rep named David Gutierrez who was entirely unresponsive for days, and when I had a problem, because instantly combative. I instantly regretted purchasing them. They say there have a 30-day money back guarantee, but what they don't tell you is there is a $400 "customization fee" if you return them, which means you're out $400 if you don't like them. Wildly overpriced with sound that's mediocre at best (my left monitor quickly developed distortion that ruins the sound at high volumes), I would avoid.
is ok, i just bought 3k ue premier 😂
I had customs iem for 280, they felt amazing until I ruined the left with some liguid going out of the shower.
Be careful with your stuff.
I hate ultimate ears, I spent over $1k on a pair many years ago and one of the buds would cut out at times since I was under warranty I was told to send them in for repair, so I did but when they received them some guy named "Marlin" said they never got them and instead received an empty box only with accessories. My heart was pounding cause I know that wasn't true and the only thing I can think of is he straight up stole them. When I called to complain and file an insurance claim they told me there was nothing they can do and they think Marlin did indeed steal them and he was "fired"... Complete nightmare and will never do business with this shady company again..
Strange, we don't have anyone past or present named 'Marlin' in the Irvine Office/Lab.
😃👌🏼💯🎧
Thanks for watching
Why spend more than $200 for max hour stage time weekly? Help me understand
I thought the same thing until I put these in my ears. I use them about 4-5 hours weekly for church and many more depending on what video and audio projects I’m working on. Thanks for watching.
Practice, rehearsal and service make this more than 1 hour a week. On average it should be 4-6 hours weekly for your average musician / worship member .
High end iems are an investment for professional use and casual listening. They can last literally decades worst case scenario is replacing the cable
@@zlevelx Also if you're running a business which requires this they become a business expense so the price becomes basically irrelevant as it would be considered an investment.
Cause they can use their hard earned money on whatever they want. Preference. Simple as that
WARNING for all prospective customers: the bluetooth on these is atrocious. It breaks up all the time. Only buy if you're going to use with cables.
I better like jh audio 🫣😳
I’ll check them out. Thanks
@@WorshipLeaderHangout i feel ue have changed the look of their iems compared to the other ones.. also i hate the cable
I want the old nostalgic back 😩😭
