What Makes Ultimate Ears So Special
Investing in your custom fit earphones is an investment in a long history of handcrafted, high-end technology and an unparalleled service commitment. Founded in 1995, Ultimate Ears has spent over twenty years developing and fine tuning custom fit earphones that push technological innovation while redefining premium sound and comfort.
Initially created for touring musicians, the CSX series represents the latest development with a distinct fit for non professionals and a revolutionary Fitkit which allows for impressions to be captured from the comfort of home. Adapted for music lovers who are equally enthusiastic about the best in audio and comfort, CSX custom fit earphones emphasize all-day use while the Pro series has a deeper, more secure fit for onstage use.
Whether for audiophiles or music professionals, each pair takes over four hours to build and passes through a hundred individual touchpoints to ensure unprecedented quality. With a clear passion for excellence, Ultimate Ears is dedicated to delivering outstanding audio that is second to none.
Craftsmanship
There are no one-size-fits-all models. Your custom fit earphones are tailored to your singular ear shape.
The process begins with an impression of your ear which can be done by an audiologist for the Pro series or a Fitkit for the CSX series. Once your impressions are received by Ultimate Ears, they are individually checked for all the details necessary to build your custom fit earphones.
Next, the impressions head to the lab where they are scanned and 3D printed to create the shell that is made from your one of a kind earprint. With the outer shell formed, all of the components, wiring, sound tubes and filters are carefully placed inside by hand. After all of the pieces have been placed into the shell, each monitor is tested to ensure that they match the sound signature for that specific model. This is done before the shell is closed to enable any necessary modifications.
Once your particular sound curve has been secured, the shell is sealed and your custom fit earphones are buffed and polished creating their super smooth appearance. Perfectly constructed, they head to the art department where any custom artwork or logos are added to the exterior of the shells. Finally, they are ready to be boxed up with cables and case. Before shipping, every piece is quality inspected as it goes into the box and is checked for flawless condition and performance.
Service
In addition to the ultimate performance standards, Ultimate Ears renowned customer service accompanies your purchase. The first company to develop custom fit earphones, Ultimate Ears service teams ensure that you receive the best quality product and that it is delivered in record time.

Their efforts are meticulous and there are no shortcuts taken. The craftsmanship that goes into creating your custom fit earphones exemplifies the detail and care of their initial creation as well as the continued service commitment.
