I went to the NEC on the first Monday with a shopping list which included some custom made in-ear monitors, after years of using the very good Shure EC2's. There were a number of stands supplying In-Ear's, but I wanted to go with a name I knew, so I gravitated towards the Ultimate Ear guys.
After studying the options, I chose to go with the 'tubed' type, where the speakers are set within the wiring and two tubes take the sound up to the ear plug. I guessed this configuration would stand up to repeated putting on/removal of helmet better than the fully wired version. This may or may not be the case, but it was what I wanted. I was told that If I used them for music there would be a slight degredation of sound quality.
My next question was, do you do a discount for UKGSER's? Without hesitation, not even a hint of 'oh if we must' the answer was certainly sir. Our own Judge then introduced himself and continued with the moulding procedure. I was told my monitors would be dispatched within 28 days. Well today, only two weeks later, they were delivered.
First impressions are of a very high quality product. The cabling is armoured, with sheathed joints that look like they will stand up to the rigours of repeated use reliably. The fit is perfect as you would probably expect from moulded plugs, but I have heard of poor fitting in-ear's before. As for sound, well all I can say is UE must have high standards if they call this 'sound degredation', I have no issues with it.
So............In my experience, an excellent product, a reasonable price, and a brilliant service. Nice one Judge, thanks very much
