For what it's worth, I bought a pair of UE custom made IEMs a while back, and they are terrible. The sound sucks, the fit, despite being altered twice at my request, is awful, and it seems to me to be a complete waste of money. I have both the Dragaonfly Cobalt and the Chord Mojo, both lovely amps, and neither made the UEs sound decent.

1250 for 6 BA iem n o t y. Reputable company but these are like a decade old basically. For 1250 you can get 14 drivers in each ear, and the drivers are 2021 sonion/knowles not 2013.

Got my shipping notification!
Received them today 6/8. Estimated ship date was June 26 so these actually shipped 3 weeks early. Aces!
I opted for the black faceplate version. On first inspection under light, I thought there were marks on the faceplate as I noticed very fine striations, barely noticeable, but this just looks to be a normal part of the 3d printing process; I'm just anal like that.

I love that these come with the Linum G2 SuperBax cable! I have the Linum G2 SuperBax MMCX Cable for my Westone UM Pro 30 IEM's, and it seriously takes them to a whole nother level IMO! I also have a Linum G2 Bax MMCX Cable, and it's also very impressive! But the SuperBax cable is the cat's meow and you definitely can't go wrong with it!!!!!!!

FOBeanDo be aware there is no balanced cable compatible with this version of the UE line on the market yet. It feels way more durable than MMCX and UE previous 2pin

Curious how these compare to the previous generation UE 18+ with non-plus True Tone drivers. The linked Sound & Vision review is for the previous gen not the 3rd gen offered in this drop. The True Tone Plus drivers were only announced just a little over a month ago. I haven't been able to find any comparisons yet.
Also, wish there were more faceplate choices available.

The pinnacle of non-electrostatic IEMs. It would be an opportunity to listen to these in length.

joemouYes, an objective in depth comparison comparing the two would be great.

joemouHere's one: https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2014/11/22/flagship-custom-in-ear-monitors-from-noble-audio-ultimate-ears-and-jh-audio/ and another https://www.theverge.com/2016/7/28/12309948/noble-audio-k10-ultimate-ears-18-pro-in-ear-monitors-review.
In general, they're saying the Noble was preferred as it was just a smidgen better in detail and more dynamic. However, it's not night and day and will still really boil down to personal preference as you can't really go wrong with either.

Yup. Had to look again but it was in the Noble k10 thread just a couple months ago:
Uzuzu - "Iems cause me pain because my left ear was ruptured. I sparingly use a pair called the philips tx2, they're like 30 bucks otherwise I use some vintage earbuds, used to own westone um-p 3. I've demo'd 64's best and the shure 846, I know there is better but, difference wasn't worth it not even close. Right now I've been using the Monoprice Retro as an over-ear and they cost 18 dollars, 23 dollars shipped to my door. I put dampening in the housing and modded it to have a detachable cable for the cost of approximately 2 dollars. I'm enjoying it a lot more than my Ether Flow C's I happened to sell off and have used it almost exclusively for 2 weeks. It stomps on the 598cs, easily. I know that isn't IEM talk, but detail isn't everything or worth it, always. I just happen to enjoy the music when it sounds good, not when it costs the most. IEMs hit the wall much quicker than headphones do. Personally my favorite headphone I've heard is the Amiron, unrelated but I can't not mention that gem."
I dunno, I guess I can understand it from his perspective that if he has a physical issue that prevents him from using a certain piece of equipment. But all the hate and generalizations is what seems rather misguided to me. It would be easy to say, they're just not for me, but he constantly denigrates the item and users as if it's their shortcoming as well. That projection just rubs me the wrong way.

jaydunndidditHe has a point though these are outdated headphones that keep getting sold here as if they are new. It’s like Drop offering IPhone 8 in 2021 for 5% off retail price. I don’t respect companies that sell the same products for almost a decade unless that product is something that can’t be improved, which everything can be improved.

Nothing like these baby. I heard them one in a Convention change the way I tough what music was. Too bad I will never be able to afford a pair. But if you are lucky enough buy them!

PinkyusafI can ASSURE you you can get 98% as good headphones for only 50 bucks in chifi in 2021. I have thousand dollar headphones and they sound virtually the same as my $50 headphones unless I sit there and compared both of them for hours to try to find subtle differences that can only be found if you really sit there and try to find them.
