I love custom IEMs. LOVE them! I find them incredibly comfortable in a way no universal can possibly match. And they sound VERY good too, in some ways even surpassing the best full size headphones.
At one point I owned most of the "important" models from UE, JH, Noble, Westone, 1964 Ears, Unique Melody, etc. But the industry is moving too fast and there's no keeping up now.

Project86I'm thinking about upgrading to custom IEMs - how long do they last if you get a quality detachable cable?

GambLThe oldest pair I still have are about 7 years old. They still fit and work perfectly. But it really depends on your own physiology - supposedly the ears continue to grow/change all of our adult lives, at least in subtle ways. This could make a custom IEM no longer fit at some point in the future. And of course a large weight gain/loss could accelerate that process. As could wearing them in the gym and drenching them with sweat on a regular basis. Still, the same could happen to universal IEMs as well.
