Ultimate Ears UE 4 Pro Custom In-Ear Monitors [Molded to Fit Earphones Available for Beginning Bands]

You’ve all seen your favorite bands on stage with the lead singer trouncing around connected to the music through a pair of in-ear sound monitors. Often, those thousand-dollar in-ear phones are created specifically for the person wearing them, molded to conform to the exact curves and pockets of their outer ear. How cool would it be if you could use the same technology while listening to your iPod? Better yet, what if this technology was available to up-and-coming musicians at a price that won’t cost you your tour van?

Ultimate Ears, a division of Logitech, has been the world’s leading supplier of in-ear sound monitors for some of the most famous bands around – Seal, The Killers, and Switchfoot among them. 75% of the world’s top touring bands sport Ultimate Ears monitors. And now with the release of their UE 4 Custom Monitors even fledgling artists can afford these cutting-edge earpieces. Each set of UE 4 monitors is custom-designed to fit your ears perfectly.

So how do you get your hands on a pair? First, you will need to schedule an appointment with a qualified audiologist who will take impressions of your ears. Those imitation ears are then sent off to Ultimate Ears, where a pair of custom monitors is created based on these exact ear replicas. The finished product is guaranteed to fit as snugly as Jim Morrison’s leather pants. And a side benefit? Your mooching friends won’t be able to steal them for their own.

The UE 4 Pro Custom Monitors are available worldwide and list for $399/243GBP. Unfortunately, this cost doesn’t include your visit with the sound doc to get your molds made, but it’s a small price to pay for such hi-tech audible art.
