FS: Ultimate Ears UE-5c Custom Drivers for Re-shelling

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

**SOLD**

 

For Sale are a set of Ultimate Ears UE5c's.  These are fantastic IEM's, and I am only selling these as I have a spare pair.  I have heard a lot of IEM's, and IMO these are better than any universal fits that are available (including the upcoming Shure 535 that I heard at CanJam).  I also believe they hold their own in a price to performance ratio, as compared to JH13/JH16's which I have also heard.  There is lot's of information on Head-fi regarding these (they were considered the more musical and bassy version of the UE10's).  Some reviews can be found here:

I never thought to put these up for sale, until I recently discovered that third party vendors are now offering headfiers reshelling/remolding services for approximately $80....so that used drivers can be custom fit to your ears. 

 

If you ever wanted to have a fun and functional pair of customs for a great price, you won't beat this.  Even though they were $550 new, I would happy to get $100 for this set with an extra few dollars for shipping.  Paypal is cool.  Add in your $80 reshelling fee you'll do later and you have a custom for $200 or less. 

 

The UE5c's are in excellent shape.  The wire has exhibited the internal greening that is common to all IEM's with this braided wire type.  The manufacturer's (UE, Shure, etc.) have all stated that this is not a defect and that the sound is unaffected.  Either way, Ultimate Ears has inexpensive replacement wires, or you may be considering getting a wire upgrade anyways.

 

Feedback below...thanks for looking.
