Pity this iem isn't getting more attention, it's quite special. The UE18+ is designed as the ultimate stage monitor, and it more than succeeds at achieving its goal. It's one of the most accurate ciems for band-based music and vocals, and an overall very natural and smooth sound.

I wonder how far out the universal version is. I saw @twister6 had the universal UERR for review and I am very curious to see if Ultimate Ears will do that for their entire Pro line.Pity this iem isn't getting more attention, it's quite special.

Yes I'm almost certain there will also be a universal version of the UE18+.I wonder how far out the universal version is. I saw @twister6 had the universal UERR for review and I am very curious to see if Ultimate Ears will do that for their entire Pro line.

I don't know why UE not releasing the To Go version in US, both UERR and UE 18+ had the To Go version released in Asia for several months already.
That is surprising considering it is a US company. I thought that it would be quite a good option to attract new customers who do not want to go through the trouble of getting impressions (etc).I don't know why UE not releasing the To Go version in US, both UERR and UE 18+ had the To Go version released in Asia for several months already.
"Reasonably priced" he says. *sigh* The wonderful world of flinkenick...It's reasonably priced at $1500 hehe.
I am not jealous or anything. Not at all. [mutters profanities under his breath.]

Can't wait, mine are supposed to ship 6/29. I went with simple blue and clear see avatar pic. Also can't wait to try the 18+ Pros with Astell's new player.
I recently reviewed the UE18+ Pro (for people not following my thread).

Thank you for all that you do. I wanted to say thanks in your main thread, but it is a very busy thread. I look forward to catching up in that thread and your website in the coming years. I'm slow to process .
I'm out of touch with and too lazy to get into other brands. My UE-10s needed repair so it was time for an upgrade. As long as UE had something competitive, I was all-in. They have great customer service and location-wise convenient for me.
Your recent profile of the UE 18+ helped in deciding versus the UERR and it's competitiveness with other brands.
I maybe in Hong Kong soon so planning to stop by PWaudio.
Do you recommend or highly recommend the 1960s with the 18+?

I wasn't planning on a aftermarket cable yet, but since I maybe nearby PWaudio... and reading your website on this cable...
Cheers

The 1960's cables come in two versions, the 2-wire and 4-wire. Both are very good cables, with the 4-wire being more technical, but also brighter. Considering its price, I think you might be referring to 2-wire? 1960 2-wire is a unique cable, in that it creates a rather warm sound and a somewhat dark stage. It's a 'romantic' sound, like a candle-light dinner. But I find it pairs best with brighter or colder iems, or else the sound easily gets too warm and laidback.
But indeed, to maintain UE18+ Pro's timbre, I would stick with a copper cable. But honestly, something like PW Audio's No. 5 is already fine. It's clean-sounding cable, only lightly warm, but with an accurate timbre. Although I must admit I rarely cable-roll these days due to the shootout, so I haven't tried many cables with UE18+. At home I just listen with the SilverFi IEM-R4 when I want to relax. But, two cables that I generally like for their warm sound and timbre are plusSound gold-plated copper and PW Audio No. 5. But of course wait to see if and when you get the UE18+ Pro what you would like to change/improve.
