Interesting read indeed. It's always great to know more about companies and people in this industry. Thanks for the journey purrin, i'm looking forward to next chapters. Would be interesting to read about tomscy's experience too - the more info the better!

At least I get a picture of what UE is all about. Like an insider story.
Guess it helps to get closer to the ones who design IEM which I put on my ears, how or why they did it like it is.
 
Nice read 

 

[fjeena]

very cool indeed

Still got the factory tour and a few others things remaining. Been out of town for work so it's going to be bit until the next update.

Awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the tour.

 

[firev1]

Nice! I think I took a lot from this.

This is really interesting stuff.  Recently read up on tours on Dartzeel and Ayre and neither got into the meat-and-potatoes of the industry as well as this.  Now to get the other side of the story from the "sound engineer."  

 

[purrin]

Thanks everyone. I got to see some secret stuff too, but it one of those things where if I tell you, I would have to kill you afterwards.

This is indeed interesting. What always gets me womdering is that manufacturers all say that since their iems are expensive, they have to be perfect. I have no experience with UE but I wonder how their quality actually rates, vs UM, JH, Fitear, etc.

 

[shipsupt]

I've heard some pretty strong endorsements of Fitear finish quality, but I've not seen them in person.  
 
Comparing JH to UE's I've seen, the UE had far better fit and finish.

Part III was my favorite. Well done indeed.

When did Jerry Harvey become he-who-must-not-be-named? There I just said it -- Jerry Harvey. It feels good -- try it!

 

[purrin]

LOL. Wut. Who's Jerry Harvey?
