Was just looking at UE customs and saw this :

The custom UE 11 Pro is available with the optional ambient feature to allow for stage bleed while controlling the isolation effect.

what is this bleed effect? Can anyone explain to me please?

The "Bleed Effect" diminishes the isolation effect of the IEM's by allowing the outside (ambient) sound to mix in with the sound from the IEM's. This is a common feature used by stage performing artists who want to have the audience/surrounding band acoustics pass into their monitors.

so how do you enable bleed effect? or is it just constant on?

anyway, im really considering ue11 now after trying out triple fi... i mostly liked the sound quality minus it being somewhat too bright for my taste and really terrible fit for my ears...
Ended up returning my triple fi but I really miss it now, my stock ibud / ksc75 / e4c is not musically fun anymore =(
I assume these are much warmer and not too bright compare to triple fi?

The ambient version of the UE11 has a vent, allowing sound to pass through from the outside to your ears. Attenuation is ~12dB. They come with a tiny rubber plug to close the vent if needed, boosting attenuation to ~26dB.

oh i see... do you happen to have a link to picture of an example?
would be a nice feature since I am planning to use at work as well.

Sorry, I have the regular version UE11. And I didn't see any pic that showed the ambient feature well. That's the only one I know: *:: mp3-player.de :: Info :: ultimate ears UE-11 Ambient custom made :: jetzt günstig bestellen (It might even show the normal version, FWIW).

UE11s are 30% warmer than triple.fi. The triple.fi just sound bright and too analytical based on my observations when I switch back and forth between the two IEM's.

30%... wow that sounds good enough for me... now is there anyway to avoid sales tax on these? I live in CA =(

From the impressions I got about the ambient feature in this thread (search), if you don't need it, you don't want it. Their are other options like the Shures PTH microphone extension if you need something for cheaper that will work better.

Hi fellow UE owners,

Well I finally saved up enough money to buy one of these baby. I got a few questions before making the trip to the audiologist. I am wondering with all the new headphones coming out should I wait a few more months to purchase these headphone. Maybe ue would create some new custom or universal by than. But can UE top the 11s any more being at is performance level, 4 balance, and a cost of 1150. Well I would like to know what you guys think lets say if you did not own a pair yet will you still go buy it now or wait for a bit more.

Thanks,
Ammo

PS. Right now I am using Triple.fi 10 (modded Wires) with RSA predator and source is Iphone//Zune.

i personally dont think UE will come out with 4 drivers anytime soon.

UE already released some new universal IEM last month but mostly are just upgraded with handfree unit. The only new product is Super.fi 5, sibling of 5Pro.

The next upgrade after getting your UE11 might be your player and perhaps your ears

How does UE11 SQ different from Se530? I know se530 has rolled high but how about soundstage, overall power, perhaps how does bass differ?

 

[grawk]

Comparing the UE11 to the SE530 is something along the lines of comparing a well amped R10 to DT770s.
