Maybe they could put a nice Santa pic on a pair for me. Hmmm...

I just got my UE11s back after being without them for a short while (one of the earpieces needed a fit adjustment). While the UE11s were out, I spent a lot of time with my Westone ES2s.

As I write this, I am sitting at my dining room table with my now-properly-fitting UE11s on my Rockboxed iPod, going through a playlist of old favorites.

Now, the Westones have an edge in the value-for-performance department--as another poster once wrote, the Westones provide much more than half the sonic performance of the UE11s at about half the price.

Nonetheless, being without the UE11s for a while really has underscored for me what the they have over the ES2s: UE11s transport you. They put you in the middle of the performance. The listening experience is like a mini-vacation.

Is "being there" worth the big investment? That's an individual thing, but if IEMs fill a void in your headphone lineup and music is as big a part of your life as it is mine, it's an easy decision to make.

Man boomana looking at your UE finally gave me some inspiration to do something with mine.

Just emailed UE to see if I can send my Ue5 back in!! In pharmacy school so I am going to do a mortar and pestle and RX.

Wow. Your post is the first one to make me really want the UE11Pro over my Livewires, SE530 customs or Freq Show. Thanks a lot

You needed some anecdotal stories to realize the UE11 are pretty nice IEMs?

No, only to make me really want the UE11Pro over my Livewires, SE530 customs or Freq Show.

I couldn't have described the experience any better. After a long, hectic day of medical school, nothing beats reclining in my lazy-e-boy with my eyes closed and being immersed in euphonous sound

Yeah, but things were a lot harder in 1946!

I got a question that might be stupid. Lets say i buy UE11 today. How many years before i would have to change them becouse the shape of my ears would have changed and the fit would not be perfect anymore ?

Second: when u "change" them after that, u have to pay the full price ?

But I waited until 1984 to go.

Anyways, I think after a pair of Stax SR-007 the UE11Pro may have to be my next and hopefully last headphone purchase.



















Hah!

Yeah, I'm in a similar situation as you (except that I was born in '85!). I've been using the LiveWires for several months and love everything but reproduction of bass. Unfortunately, the only headphones that got it right for me were the Shure SE530s, but they were lacking in comfort and highs. The LWs, on the other hand, get the latter right but not the former. They are certainly accurate in the bass realm, I just like to hear it a little more. The iPod's equalizer does little more than distort, so I can't go in that direction.

But, like you, I'm saving up to buy the UE11s and it will, hopefully, fulfill my IEM need.

Now, onto replacing the Sennheiser HD-280s that were stolen!

Hey guys,

I've been using the UE-10 for about 3 years now.They're amazing IEM's but i want something new and different. As far as i understand by reading all the comments here, the UE-11's are warmer sounding and beat the UE-10's in all aspects.

I was wondering how the UE-11's sound unamped from an Iphone 3g compared to the UE-10's. I have been using the UE-10's unamped ever since i've bought them. If the UE-11's sound noticably better than the UE-10 without an amp i will get them. I hope some of you guys could provide me with some info on this.
