Is it true that customized IEM only lasts 2 years?
Where did you read that?

Just as I thought. The custom mold may not fit your ears properly after a few years since your ears' form may change after a few years as you age. All you need to do is have your ears remold. The drivers should be reusable.

Have you seen picture of the drivers as they are molded? I don't think they can be remolded.
Joker, have you had any moldings done or thought about doing one? If so, who have you or would want to yours done with if you want to save some bucks?
For what you're looking for, at least in terms of an IEM, the UM3X and CK10 are the two best universal options I've personally used. The UM3X has more dynamic breadth than the CK10 and a more robust low end. The CK10 has a more articulate and detailed top end. Both convey a lot of the little sounds in between that get lost via many earphones. The UM3X is probably the better "tool," but the CK10 has a more life-like sound is the better reproducer of music from an enjoyment sense. The UM3X can come across a bit artificial and less blended across the frequency spectrum. I would prefer the CK10 for listening to music, but the UM3X might be the better tool.
