I will be visiting the US next summer, and by that time I want the rock-star treatment to get the custom UE-12.

Well, I convinced my mom to buy UE-11 after she heard my SF5 Pro's, as seen in this thread: My mom is about to get UE-11's

So we sent our impressions in at the same time, with artwork instructions. When we later received them, UE had mixed the impressions up, so I got my mom's artwork with a golden horse shown in my avatar, and she got my translucent black with a silver UE-logo.

We sent mine in for an artwork change, but mom wanted to keep hers as a backup while they were gone (takes us almost three weeks to get the new pair from Sweden).

So when I two weeks ago received our two new pairs there was an even bigger screw-up: They sent us two new pairs fitting my ears! I now have a pair of silver UE-logo translucent black and the golden horse pair.

So when mom later gets her new pair, we will both have two pairs for the price of one (UE told us they would charge a minimal fee for the backup pairs, but it seems they are so sorry for the mess up they will let us have them both for free).

Makes you kinda wish for a screw up when this happens.

Jordan, let us know what you think of the UE 11's compared to the SE530's. Also, there needs to be another newbie on this site besides me. So when is Joaquin starting to post? : ) When you were gone I started a thread about which format is best to rip CD's onto; AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless. I must have been the devil. I guess this issue was flogged to death countless times before me. But hey, I learned something. Sorry to all you regulars though.

Hell yeah!

Only one pair doesn't fit very well, and the other pair, well... it fits adequately.

Well done! I am so pleased to read this thread (although i hoped to write it myself someday).

I thought that you would walk away with your UE-11s but I guess not.

I'm definitely waiting until I can get to Irvine CA in person before I order my UE-14s with custom nuclear-etched holographic artwork. It could be a while though.

i actually mailed them, i wanted to see if i could get or buy the UE zippo, i was told that its only for tradeshows and PR, they dont give them out to individual users, shame,

anyways, they did offer me a shirt,
