Would the UE18pro be worth the extra over the UE11 or UE10 (In fact I'm still not sure between UE11 and UE10 since the reviews are quiet, um, fragmented in opinions)? I know value is a subjective thing, but a rough idea would be nice before blowing a fair chunk of money on customs.

I'm hoping whatever I end up with will be the last upgrade I'll ever need IEM wise.

I asked them regarding the new custom cable:
is the new UE18 custom cable available separately for order?

reply from UE:
As of now, no but it could become our standard in the future.

just talked to a ue rep and they said these are gonna begin shipping in 2/3 weeks

It's confirmed. No extra orders of spare cables. I asked if they'll ship an extra cable with my 18s and UE said no.

Of course. What do you expect with a cheap IEM like that??

The UE fixing is recessed into the driver shell providing a more water resistant and stronger connection. Given the sound quality of either will be astonishing this is the principal factor for me.

I also wish they'd given more attention to the connectors. Even UE's could be better: look at what Sleek Audio has done with its CT6:

Double.

That's weird they told me it was going to start building the past week and now next week… Right now I'm not sure if they'll ship on time or not.

An integrated cable, so you need to buy a new set.

Anyone noticed the UE18 page is down? And when I click on a sister product page such as the UE11, the index on the left listing all of the UE products has the UE18 missing. The first part I could've chalked up to just web error, but the latter seems deliberate?

Most definitely getting it prepped for the UE20. They weren't happy with JH, so they want to one (or two) up them.

Right, just got my ear impression done.

Now time to decide which UE custom to go for...

i was about to say the jh13, but then i remembered you got the really good dael on the ue's, so id say the only one you can go for is the 18, maybe not as neutral, from what we've heard, as the 13's, but still the best UE iem, per jude, they finally caught up technically speaking to the 13's.

Its just I'm unsure about the 18 atm as there aren't that many impressions whereas the 11 and 10 are, more or less, proven designs.

If my memory serves me right you loved the IE8, right? Then I'd go UE11.

 

[nsx_23]

Yes, I did indeed love the IE8.

Wow this thread is quiet…

Anyways, I called them a few minutes ago because I got really antsy [nor very happy that it's been a month].

The sales guys told it mine are built and ready to shipped out! Should be getting them tomorrow because I ordered overnight with Saturday delivery!

I'm just really excited for my first set of custom IEMs.
