Is there a reason the UERR almost never goes on sale? Ultimate Ears has a sale right now for almost all their IEMs, except their entry-level models and the UERR.

That's the reason why when someone in my local community sold it for $400, I immediately bought it.

hey boys, is there any difference sonically between the models with the 2 pin connector and the ipx cable?

my set sounds the same with IPX connectors as it did when it was a 2 pin IEM.
I had the sockets upgraded after the right side socket crumbled

A12t or UERR?

A12t or UERR?

Those are two very different sound signatures. U-shaped vs very neutral/reference. Also, quite a big difference in price. What kind of sound tuning are you looking for?

Neutral/reference but with enough resolution to identify and mix as many as 6 vocals+instruments+SFX tracks on location when studio monitors and headphones aren't accessible.

That would be the exact purpose of the UERR, so that’s what I would recommend for that application. Another option would be the Etymotic ER4SR, but since that only has a single BA, for more complex mixes, I would favor the UERR. A CIEM would probably make the most sense for that application, but just in case you happen to be interested in a UIEM version of the UERR, they do sell it on Drop from time to time, for approx. $800.

While the A12t is an amazing all-purpose IEM, it‘s not neutral, and wouldn’t be ideal for mixing/mastering.

Hopefully there will be others that chime in as well.

Thank you.

For comparison.

 

[Facta]

Wow. Absolutely flat like slap. Wish I could find more impressions shared by people who used UERR in their mixing job.

Anybody tried 64Audio A4t?
Both UERR and A4t at $850 sale now.
Wonder how they compare...

I think the A4t is quite a bit more colored sounding (non-neutral) than even the A12t. I’m sure it sounds good, fun, and exciting, but would definitely not be a reliable reference IEM for mixing. Graphs definitely don’t tell you everything about the sound of an IEM, but they’re still very helpful.

Well said. Thank you.
