Building Ultimate Ears Custom In-Ear Monitors Start to Finish

[@rickyvaydr1250]

i just like how the dude showing her around has iems just chillin

[@mikeharper3459]

I straight up love Ultimate Ears as a company!!! Bought my first pair of Ultimate Ears like 15 years ago and was lucky enough to get a pair of customs made (think they were UEM11’s at the time) and they were probably the craziest but best piece of kit I’ve ever bought. Had the chance to go the factory in CA years ago (went to LA just so I could go visit them) to get mine repaired. The folks were so geeked that I’d traveled from Australia to seem them they gave me a tour and let me see how it all happened. Still got the freebie t-shirt they gave me ha ha ha

[@CT37BN]

Hi I'm Jana and I have a lot of ear wax.. that was a funny edit intro ( 3:22 ). Saw her heaps at Audio46 reviewing a number of headphones/IEM's. Really great to see the process on how custom IEM's are made and tuned.

[@ericcindycrowder7482]

I used to have a lot of earwax. One time it got so bad the wax completely blocked the ear canal and I heard zero high frequency for two weeks. Finally went to doctor to remove the wax. It was the most incredible feeling listening to high frequency after being almost deaf for weeks! Now I clean my canals daily with a q-tip

[@samlee2562]

Don't use q tips (!) they just push and compact wax further (yes they remove some surrounding wax) and you can puncture your eardrum if you slip or are jogged, extremely painful and takes months to heal, but mainly don't use q tips because they compact wax ✊ You can dissolve wax whilst washing your hair in the shower or you can use olive oil drops every day for a couple of weeks every year or so. The olive oil will slowly soften up your ear wax until it runs out during sleep or movement.

[@jarekharmening8993]

This was Jana's version of 73 Questions but without the questions.

[@slayyou]

lol this factory vs grado's sweatshop

[@MFHRaptor]

Very nice tour Jana. Informative too.

[@thomthumbe]

Bought my UE's about three years ago. They are GREAT on stage and for casual listening. Not an advert, but I'd do it again in a single heartbeat. On a commercial flight, plane noise, other passengers who love to hear themselves talk for hours on end and screaming brats all disappear. Worth every penny!

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

true easy to drive is very important for mobile users, no matter how good your desktop system at home you wont listen to it

[@sygyzy]

This video was really informative thanks to the UE hosts but really awkward thanks for the person filming (Jana). At first I thought this was a joke but according to the comments and a Google search, she actually has a real job covering audio. I'm perplexed and amazed.

[@SweejitOfficial]

Glad that you're adding more good people in to the mix, Tyll. You guys rock.

[@Mik.B4]

She is cute but after all that she did she said "thank you goodbye" that's it? Ask some questions Jana

[@thomasthegamerz959]

why everyone simping

[@kevinji7285]

Ann is such an amazing audiologist, she is also the one doing my ear impression. She is the doctor at ultimate hearing that work with UE. Her place is at 24251 Avenida De La Carlota, Laguna Hills, CA 92653. You can actually try EVERY UE iems there.

[@OLDIRTYPRIEST]

the process is cool but do they sound good? is it worth my time and money? I see no comments on this in video or chat.

[@Lyricsbyce]

They are incredible especially with the ambient feature. I used to have mics capturing the crowd but with the ambient feature I hear the crowd through my in ears without having to mix the sound of the crowd through the mixer into my in ears

[@hbade]

10:43 drops one of the armatures. Feel bad for whoever get's that one in their set! Jokes aside, I'm sure if it was damaged in any way from the fall, it would be evident in final QC.

[@ahmadaisabry]

I just received my CIEM Pro 5. Man I am listening to speakers not CIEM. wonderful piece of technology . stellar job UE. and I don't feel I am wearing them so so so so comfortable.Although the TV is working I cannot hear anything just the music just the music just the music

[@jimis3167]

Is there something like this, but for overear headphones??

[@youllgetnoinfoaboutmytwitt5689]

That audiologist was such a lovely lady

[@thomasthegamerz959]

i agree

[@nathanh9320]

This is fancy. When I getting my ear impression for my ES60, they just stick a foam in my mouth to bite on and stuff some silicon in my ear canal lol. It's turn put great tho, super comfy.

[@dantealighieri007]

I've seen many reviews of Jana on audio46 and hifi heaven and she actually knows a lot about headphones, hifi equipment, sound signatures, etcetera. Plus all of her reviews were pretty good. But in this tour she seems boring, distant and uninterested, she didn't ask any questions or comment on the process of making the ciems. Maybe she was having a bad day or who knows. Anyway besides from that, it was a pretty good tour.

[@antonhelsgaun]

My guess is that she's shy

[@chamade166]

Had the period?

[@Zetler]

This is really a great vlog. The ear wax cleaning is totally LOL tho. That's serious stuff, these guys are so professional.

[@Patriot_Drone_Services]

I’m really curious about these 100% acrylic C-IEMs. Being a musician and vocalist a lot of jaw movement occurs, every time I had impressions made, I had to bite on a spacer block to place my jaw and hence open the ear canal to allow for a better seal of the IEM and decrease the chance of it moving out of place with jaw movement. Of course the final product had silicone inside the ear and at any place the IEM touched the ear and the acrylic electronics capsule didn’t really touch the inner ear. Having said all that, it would seem the 100% acrylic material inside the ear would cause irritation from the movement of the jaw and inner ear, leading to inflammation that results in pain. I’m curious how the latter is avoided. I’m asking as I have experienced this with two sets of IEMs at $1500 a pop, even though they fit perfectly as long as I kept my mouth closed, after a 4 hour gig my inner ears were irritated as all hell. My silicone inner ear pieces provide a great seal and my inner ears are very happy. Of course about once or twice a year I have to replace the molded tips at $180 a pair, because silicone does breakdown overtime and use. I’m not hatin, I’m just curious. I getting ready to order my new gen 2 Westone C-IEM, 6 armature drivers with internal crossovers per ear. $1900 for the pair. I guess I’ll just send an email to this company and ask...

[@metal-beard]

Did you ask? If yes, what's their POV?

[@alwaysamber4960]

Were they rinsing out the ears in the staff kitchen sink right next to the microwave???

[@SuperSonofsatan]

The amount of earwax in this girl was abnormal. ...

[@AnggaTirtaFL]

Luckily the people in that factory is talkative enough to solve our curiosity for what exactly going on there.

[@yiselllopez3421]

This tour was awesome, I want to go there now. Yloglobal loves it. I want some ultimate ear monitors. Thank you for sharing.

[@balduraan]

Great video, thank you!

[@Geerladenlad]

This is a really cool tour!

[@Wspearman]

Yeah, weird "demo" or "look inside" but to UE's staff props! They were great and professional. I own a pair of UE's $400 earphones and have know about there higher end custom fits for long time and have coveted them very much. Having watched this, though poor showcasing, has made me want a pair even more. It was very cool to watch the stuff they do to make these, gotta start saving some cash I guess :)

[@aeonikus1]

One could wonder about her reviews when she had so much earwax in ear canals. That for sure affects sound of any headphone, over- or in-ear. Do you want cheap upgrade to the sound? Clean your ear canals properly! :) Anyway, UE factory and the host looks and sound professionally, very good use of technology. I'd love to see a tuning process and how all these BA are put together into one IEM. I wonder if they do voicing to personal preferences for total custom IEM (not just look and finish personalization).

[@leckel1996]

I disagree. As long as your ear drum isn’t impacted with wax, your brain is very good at adapting

[@antoinep9733]

These guys seem pretty competent, it's surprising their bluetooth speakers sound so bad?

[@camelazo]

10:41 drop the bass!!!

[@phototristan]

This is part of the reason why I prefer headphones. It's actually just too much to deal with for IEMs.

[@Eddprzz]

phototristan but these are custom iems I use the noble audio k10 with c100 ear tips from spinfit and amazing sound quality

[@psychohitler]

phototristan the fit, comfort, portability and performance of a custom though is definitely worth the trouble tbh compared to a universal iems. I have a few open backs and close backs but none come close to the comfort of a custom, your ears just feel free and are able to breathe

[@phototristan]

Cream Cream Guy It's just personal preference I guess. I've had IEMs before and when I take them out it actually pulls out wax from my ears, and it's just inconvenient and gross.

[@z00h]

All the pain is worth it for the quality of sound you get at the end of the journey, no headphone can match IEM like for like (segment).

[@psychohitler]

phototristan yea that's prolly the only thing I hate about ciems or iems. I need to keep cleaning them and if I don't then they just feel disgusting hahahaha

[@johnyang799]

Too much earwax for high fidelity lol

[@Krmpfpks]

Don't bash on Jana. I would feel disoriented after that whole ear-wax treatment. Probably she was happy it was over. She is definitively smart and know a lot about audio.

[@ANDDIE]

Does anyone know the software they are using at 8:31?

[@ChrisTian-ko8nc]

Hi Andreas, Did you find out? I am after information about what hey do with the editing. I know they trim the impression after the 2nd bent of the ear canal but I am sure there must be something else that they do to make the shell comfortable. Thanks.

thank you k bye she's so adorable

[@bluecherrysakura]

Goodness, see the way she cleans her ears with the provided q-tips. She barely rubbed against the inside of the ears. No wonder she has "too much earwax". Get professional ear cleaning services, my girl.

[@chrisbarbz9238]

She didn't have EXCESSIVE earwax. It's just too much ear wax for them to work with. It's just a necessary step to clean the part where the mold for the IEM will be inserted in the ear canal. And it also made possible for her to show what they do in this case. And lastly, that's the proper way of cleaning your ears. You don't barge the tips in your ears.

[@bluecherrysakura]

+emoclew Barbz there's ear cleaning salons to visit for that

[@bluecherrysakura]

+emoclew Barbz don't people in the Americas have ear cleaning salons? It's a normal service for many Asian countries, not something out of the ordinary

[@bluecherrysakura]

+emoclew Barbz you haven't seen a Japanese ear cleaning service before then. They don't have much funk in the ears. And they don't do no barging of q-tips. The amount of gunk people have let loose in the ears for months possibly years for non-Asian countries is insane. Look at KZbin search for that, ear cleaning.

to clean ears, sticks with cotton is worst and harmful way to do, there are solutions with glicerine and hydrogen peroxide for it and yet vacuuming is still better

Wow Doctors and audiologist and other people who are working in any field are sincere with patients and with their work. This is the reason why developing countries progress day by day. I live in pakistan, i love my country but the people who are even doctor here, audiologist and others aren't sincere with patients and their work. I have hearing problem, so i purchased a hearing aid from an audiologist and he sell me in around 400 $. But he did a fraud with me. I am an employee in a private firm and my monthly pay is around 170 to 180$. I have lost my money which i have earned with hardship and purchase Oticon Spirit Zest. I have nothing to say but not all Muslims, almost every second person is a fraud here. My heart is just broken 😢 Kindly suggest me.
