Ultimate Ears Unveils Custom Monitors on the Cheap

May 18 2009, 6:14am CDT | by Shane McGlaun

If you have ever been to a live concert or watched a recorded playback of a live concert, you have probably seen the artist wearing earphones. The earphones that they wear aren't like what you would run out to your local Walmart and buy, they are custom made to fit the artists ears and can cost a ton.

Ultimate Ears has announced a new set of custom ear monitors called the UE 4 Pro that carry an impressively small price tag of $399. The only catch is that if you want to order your own custom ear monitors you have to make an appointment with an audiologist to get molds of your ear canals made.

The molds can then be sent in to Ultimate Ears and turned into your own custom ear monitors for $399. The custom design allows the monitors to reduce ambient noise from 26 to 28 decibels and can be optioned with ambient feature to allow more local sound to filter in. You need to be able to hear the crowd chanting your name right?
