Mine charged me $25, he's done Etymotic custom-fit molds, but I think, not full-ons. I've had a few remolds done, and I suspect he lets me slide on the cost due to his own initial inexperience (he's gotten better with every subsequent visit), or maybe he just likes my personality. So... find a local audiologist, and make friends with him/her.

I really love the UE4.  I keep considering getting them as a second pair.  I was without my UERM for a bit and hated it...
 
Note: for UE4, you can only get clear shells (and discounts are no longer available for these due to the low cost).   
 
At $400? Totally worth it, IMO.   :)p1

this post kind of makes me wish I had given these a chance... if only they came in a universal model of similar performance. :(
looks very nice, though a tad worried if there is sibilance here, but difficult to know how sensitive everyone else is to it.

Has to be asked since they're same price point from the same company. UE4 vs UE900?

I haven't heard the UE 900. The UE 900 does have more moar drivers tho. Even if they sound similar, I think the question is do you want or need the premium service the customs come with?

Great, now my interest is piqued. I've been religiously avoiding getting new gear, too :P

Just curious, how long have these been out? If it has been out for quite some time now, can anyone explain why these aren't "one of the best IEMs for under $500"?

They have been out a long time, I believe.  If it doesn't have the "most drivers" and isn't the "most expensive", how can it be good?  :)p15


Also, I figure UE doesn't push them much because there isn't much profit.  (But it's a good way to show off UE service and products if someone takes this as their first step into customs.)
