Looks like mine were 3D made.  I was wondering why when I ordered them, the shell color was very, very limited - now answered. The end product is very polished.  Looks like UE has their 3D processes and QC in order. Can't say the same for Aurisonics, though.

The ever soooo popular sparrow (and most prolific poster on this site) has got to say, yet again, that the UERM is an ABSOLUTELY fantastic 'phone — without a shadow of a doubt, this is one purchase I will never regret. Even though the UERM has not been around that long, I really do feel this already is a legendary ear/headphone.

...the only other 'phone that still edges out the UERM, to these sparrow's ears, is the LAB I (have had the latter for 11 months and my views have not changed — they remain the best ear/headphone I've heard to date, followed closely by the UERM...and then the HD800).

My new pair (old pair stolen) landed yesterday, 24hour rush from impressions on file. My last pair needed some adjustments (not a big deal when I was in Irvine) and was a good but not great seal. This pair using their new process is a great seal and perfect - no mods needed. Clearly that means my impressions on file were good / accurate and the process did a good job of translation.

Glad to have them back :-)

What does LAB stand for? I don't get relevant results when Googling LAB IEM.

Sent my UERM in after RMAF for a paid repair/cleaning. I asked them to fix the cable being loose and to clean them. In early December I got them back and they were great for 2 days, then the right side failed and wouldn't make a sound with either of my cables. I sent them back (with a UE paid return label), and they kept them for another month. I started wondering where they were so I sent them a mail asking. I got an email showing an invoice with the same repairs as were done before, with no cost due to being under warranty. Then they were shipped a couple days later and I finally got them today nearly 3 months after I originally sent them in.

This is how they looked before I sent them in:



Here is how they look now after they were returned the second time (first time they were fine):

Damn dude...That hella sucks...

Thankfully UE customer service has been great so far. I'm sure they would sort it out for you...

Those bubbles would annoy the hell out of me.
