I just received my UERM yesterday, completing my Changstar-approved GO450 > UHA-6s.mkII > UERM setup.

I had been somewhat afraid that they would be bass-light based on other reviews, but they are absolutely bass-right. Everything is nicely extended and detailed, the treble isn't too hot and the bass hits hard when it should and doesn't when it shouldn't. In particular, I've noticed that guitars sound correct when they distort with tons of dirty texture. I foresee my SE535 and possibly Westone W30 going up for sale on that other place in short order.

I'm testing an universal UERM versus my custom Vision Ears VE6 and HD800 at the moment.

The uerm is really good. Imo it doesn't have the details and imaging of the HD800 but overall I think it comes quite close.

VE6 is more on the warmer side with a little bit more (and deeper) bass and a little peak at 4-6 kHz. I think that's the reason why I can listen at higher volumes with the UERM. I'm not a very high volume listener overall but with ve6 I have to listen to rather low volumes. But it is very pleasant on low volumes and also very detailed.

Maybe if I wouldn't have ciem already uerm would be on top of my list.

UERM and Pono Player are not a good match.

Is it possible to get a UERM in any other color/design other than the black UE and Capital records logo ones?  That seems to be the only option on their site.

Yeah I saw that, so if anyone here has got them recently what has been your experience?  Just wanted to hear from people here before I contact them directly.

edit: just called them, they can still do custom, but apparently not through their website like on the other models, and there is an extra $100 charge (which seems to be normal for custom work, when you choose the designer or special material options on other models the price increases).  But you can do any jpg you want.

So anyone here have a similar experience on recent UERM purchases?

I received mine a week ago, but just ordered them straight off the site and didn't do any customization. I can't see them when I'm using them, so I don't really care what they look like. The only change I would have possibly made is to remove the Capitol Records logo.

They're probably close to caught up now, but when I ordered, they were on a backlog from NAMM, so the order took longer than the 5-7 days quoted on their website, but nowhere near the 25 days they original told me when they confirmed receipt of my molds.

For my first CIEMs, the experience was excellent. They fit perfectly and sound exactly as good as advertised.

Ordered my UERM at a meet, but wanted them customized so that was all done through email. Process was very simple. Really no need to worry as long as you know what you want. Here are mine.

Just a quick update. After much misplaced time and effort due to multiple lines of miscommunication (including the loss/destruction of the new set on this thread), I was able to do some testing of newly produced demos versus my originals with UE's approval to rule out product variation or possible batch changes from vendors. The most likely culprit would seem to lie in the acoustic environment if I had to guess. UE has agreed to start again with a new set to further our investigations.

To be continued...

What exactly is the issue with the new demos? Are there problems with them? Problems with new custom units? I can't find any details on what's up with your latest round of UERM issues.
