The origins of Ultimate Ears by Logitech date back to 1995, when Jerry Harvey and Alex Van Halen laid the foundations for the company. The company is based in Irvine (USA). From the very beginning, Ultimate Ears specialized in in-ear headphones, which were primarily intended for musicians on stage. With the growth of stages and the increasing staging of concerts, it became more and more difficult for musicians to hear their own sound properly. Especially nowadays, when streaming is the main source of income for musicians and sales of CDs and LPs are declining, it is important for musicians to be able to present their music live in the best possible way.
Ultimate Ears' goal was to offer musicians something to help them hear sound clearly and defined anywhere on stage. However, UE's wide range of products cannot be generalized, as every musician has different listening habits and sound preferences.
The UE6 with its 2 dynamic bass drivers offers rich bass that sounds just as good live as the bass volume at a concert. This means that the bass is more of an accompaniment when it is less present in the music, but sounds wonderful in the sound image and offers the musician a full and rich bass volume when there is a lot of bass. This is particularly important for drummers and bassists.
The UE7 with a bass, midrange and tweeter is quite balanced and is also ideal for vocals and guitar. Alternatively, the UE RR (Reference) can be selected if the bass component is too strong and someone prefers a more linear sound.
The UE11 offers a powerful bass that is present even when the sound is not bass-heavy. The round and voluminous bass is a great pleasure for both drummers and bassists.
The UE18 with its 6 speakers offers a wide sound image and detailed reproduction. It is suitable for musicians who do not rely on a full bass.
The UE Live is the ultimate with 8 drivers and plenty of room in the sound. For those who find the UE18 too weak, the Live offers maximum feel and detail.
The UE Premier is in a class of its own and is aimed at audiophile music lovers, music lovers with high-quality music systems at home or owners of high-res devices. Listening to music becomes an impressive experience.
