# Earbuds Sculpted For You Ultimate Ears UE1 Pro By Bianca | Published 2008-02-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-ears-ue1-pro References: [ultimateears](http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/) Fortunately for most people, the generic ear bud works for them; they can pop in the headphones that come with their [iPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-iphone-17-case), and walk around town, music blaring, no problem. If you're like me, however, listening to music isn't so easy. No matter what type you try, they just won't stay in; my ears are too small, others' might be too big. It is SO frustrating. I was ready to give up and forever rely on the obnoxious wrap-around ear-muff type, but then I discovered Ultimate Ears UE11 Pro, earbuds that are actually crafted by audiologists so that they fit your ears perfectly. Even people who don't have a problem with traditional 'buds might prefer these; they're superior at [blocking out unwanted noise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beoplay-eleven) and the sound quality is incredible. Of course, you'll have to pay for such fine attributes. A set of UE11 Pros costs US$1,150 plus the cost of audiologist fitting. They offer several varieties including the custom series (for [touring musicians and serious audiophiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyerdynamic-iems)), triple.fi series (consumers who want the best), super.fi (emerging musicians and true music lovers) and the metro.fi (for the fashion-conscious commuter.) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Earbuds:** Crafted to fit an individual's ears, personalized earbuds improve both comfort and sound quality. - **Noise Cancelling Earbuds:** Earbuds with superior noise cancelling technology respond to the growing need for uninterrupted, high-quality audio experiences. - **Specialized Earbud Series:** Companies that offer customized earbud series with varying features meet diverse consumer needs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Technology:** Companies that produce personalized, noise cancelling earbuds appeal to consumers and meet increasing demand. - **Audiology / Healthcare:** Audiologists and healthcare professionals can leverage customized earbuds as an innovative form of hearing care and treatment. - **Music and Entertainment:** Music companies that produce specialized earbud series for musicians, music lovers, and commuters appeal to a wide range of music enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Custom Earprint Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ue-drops.md) - [Revolutionary In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionary-inear-monitors.md) - [Personalized High-Fidelity Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denon-perl-true-wireless-earbuds.md) - [Bespoke Wireless Headphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klipsch-t10.md) - [3D-Prinited Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campfire-audio.md) - [Precision Personalized Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-aurvana-ace-3-earbuds.md) - [High-Performance Tuned Monitor Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inear-monitor-earphones.md) - [Customized Noise Control Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-zen-air.md) - [Audiophile-Quality Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fidelio-t1.md)
