It all started back in 1995 when Alex Van Halen told his sound engineer, Jerry Harvey, that the in-ear monitor he was using on-stage wasn't worth the price of one of his drumsticks.

Several months later, Jerry completed the design of something that no one had ever seen or heard of before - a dual speaker, custom fitted, low distortion in-ear monitor that could accurately reproduce a live performance. In terms of sound and comfort, it was the difference between agony and ecstasy.

From industry royalty to rising stars, professional musicians rely on Ultimate Ears for accurate, full-spectrum sound reproduction. After our 8000th ecstatic musician, we decided to use our technology to build an earphone that delivers studio-quality standards to serious music lovers.
