In 1995, Ultimate Ears created the world’s first custom-fitted two-way in-ear monitor and paved the way for a legacy of groundbreaking designs, including the flagship UE Live model. While our legacy is on the stage, an entire new generation of musicians have discovered that Ultimate Ears delivers exceptional performance whether you’re creating in the studio, live streaming your performances, or just listening to your favorite music. We’re excited to celebrate 25 amazing years of innovation by giving 2 lucky winners our flagship in-ear monitors—and we’re just getting started.


The Ultimate Ears journey began in the back of a Van Halen tour bus in 1995. Over the last 25 years, our relentless pursuit of innovation and craftsmanship has led us to the world’s biggest stages as the monitor-of-choice for legendary artists like Coldplay, Sir Paul McCartney, Sam Smith — and thousands of other musicians worldwide.


In 2005, we brought our audio engineering expertise to consumers by creating the first mobile speaker line with 360° sound, which now includes the Wonderboom™ 2, Blast & Megablast, and Boom 3 & Megaboom 3.


We also launched the UE CSX earphone line, which allows music fans to use our groundbreaking at-home Fitkit to create custom-designed premium earphones that are precisely handcrafted to the shape of their ears.


Whether it’s delivering precise in-ear-monitoring for performers, or loud and bass heavy sound for fans, we strive to deliver the cleanest, truest representation of the music you love. Our team of passionate designers and engineers continually innovate to push the physics of sound and form to new limits.
