Heard that they were quite good. Definitely a much better value proposition than the UE11's, I got them before the Livewires got much better known, haha.

You go to the audiologist, and then they make a set of molds from your ears by squirting some goop into your ears. Then you send them to UE for them to use in making your IEM shells. If the shells don't fit well when they get to you, you send them back and they will adjust them for high or low spots (or recast the shell completely). You can keep doing this until you are satisfied, though Canadian shipping is a total PITA.

If you're not happy you can return the set for a refund, of course.
