Ultimate Ears haven’t done things by halves here. With the Ultimate Ears 18+ Pro, the music lover can look forward to premier in-ear headphones tailored by audiologists. In addition to the numerous plate and case personalisation options, they guarantee everyday and stage-compatible production values, effortless handling and, last but by no means least, a well-balanced sound experience. In addition, these in-ears are ultra-light, comfortable to wear and provide a huge amount of isolation against external noise. Therefore, not only do they make superb stage monitors, but they also serve recording and mixing sessions well. More simply, they can be utilised by any self-respecting audiophile looking to enjoy their music on the go. Most likely, classical music fans will find a new favourite pair of in-ears with these.

As high as the recommended retail price of approximately 1,785 euros might seem, reviewing the huge benefits of these in-ear headphones quickly shows how much the Ultimate Ears 18+ Pro has to offer. What’s more, as soon as you listen to the tonal abilities of these in-ears, the price-performance ratio suddenly seems very reasonable indeed. If you have the budget enough to stretch and want quality headphones with superior sound, you should not overlook the Ultimate Ears 18+ Pro.

The HL4410 headphones proved impressive in our test, and it is not without reason that they are the top model in the in-ear series of this German manufacturer. Everything that the buyers of “smaller” Hörluchs models appreciate in terms of sound is taken to extremes and perfected by the HL4410. From sub-bass to presence and elevation details, to punch and excellent stereo image including depth of sound, these in-ears offer everything that lovers of high-quality headphone sounds could wish for. In addition, the headphones come with a luxurious package of accessories, which, with its interchangeable filters, even provides extra hygiene for the in-ears and enhances the purity of the sound. Last but not least, the fit and wearing comfort of these headphones is excellent, and in practice, fine details such as the tension alleviating cable guide leave nothing to be desired.

Even if one would wish for a lower selling price as a prospective customer, I have to say when looking at the competition that the value for money of the Hörluchs HL4410 in terms of its performance is absolutely fine. Whether you want them to use as detailed hi-fi in-ears or as headphones for high-quality stage monitoring, the HL4410 is a tool for demanding ears.
