Alien Ears IEM's - Update

[baseline9]

Well its been a while but I finally ordered some Alien Ears CE3's with the detectable chord and engraved case.

Following the order I quickly received an E-mail with my "Interactive Invoice" and instructions
on what to do next.

Couple of weeks went by and I received my impression Kit, by which time the guitarist out of the band decided he was going to purchase he CE2's with the "Ambient Vent Feature" which I believe is a port into the headphones to increase or decrease outside noise, very snazzy! So we decided to do the impressions at the same time and save some money on postage.

At this point let me warn you if your deciding to get Alien Ears, dont bother with the free impression kit unless you feel confident in doing it, we made a right dogs dinner, soon used up all the material and it ended up in the bin! Oh and it costs $15 + $50 delivery for a new kit!
Not to be deterred I found a local audiologist who did the impressions for us, its cost us £35 each and they were perfect! So I would recommend going down this route and factoring the cost into your budget (Something I did not and I got a bit a grief from the missuses!)

We sent the impressions back to the US and it cost £3.80 through the post office. I also put low a value on of £1 to avoid tax.

That was a couple of weeks ago and checking the database on the website Alien Ears have now got the impressions and they have been accepted, the check does not provide an update of the actual manufacture stage.

Looking forward to trying them out and I'll post another update on the performance

Just wanted to share my experiences with everyone and hope it helps. I had no idea how this was going to pan out and after spending over £300 I was quite anxious.

Many thanks.
