The in-ear headphones They offer advantages over other proposals on the market. One of the main ones is its passive noise cancellation capabilities. The problem is that by their own design they are not usually the most comfortable for a good number of users. Ultimate Ears is convinced that it can change all that with its UE Fits, headphones that "melt" in your ear to better adapt.
In-ear headphones that "melt"
The technological world is full of headphone options all types. Not only are they available at different prices and with different technologies, but also with the most varied designs and some particular characteristics that seek to stand out from their direct competition. For example, in recent months we have seen proposals that even bet on automatic disinfection systems thanks to the use of ultraviolet lights in the case where they are stored.
However, until now we had not seen (or we do not remember) any headset that had the ability to conform to any type of ear. And we don't say that by doing things like changing the pads of those that are in-ear type so that they better grip the ear of each user, but by directly molding them when you put them on.
This is what Ultimate Ears proposes with its recent U.E. Fits and it must be admitted that at least they are very curious for that ability to "melt" inside your ear. But let's take a good look at how this new system with which they seek that improved adaptability works.
UE Fits, how its molding system works
The UE Fits are initially in-ear headphones more, although their design is already beginning to attract attention as soon as you look at them for the first time. To some extent, they are somewhat reminiscent of those silicone earphones that some people with hearing problems use and that are almost custom-made to adapt to the shape of the user's ear.
The big difference is that these UE Fits can be adapted as many times as you want. For this they have a system of LEDs that make the material of the earphone itself, the pad that you insert into your ear, be capable of deform until the fit to your ear is perfect. And all this in less than a minute.
This is accomplished through the UE smartphone app. When you put the headphones on, the LEDs activate and the gel material in the cushion begins to harden, making the headphones a better fit inside the ear. Something that, by the way, would offer a better sound experience by also preventing the entry of noise from outside without subjecting the user to that pressure inside the ear that could be uncomfortable during long periods of use.
Without a doubt, it is a very striking proposal and taking into account the quality of the manufacturer in terms of sound, it could be very interesting for all those who have not yet been able to find headphones of this type that are comfortable for them.
The "problem" is that they are an option with a somewhat high price if then they are not able to offer this much more comfortable experience that they promise. The UE Fits cost 249 euros and for the moment they will only be available in the United States. But we will be attentive to the first analyzes to see to what extent they are indeed what they promise to be.
