UE 6 Pro SOUND SIGNATURE DEEP DIVE

Choosing a UE sound signature is an exciting first step towards enjoying your music (and protecting your hearing) like never before, but which one is right for you? With a powerful bass response, plus great detail and clarity in the high frequencies, UE 6 excels at delivering a powerful, bass-heavy sound without harshness. And like all UE sound signatures, UE 6 is handcrafted with premium components to deliver next-level sound to music professionals and audiophiles. The UE 6 sound signature is designed primarily for bassists, electronic artists and DJs who need to feel the full power of their performance, as well as music lovers who want to experience the bass in their bones. In this post, we’ll explain what gives UE 6 its powerful sound and guide you towards the fit option that best suits your needs. 

Ultimate Ears has been changing the way people hear and perform music since 1995, and UE 6 is a continuation of that pursuit. Designed to meet the earth-shaking low end demands of modern pop, hip-hop and EDM, UE 6 is one of our newest sound signatures. You might call them a “beat lover’s dream.” This sound signature features a patented hybrid design with a cutting-edge True Tone driver that offers smooth, airy highs and a kickin’ low end that’s perfect for beatmaking or dancing in your living room to modern club hits. 

UE 6 excels at bringing beat-driven music to life. You’ll feel the rhythm like never before with two 6mm neodymium dynamic speakers paired with a True Tune balanced armature and a 3-way crossover network. “Drummers, bass players, DJs—anyone who wants that low end push gravitates towards [UE 6],” says UE Sales Consultant John Talley. With a low end that dives down to 5Hz, you’ll hear full-bodied beats. But that doesn’t mean the UE 6 lacks mid or high frequencies. The frequency response reaches up to 22kHz, far beyond the range of human hearing, but UE 6 shines where the kick drum lives—roughly 100Hz and below. 

UE 6 gives DJs and beat producers the full impact of their music without muddying the mix or causing ear fatigue.The built-in sonic filters smooth out harsh treble frequencies and eliminate low-end rumble, allowing the presence of the music to stay alive. But you don’t have to be a DJ to feel the heat of the beat—UE 6 is great for anyone who listens to classic boom-bap, rap, electronica and everything in between and wants to feel the bass without ending up with muddy sound. 

All UE sound signatures are designed to block up to -26dB of ambient noise. When you’re in the studio or listening at home, you can focus on what’s important—your music. All UE earphones and IEMs block noise using passive noise isolation, which is preferred over active noise cancellation, or ANC by audiophiles and musicians alike. What’s the difference between passive noise isolation and ANC? Passive noise isolation blocks sound naturally, whereas ANC is known to cause ear fatigue and distorted sound quality. Worried about feeling too isolated on stage? UE PRO models have an ambient port option that allows ambiance to reach your eardrum through a -12dB filter. When the ports are closed, you’ll experience the full -26dB of noise isolation.

UE 6 gives DJs and performers an enhanced low-end for the studio and the stage. And while UE earned its reputation onstage, even casual listeners can enjoy the immersive sound while working out, studying or hanging out at home. There are two cable styles available for UE 6—SuperBax and Bluetooth. The SuperBax Cable is the wired cable that’s built for performers who need a durable connection for the stage. Use the IPX Bluetooth Cable when you’re listening to music at home or on the go. Both cables are rated sweatproof and deliver the highest quality audio.
