New Soundz technology
Soundz Hybrid Fit™
Custom fit. Universal comfort.
A shell made in the shape of your ear, with a soft silicone tip at the end. The stability of custom, the ease of universal, in one in-ear.
Custom in-ears fit perfectly, but take getting used to. Universals go in instantly, but don't always stay put. Hybrid Fit keeps both.
At a glance
What is Soundz Hybrid Fit?
Soundz Hybrid Fit is a new fit technology for in-ear monitors that combines two worlds: a custom shell, made from impressions of your ears, and a soft universal silicone tip at the end that goes into the ear canal. The shell gives the stability and precision of a custom in-ear. The tip gives the comfort and easy insertion of a universal.

Custom shell
Shaped by your own ear.
The body of the earpiece is made from your ear impression. It fills the concha like a custom in-ear, so it stays in place when you move, sing or play.
- Stability. No constant readjusting.
- One of a kind. No two pairs are the same.
Universal tip
Soft where it matters.
At the end, where the earpiece enters the ear canal, a silicone tip does the work. It adapts gently, seals in the sound and gives the familiar feel of a universal earphone.
- Comfort. Soft contact inside the ear, for hours of use.
- Hygiene. Comes off for cleaning and is replaced when worn.
Fit
Disappears into your ear.
A low profile, a stable anchor in the concha and a soft seal in the canal. You forget you're wearing it, but not how it sounds.
Ease
In within seconds.
Full customs need a twist and a little practice. With Hybrid Fit the tip guides the earpiece into place: put it in, press gently, done. Ideal if in-ears are new to you.
- No break-in period. Comfortable from the first use.
- Fast on stage. In and out between sets.

FAQ
Everything you want to know.
How is it different from a full custom in-ear?
In a full custom the whole earpiece, including the part that goes into the canal, is a hard shell. In Hybrid Fit the shell follows your ear, while a soft silicone tip goes into the canal. You keep the stability of custom and gain the ease and comfort of universal.
How is it different from a universal in-ear?
A universal has the same shape for everyone and is held in the ear only by its tip. Hybrid Fit has the same soft tip, but the body of the earpiece is shaped by your own ear, so it rests in the concha and does not move.
Do I need ear impressions?
Yes. The shell is made from your impression, like every custom Soundz. One of our partner hearing centres takes it.
Is it right for me if I've never worn in-ears?
It may be the best place to start. Putting it in feels like a universal earphone, so no practice is needed.
How do I clean it?
Take off the tip, rinse it in lukewarm water and let it dry. Wipe the shell with a soft cloth. Replace the tip when it wears out.
