If you want the best in ear headphones check out shure. I have had the E4c for a few years now and have not found anything better in terms of quality and sound quality, including the bose IE and even the bose quiet comfort. NOw I think they call what I have the SE4 or something on shures site, basically a newer upgraded version of what I have.

the se500/530's are my favorite from shure. not really a fan of the pth module, but the earphones themselves are great. unfortunately, last i checked, they were also shure's most expensive offering for iem's.

Xtrememac FS1; 9/10, but expensive ($150 retail, though you can find them on Ebay for almost half).
Shure E2C; Overrated, no bass, and uncomfortable for extended use.
Currently I have V-Moda Vibe (designed for the iPhone). Comfortable, excellent bass reproduction, excellent quality materials. I do believe they make a non-iPhone version as well.

my experience with the vibes have been that they are very bass-oriented. unfortunately, the materials/construction is not the best...but who knows, maybe they've improved since i last tried them.

much better is subjective. ultimate ears and shure cater to the same market as far as universal fit iem's go. in this respect, i much prefer shure's offerings over those from ultimate ears. it would not be a fair comparison between custom and universal fit, as those are two different markets.
