Tell me when you hit brain
Getting fitted for custom-molded earphones (or earplugs) seems like a big hassle, but the process is actually painless and quick. If you're ready to bite the bullet and invest in a pair of customs, the first step should be contacting the manufacturer of the earphones (in this case LiveWires) and getting a referral for an audiologist in your area. Going through the manufacturer will usually get you the best deal on the cost of the impressions (around $30, typically).

John Diles from EarPeace Technologies stopped by CNET to take impressions of my ears. The impressions were used to create a custom pair of LiveWires dual-driver earphones.
