A just-announced set of earbuds from Ultimate Ears boasts "instant custom fit" for customers with all ear shapes and sizes. Using light-activated gel to mold to your ears and then harden into a customized fit, UE Fits will arrive this fall in the US for $249.

UE said Thursday that Fits will offer eight hours of battery life on a single charge. Additional charging from the case adds another 12 hours of use. The company also noted that "premium single dynamic 10mm drivers [will] provide a sound signature that is full, warm and detailed with deep, tight and punchy bass."

The earbuds will come in three colors -- gray, lilac and navy -- and are sweat-resistant with an IPX3 rating. UE Fits are available now for preorder.
