Best Real-World In-Ear Monitors (IEMs)
I bought mine more than 15 years ago from B&H and they are still going strong. Super-small, super-lightweight, terrific and accurate sound quality. Anyone who finds the sound lacking is not putting them far enough into their ears.

more is more when relying on reviews
primarily for IEM with band, ipod sometimes , checked headfi and lots of reviews in advance. on first use not a positive feeling , holllow and not in line with expectations.however change from default silicon sleeve to foam ( all supplied) and things greatly improve.i think they would benifit from portable amp for ipod and custom ear seats ( not inc) , very uncoloured , nothing added to make it sound better but neutral is what im after as the artist intended and not as the EQ department imagine.
