Experience with "in ear" monitors Last viewed: 7 seconds ago

Posts: 1041 Threads: 64

I am looking at purchasing some in ear "monitors" which will mostly be used to put the metronome click from my Tama Rhythm Watch into my ears at a volume that I can hear it while at rehearsals/practicing, etc..

Have you guys have any suggestions on reasonably priced versions? Most that I have seen are big $$$$.

Or, being that I will just be using them for a metronome click, would just regular earbuds be a better option?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

You can start with generic buds. Not iPhone type.

I have proper moulded ones for touring but they are expensive and require your ear having moulds done which is horrible.

I guess you've moved on from the idea of having a set of headphones.

Westone is a great brand, they have everything from beginner basic in ears to custom stuff, I use them every week! Look for at least a dual driver so that the sound is fuller.
