IEM advice

[redd]

Update:

 

First gig with the cosmic ears IEMs.

Went for the expensive IEMs (close to 1k with the ear mouldings) from cosmic so was expecting a lot and was not disappointed. Logically I should have realized this simple equation a long time ago:

 

The band I play in all use IEMs, guitarist uses a Helix system, Keys player has some stunning Korg Nautilus synths / pianos and stage sounds. We use click tracks and electric drums. Probably north of 12-15k worth of stuff was being channelled into a QSC desk and sent to my rubbish 80 quid IEMs and then I was wondering why I couldn't get a decent sound. 

 

last night, completely different ball game. Clarity was unbelievable. I went with the 6 driver IEMs from Cosmic, mainly because the bass reference was the cleanest for my ears IMHO.

 

I should have done this years ago. It would have saved me money and hearing.
