Best Budget IEM's 2020 for MUSICIANS (universal fit IN EAR MONITORS)

This video is primarily for musicians and audio engineers looking for inexpensive reference in ear monitors. I chose these three options because they 1) have a full frequency spectrum, 2) have neutral reference sound signatures 3) have a large soundstage for good separation of instruments. While these also sound great as headphones for listening to your favorite music, I chose these specifically for musicians and audio engineers to add to their collection of pro audio reference gear. Here are the IEM's mentioned in this video: (prices are subject to change without notice, for more information and current pricing, see links below)
Remember, if you want to get the most sound out of these in ear monitors, you NEED memory foam ear tips, the included silicone tips won't work for musicians. These all require T500 size tips. Here are the ones I use:

Foam tips aren't necessarily better. Yes, they give better isolation, but if silicone tips give you enough, they're actually more balanced than foam tips. The tubular nature of the foam tip core actually boosts lower frequencies which might be much for some and more desirable for others. Also, in a live setting, it can be useful to have silicone tips that you can very quickly and easily take on and off compared to having to squeeze foam tips every time you want to put them in.

@ironblast5 4 года назад

Got a few things I'll add to the list of recommended iem related gear. The shure aptx hd bluetooth adapter is now only $50 and sounds excellent for iems that use mmcx connection. Unfortunately for two pin connection the only bluetooth I've tried and found so far is the kz aptx hd cable and the trn bt10 aptx wich is more stable with better battery life but doesn't sound as nice. For. Hardwired cable upgrades the linsoul trippowin 8 core and 16 core cables are the best affordable upgrade cables I've tried at around $16 for the 8 core and $20 for the 16 core cable. For iem wireless the xvive is a solid option for mono mix and the audio 2000 system is the best affordable choice for stereo. For eartips for universal fit as a alternative and more durable choice to the memory foam comply tips I recommend the spin fit twin blade tips or any triple flange tips. For custom mold iem's in the Us I recommend Anthem five iem's their dual driver set is $158 shipped and they sound excellent the new quads are $400 wich is abit steep but based on the dual drivers i can imagine for those willing to spend a bit extra they will be a worthy upgrade.

How they sounds

@99_Pixels 3 года назад

I would like to say that sound quality is not about how many driver u can fit into an iem, it is about how well u can tune them. I own a KZ ZS10 pro and Moondrop KXXS. KXXS sells for $180 USD despite it is using only 1DD. Even at this price tag I would still say it is a worth it buy. It outperforms not only KZ but lots of multi BA iem I have tried their demo set at the store. The disadvantage of single dynamic is the treble clarity at the extreme end of the treble how much this matter depends on how u are planning to use the iem.

I'm a bass player myself and is looking to get one pair of these IEMs - I'm contemplating between CCA C12 and those of Tin HiFi. Do you think Tin T4 or Tin T2+ would be suitable for bass players? Some of the reasons of the contemplation are their form factor (minimal) and the cable that comes with them. Thanks in advance!

Gotta give a like just for the cable tie trick. Simple in hindsight but I struggled on not thinking of something so easy to implement. Massively helps reduce cable tangle in pocket too.

I would recommend getting impressions done by an audiologist that specializes with musician in ear monitors. I had a set of impressions done by an audiologist that swore they were the same impressions as used for hearing aids and my first set of monitors turned out terrible. After going to a specialist recommended to me by other musicians in the area, it was a world of difference in how they were made and my next set fit like a glove. Lesson learned.

I know this is an old video, but I stumbled onto it in my search for my first set of IEMs. I'm a guitarist, and for my first set, I'd like to stay below $100...if I end up like IEMS and we're gigging enough, I may upgrade or get customs later. I've seen CCA C12, KZ ZS10 Pro and BASN Master/MMCX as options, along with a few Simgots and Tins. It's all pretty overwhelming, to be honest. The big concern for me is my smallish ears. They're not noteworthy small, just on the smaller side. So fit will be a concern. Anyway, I'm just wondering if you're still testing IEMs and if so, what recommendations you have for a guitarist with smaller ears. Thanks!

You can your own with a pair of iem that you have laying around and a custom molded earplugs kit(mostly silicone molding) that cost around 10-15 $. You'll receive a kit to make your own custom earplugs. Just follow the first steps and when you put the silicone in your ear just put your iem in and wait 10 minutes for the silicone to harden. Than pull out the ear plugs and drill a small hole in the ear plug(remember to remove your in ears first;) for the sound and there's a set of costum iem for 10$ no iem included or 80$ including the cca c16. I've done this today and they fit really good. Pro tip: when you open your mouth your ear canal is bigger. So when you put the silicone in make sure you have your mouth wide open for the 10 minutes. Than the in ears fit just a little better

Reviewing speakers and headphones without frequency curve measurements is meaningless. Thank you for including it and not giving us your personal, subjective perception of the sound. I used to extremely flat frequency response from my monitors and headphones as I digitally corrected them in my studio, but I just purchased ATH E40 and they are good overall however there is some bump at 550 Hz which makes them sound average for me personally. I understand it is done on purpose to bring the vocals in front, but I do not like it at all. Did I purchased the wrong IEM's? Would those KZ have flatter frequency response?

How do the cca c12 compare to the c16? and what about the fit? I've had a pair of cca c10 for a while and they are amazing and all, but as a drummer I have to re insert them between songs, even with the foam tips, maybe I'm using the wrong size tips I don´t know...

Hey, when I look up the KBear in ears it says they are dual driver, and I don’t know much about in ear technology - so 2 questions: 1) which is true and 2) what’s the difference? And bonus question: 3) using in ear monitors as lead singer, what do I really need anyway?

I was looking for an iem for vocalist but also a universal fit, which one do you think its the best?

Seems like Amazon is always out of the ZNARI Earbud Foam Earphone Tips - T500 in Large. Is there an alternative? Thanks!!

I have very smal ear canals and can’t find any that fit well. Sure 215 have that little nozzle and work well. Tin Hifi t3 I bought aren’t fitting great... any siggestions

As someone who has the opposite issue being my ear canals are massive, might I point you to some of my favourite tips and why. They might fit you, give them a try. 1. Dekoni Foams Much better sounding than Complys, felt much better in my ears too. They don't last as long though, mainly not due to their foams, but the bore becoming too loose to latch onto the IEMs, causing them to be left in your ears when you remove them. But other than that, I like them a lot more than Complys. Sound sig: dark neutral. 2. Final E Buying them singularly is pretty expensive, don't do it. Instead, buy the cheapest IEM FAD has, which is the E1000, then pawn off the earphone to someone else and keep the tips. It's much cheaper. Firm but short bore, if you're anything like me, the small ones should be firmly within your ears. They're the best tips I had for my Tin T4 in terms of fit. Sound sig: Dark neutral-er, if that's even possible. 3. Accoustune AET08 Acoustune sells their tips standalone, and they're some of the best tips I've had in terms of fit and sound. The AET08 are the firmer, bassier version than the AET07 which confusingly looks like SpinFits until you hold them both. It works very well with my Tin T4 as well. Acoustune also released a version that fits the Shures tiny bore, so it might help you with earphones like that too. Sound sig: Boosted bass, but otherwise flat. Kinda like a downtuned 3kHz spike on the Harman curve.

I'm still using KZ AS10. Listening music mostly(yeah, kill me). I Tried a lot of headphones. Wouldn't change them for anything else. Instrument seperation, frequency response, comfortable, build quality and audio quality is just superb. Some people just want to hear music as artist intended.

Thank you so much for this video, super informative and you helped me make a purchase on the CCA C12! I'm a professional bass player, but in need of some in-ears for my Twitch streaming, so I can't wait to get these through, currently using my DTX 990 headphones but they are not the most comfortable for performance!

@MrHubyBuby 3 года назад

So? Do you approve the CCA C12? Should I get them?

@bradbonarddelacruz2238 3 года назад

Hello, can you review/recommend BLON 03 and Moondrop Spaceship IEM? They seem to be always the top picks in earbuds ranking in so many channels. I notice that you have pairs of BLON in 2:13

@joshuasangabriel1088 4 года назад

The video im waiting for. Thanks!!!!!!

@Dylmer666 3 года назад

You should check out the CCA CA16, they sound really good

@SchwappSchwopp 2 года назад

As a drummer I use the KZ ZX10 pro and might try the CCA C12 for that purpose, but which IEM's would be the best for mixing and mastering? The TIN HiFi T4 10 mm?

@32NinerBravo Год назад

I’m new to using iem’s and a beginner guitar player and just wanted to confirm I’m wearing these right. I have the iem’s in each ear with the cord coming together at the back of my neck, down the middle of my back inside my shirt and hooked to my xvive U4 on my waist. I’m finding that the guitar strap across my back is pulling on the iem’s cord. Am I doing something wrong or just need to make some adjustments? Love your videos as I’m also a gun owner. 👍🏼🇺🇸

Hi Dan. I’m an electric guitarist in a church in South Australia. I broke my ZST in ears with my face mask 😷!!! How do you rate the KB ear KB10s? Can’t find any good unbiased videos (let alone in English) on RU-vid. 5 drivers in each unit. The frequency chart looks good for mids.

@gilad_paz 3 года назад

Is it a good idea to use such in-ear monitors for studio recordings? In cases where a singer will be listening to instruments or playback while recording voice to a separate track, will the sound from such monitors leak to the singer's microphone? Thanks for a great video

@eli-shulga 2 года назад

oh, I though I narrowed down my search to the Shure 215 and Sennheiser IE40.. Back to the drawing board I guess.. What would you recommend for a club dj? Should be needing more lows or mids? Also what about the vid about budget custom IEM's? Very helpful Thanks

@gilbs72 3 года назад

Noticed that memory foam tips kinda work differently depending on level of body heat. For example, mine gets loose (soft) when I wear them while jogging (maybe same for extended-time on stage).

@zeep6195 3 года назад

I trust your choices because you have good reviews on the IEMs that I bought that others seem to not like (sometimes hate lol). Best IEM for me (so far) is the ZS6, I love how clear and crisp everything sounds (except mids sometimes) specially how the 2 dd handle the bass, really great but not overpowering, just the right punch to it. I also bought Tin T3s because of your positive reviews. Now I'm planning to 'blind buy' the CCA C12s despite the bad reviews others have said about it, lol. Edit: have you tried the KZ ZSA? I was amazed at how good the bass sounds and how good it sounds overall considering its price. comparing to ZST, which has great mids and highs but terrible bass, the ZSAs are a good introductory iem for me. I bought a ZSA a few years ago just to use as an alternate to my ZS6 (I don't have T3 yet at the time) plus the ZSA is really compact and comfortable in the ears. It's like the ZS6's small brother, lol.

The right ear of my CCA C12 died today. I only had them for about 4 months.

@hbrookes 3 года назад

Question for you since you seem to have one of everything. Im an engineer,musician but I dont want for mixing or monitoring. Im just looking for a pair that sound good and not hyped in lows or highs. Kinda like my 300.00 sennheiser phones. I just got the kz zn 10 pro? Not sure of exact numbers and they sound great but slightly hyped in highs and even piercing when cranked up. Thanks, Harlin

Hi GnG, which one is you most recommended? As10 or c12? I play drum and guitar. I love to listen detail in songs like I can listen to each instruments. Or any other recommendation?

@lcheadle Год назад

Anyone find extra small memory foam tips? The small sized T500 tip in the notes is not small enough.
