Beyerdynamic DT 30 IE

Beyerdynamic's wired stage in-ear: a compact monitor for musicians who need their own mix, not the drum fill from the wedge next door. In-ears live or die by fit — worn sealed, they put the mix directly at your eardrum at sensible volumes, which is the whole point of the exercise.

It terminates in a standard 3.5 mm jack, so it runs from any belt pack, interface or phone without adapters. Work through the supplied ear tips until the seal is airtight; until it seals, any in-ear sounds thin, and that is fit, not a fault.
