Hi Folks
...as it implies, am looking for quality "in ear monitors" here in the
UK.....just the earpieces! Am told that the Westone UM2 is excellent,
but what else competes with these?

The vast majority of ear pieces out there use the same Knowles elements
inside them. Your job is to find the most skilled guy doing ear molds
and use whatever he recommends. The hard part is making the mold, which
is still as much art as science.
