What is the best pair of IEM (In-Ear Monitors) to use with Roland V Drums?

[Roger]

This topic may have been brought up before, but I'm looking for a good pair of IEM's that is noise resistant. In other words I would like to purchase a pair that all I hear is what is coming through the IEM..........no outside noise!!..........Thanks!!!!...................Roge r

I used this to help me find my IEMs: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mult...09-04-14-p-966

Good luck, use your browser search function "Isolation (5/5)"

Can't say what the best is for you personally, but if you wanted no external distractions no-matter-what, you could use any pair of IEMs and just wear some basic ear defenders over the top of them lol.

There is no best... only the best ... for you! Shure, Westone, and a few more

Everyone has a different idea of what the "best" sound is. No point arguing there.

Go with what your budget can afford. If you can try them ahead of purchase, then even better! Then you can find the ones with the best balance of low, mids and high frequencies... for you!

The "best" noise isolating would be customized ear pieces that would fit the IEM model you will choose. That's costly, but gives you the best noise isolating features and comfort.

If that's out of reach, budget-wise, I found out that using "Comply" ear pieces (or the equivalent) is very close to the "best" in term of isolation and comfort. They are the same thing as using memory foam ear plugs, so they are very comfortable, adapt to your ear shapes to cut outside noise and cost a lot less than custom molded ones.

Whatever yo get..get custom old for best isolation and something with at least 3 drivers and and proper built-in crossover for the the best low end response. (there are some models wit up to 8 drivers for each ear...i.e Alien Ears

Just curious ... if you don't want to hear any outside noise why not consider traditional headphones that block out noise while providing a better sound quality at the same time? I'm not being critical of your choice, just wondering what's the appeal of IEM so I can better understand their advantages.

Less bulky, no sweaty ears, much lighter, no squeezing feelings on the head... Lots of advantages.

Hello One Watt, I've been using headphones for over a decade!! I want something that is much lighter and have the same sound quality as a very good set of headphones and also have the sound isolating qualities as headphones.

Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions/comments/opinions on IEM's. I'm checking out all IEM reviews!!
