    My experience going to custom IEMs

    Great advice, thanks. It's great to be able to read a clear description of the sound qualities of the different driver combinations. Sounds like the quads would be the ideal choice for a bass player. I don't suppose you have any knowledge about the 'ambient' option that manufacturers like...
