Good IEM

Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 earphones are highly respected, available on Amazon etc., really help a lot. I've had good luck with my Wi digital systems wireless transmitter/receiver and the price is right! Together, both make a killer IEM system for $360. Add a Rolls 351 interface and you have a really versatile setup for about $400 total.

or you can buy a SHURE PSM200 system for the same price...?? lol the only thing is that the ear buds aren't the greatest, however they are interchangeable for something that may suit better. however these buds aren't completely horrible either.

Another vote for the UE TF10's. I got my set off Amazon about a year ago so I didn't have to use the Shure buds at church. Glad I did. The sound quality is night and day over the Shures.

When not being used at church, I have a separate mixer that I've set up for myself, that I can get a great mix from the PA, and add more of whatever is needed.

If you don't need wireless, it's really easy to set up a wired system. All it takes is a spare mixer.
 
I tried the UE10's for one set, my FutureSonic Atrios sounded much better to me. Not to mention that the UE-10's are huge! Felt like I had a big heavy blob sticking out of my head!

Wired is also great if you don't mind the cable. I made a custom bass/in-ears cable using Mogami W3106 cable.

I'm using the same UE + Wi Digital combo. The TripleFi's are awesome for bass. Having multiple drivers makes a big difference. My plan is to eventually have them reshelled for custom fit.
 
the mixer the band has is digital, and has aux outs for everyone's monitors, and can be set individually from our ipad's or phones.

Are you using the Presonus StudioLive?

If so, all you really need is a Rolls PM50 and a set of $150 ear buds. And I am still voting for Future Sonics ( a little less than $150 for them. )

If you don't run wireless, you will need an un-used snake channel for each monitor mix. Then a cable from the snake to your PM50 (or other headphone amp), a small drop cord for AC power to the PM50, an extension cable for your ear buds, a small clip to clip your ear bud cable to your body, and the ear buds. There, did I forget anything?
