IEM Path

Finding myself on the IEM path - too much feedback issue with my stage wedge.

Really trying to avoid spending too much, but I know you gotta spend to get any quality in this arena.

I noticed some KBYN buds with 5 drivers for about $60 on Amazon (3 driver for about $30).

Anybody have any experience with these?

I don't need noise canceling (we are 100% FOH), just reasonably clear band mix including bass. The 5 driver indicate a frequency response well below what I need (7hz) and have a full 1 year replacement/refund warranty. Seems too good to be true, but maybe they're just new to the market? Even if they need replacing every couple of years, seems like a bargain compared with even mid range competitors and at that price, it would be easy to justify keeping a spare set in the bag.
