What kind of ears are you using?

I've seen you sing the praises of the in-ears you're using for the NIN gig, and I was wondering what they are. I've had to use ears for two of the larger gigs I have, and I think they suck my ass in a really not sexy way. I've tried Shure E5's and Ultimate Ears as well, and just don't dig them.

Westone. Don't know the model, but they are great.

I did a lot of demos at NAMM at the Westone booth with Chris Cardone and I can attest that they are great!!!

I had never used in ears before but the sound was fat and clean with V-drums and all amp sims running straight to the board.

Hard to believe it's the exact same Westone that made cheap guitars in the 80's. All of a sudden they're kings of IEM's. Good for them...I actually liked their cheap guitars.

When I use in ears, (it's rarely) I use the Ultimate Ears dual driver in ears. They sound pretty good. I also use them at the gym with my Ipod.

they are awesome - the in ears and the guitars. But I don't think it's the same compnay.
The westone guitars were made in japan by a company that started out making sewing machines. The westone that makes in ears is a US company has pretty much alway been manufactiring ear molds/hearing protection. They are high end and cost more than some others, but they're really worth it (the in ears, I mean)

Ultimate Ears is now hitting the Ipod market hard. They just started advertising their earbuds for Ipods on the Stern show.
