andy,
i use the shure E5 and ultimate ears 5pro. the E5s have great low end but they're universal fit. the 5pros are custom but lack low end. i should have gone for the ambient feature, but that's neither here nor there. both are dual-driver types. i use both for tracking but not for mixing. they need a very quiet amp to work properly. by quiet i mean a very high S/N and also an amp that doesn't get very loud, as these are extremely sensitive drivers. i have a firepod but it is far too noisy. surprisingly, the furman remote mixer (HRM-16) is quiet enough.
hope this helps.

Hi David,
How would you describe the dynamics? Any different to conventional headphones?
Thanks.

Andy,
sometimes they feel a bit confined, perhaps because the things are in my ears with no air to interact with, but if something is too loud, it's transient hits and my ears and it HURTS! if they don't fit, they may be a bit wonky, but if everything is right, i forget i'm wearing them. i think they may actually have better range than headphones.
i will say this though: some singers tell me that IEMs do weird things to pitch, and so they will sing with one ear out. i know what they're talking about, but it doesn't bother me.

I think that there are some false myths about the NS-10
The NS 10 were used in top productions just to balance the voice vs the music. PERIOD.
All those NS-10 finding a place over SSLs, NEVEs and behind ALL the sacred monsters of the'80s created a false myth. Too many people (me included) thought that those were mixing tools.
Since the mid '90s the Genelec loudspeakers became a standard for many studios thanks to their precision. It's really easy to EQ with them.
During the last 5 years the sonic character of the top 20 music is no more important. It's the panties that matters.
But if you still want to make real music i still suggest the Genelec because they help you a lot.

I'm no Engrish Major, but isn't "false myth" kinda like a double negative, making it a...a...oh now I'm confused again.
