In-ears are awesome. For some reason I can't get used to tracking with headphones on, it just limits my movements and feels restrictive in some way. However, my custom in-ears are so comfortable that I almost forget I'm wearing them, I love it.
You have to check different types of in-ears. Some offer slight isolation (usually cheaper ones) and others isolate a lot of sound. Just check the spec sheets on some different ones
Hey Joe! I am dying to find this answer and have been searching everywhere, with no luck. I am a drummer, I enjoy recording, it is a great hobby. To listen to tracks/metronome, I use the Vic Firth SIH1 Headphones, which according to Sweetwater's website "Reduces outside noise by up to 24dB." How well do your in ears cancel noise? I would like to find another solution which cancels just as much noise if possible for studio and live playing other than HPs. Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!
My Vic Firth headphones work great for cancelling noise as it is, I just was curious for how well they cancel noise in situations such as live, because I have sensitive ears, and like hearing muffled drums. Also, the Vic Firth headphones would make me look like Mickey Mouse on stage.... Lol.
I'll offer some feedback. Try some good earbuds like for an Ipod, then cover them with your Vic Firth headphones or a set of hearing protectors. You can get hearing protectors from a home supply store or even a gun shop. I think you may be happy with the results.
Surprised nobody has brought up Joe's mixup on the Sennheiser model. Looks like he has a pair of HD280's. The HD650's don't seal ANY sound in or out - not good for tracking. On the other hand, the 650's are awesome listening/mixing/mastering style headphones - SOOOO natural sounding. Don't worry Joe, I know what you meant!
God blessed us with you brother. You have a video for every single question I have about getting better! Cheers! more Blessings your way

Great suggestion for automating the click to trail off at the end. I haven't tried that, but it should work great!
Check out 1964 Ears. Soon to be ordering my own pair of V3s for studio and stage use. Incredible quality/price ratio.

can this shure IEM used for monitor music production?
1:25 "Cause they're JACKED UP in your ears, there's much less BLEED!"
😂Why you make this sound so painful!!! LOL
If there's involved, people who share in-ear monitors will have to watch out for catching Hepatitis C-Sharp!
happened to me before when I recorded a guitarist....had to use izotope RX2 to basically remove the click...worked perfect...RX!!

I use in ears for tracking alot cx
Be careful with click tracks through headphones. They can lead to premature deafness.
Details....?
