Bass players, help me select in ear monitors!

[dotsdad]

I am a guitar player called to play bass at my church. I need a good set of in ears to use with the Aviom.

I would love to hear you guys recommendation on good and bad IEMs for bass.

I need good noise blocking. We have a live drum kit on a small stage and I am running through a direct box.

Good bass would be nice obviously but not that cartoonish hone note gip hop bass. You know - enough to hear the kick and my bass.

Please let me know what you guys ha tried...both good and bad!

The best I have used have come from Alien Ears. Not cheap, but they sound amazing. Generally, single driver IEMs don't do well with bass.

I have these regular small headphones. They do the bass job well. Did not try to use them as monitor.

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. It turned out that my old bandleader blessed me with a set of Westones. I dont know which model but they sound great!
