+1 for the IE100. I have the IE100, IE400 and IE500 and they are really comfortable and isolation is really good. They are the most comfortable in ears I have and they sound really really good. I fell in the more drivers might be better trap and if the driver is good, it doesn't matter if it has only one. -

Hahahahahahaha. It is fine. Not the music I love the most, but it is fine. What I really enjoy is playing with the people in the project -

I thought that I could, but I have not tried it. Should I plug the monitor send to the fx return? -

Easy and compact -
Just curious, has anyone of you have tried Vision Ears? It is a brand from Germany that I think they made all custom molded up until now.

About the fit, I forgot to mention that many many in ears are not comfortable for me. I probably have weird ears. And the Plunge are not the most comfortable for me, but they are comfortable. And yes, I agree about the lottery. I have too many in ears that confirm that haha. But I have to say that if I have to recommend one set, the Plunge will be one of the first I would suggest.

Good to hear that they work for you. I have to say that, even though I agree on everything you said, in my case, there are two aspects that I am not 100% with: -They are comfortable, but not extremely comfortable for me. You have to look for proper tips. I find it funny that my "perfect tips" for my Plunge Audios are foam size M. I usually use foam L in all of my in ears. And I could use silicone L with the Plunge as well, but foam, M. The are comfortable and they stay in the ear, but they are not as comfortable as my Sennheiser (for me). -Soundwise, I think they are a little bit bassy. When I use them to listen to music, they are incredible. However, after some gigs with it, I had some issues having "too much bass" in some gigs and losing some mids. Don't get me wrong, I would recommend them. And for the price, they are really really good. I tend to favour Dynamic drivers over BA (even if it is only one Dynamic vs various BA). I'd prefer to play with the Plunge Audio than the Westone X30s, which are also really really good.

Let us know what you think of them once they arrived!

I do not fully understand how you combine the headphones amp and the IEM. Could you explain it? I used to use a Sennheiser XSW, receiving bass in channel A and FOH in channel B and I make the mix. But you are not doing that. -
That is exactly what I do with the Rolls. I also ask the soundguy not to send any bass in my mix, to avoid phase issues.

That Swift wireless system seems interesting. In Thomann however, it has not so good reviews. The thing about dropouts I guess it depends on your gigs. I currently use the Xvive U45 (5.8) and I never had an issue. The rest of my band use the U4 (2.4) running simultaneously 3 U4 and never had an issue either. I must say that with my Line 6 wireless (G10s and G30) I had some dropouts sometimes, but I still use them. I use also the Fender Telepath and I had issues when using it close to the U45. I have also received the Westone X30. They sound incredible. However, the cable is really really annoying. I mean, when you have it in place it is fine, but I do not like it. But the sound is really good. I am comparing it now with the Sennheiser ie400 and ie100 and it is difficult to choose one. I am still making more tests...

The bass goes from the Anagram to the Rolls. The mix from FOH has no bass, to avoid phase issues.

I went really deep into the rabbit hole of in ears. I went from KZ ZST, KZ Castor pro, KZ ZS10, Sennheiser IE100 and IE400, Shure 535, Plunge Audio Dynamic, Soundbrenner Waves (and Westone X30 are on its way) and I went back to Sennheiser. Now I have my IE400 with custom molds and the IE100 as a spare. I am even tempting on trying the IE500, but I read that they are not that good and they are expensive, but the Sennheiser are really really good. I am preparing a full review of all the models I have tried. I am also currently using the Xvive U45 with the Rolls PM351. It is a great combo IMO that allows me to have always control over my bass (sometimes I am very picky and my experience has taught me that it is better to rely on you than in the soundguys, since we do not work with our own soundguy). I previously have the Sennheiser XSW, but this is more straightforward and easy. And I had some dropouts with the XSW and never with the Xvive.

I already shared my goals, but I saw this image and I laughed because it could be me
