Anthony Joseph Wiaczek III Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi all hope your all good At the moment Ive been stuck in the house for the past 4 weeks due to an operation on my ear/head. The concequences are that I really need to take care of my hearing now, so Im looking for possible ways of doing this while gigging. I cant go for moulded IEM's because my ear cant take it so Im thinking/hoping of ear defenders with built in speakers, much like Paul Gilbert. I just have no idea what exactly to look for, price and obviously where to get them. Im putting aside a decent budget for a pair (roughly £150-£200) because I hope to gig for many years to come should my health let me once we see what the end of this malarky brings. Any help at all guys? Much love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them have FM radio too so you can listen to that while the rest of the band do Mustang Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Joseph Wiaczek III Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sent an email regarding product compatibility, many thanks. More options would be welcome please guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I cant find a link for the ones I mean, But you have all the noise protection but has a mic built in and speakers to pass on the surrounding sounds at a volume of your choosing and all wireless. Shooting equipment shop will be the place as they use them to talk to each other without lifting the cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
