$38 vs $2000 In-Ear Monitors - Part 1 of 3

Part 1 of a 3 part video where I compare a wide assortment of in-ear monitors. Not only will we look at frequency response, transfer function and phase, I also chat about cable types, connectors and setup so that you can listen to the differences between the various units.

In this video I test Ultimate Ears UE18+, Sennheiser IE4, Shure SE215, and Future Sonics MG6PRO, product links below.

In part 2 - Test the Audix A10, Steath Sonics C9, JH Audio Roxanne and begin testing the L-Acoustics Contour XO in-ear monitors. Part 2: https://youtu.be/tAYWn2WcLes

In part 3 - Test and listen to the L-Acoustics Contour XO, the low frequency EQ controls on the Contour and the Roxanne as well as listen to and compare to a $38 pair of CCAQ C10 in ears. Link to Part 3: https://youtu.be/GLugtH11QQ4
