How much do in‑ear headphones cost?
Affordable in‑ear headphones for musicians in specialist stores cost about €50. High‑end professional products with multiple drivers and, for example, 4‑way systems cost around €1,300.
Which manufacturers make in‑ear headphones?
Well‑known manufacturers of in‑ear headphones include Sennheiser, Shure, Mackie, InEar and Fischer Amps.
Why choose in‑ear headphones?
Headband headphones are large and heavy. Some press on the head, others are uncomfortable or you sweat because of the ear pads. In‑ear headphones are lightweight and portable and offer a remarkably punchy sound! Even without active noise cancelling (ANC) technology they provide good isolation from outside noise. As wireless models with Bluetooth, in‑ear headphones offer high wearing comfort and are easy to store.
What to watch for when buying in‑ear headphones?
Most in‑ear headphones come with standard foam pads for the ears. Some manufacturers include interchangeable pads in different sizes. Some models also have adjustable silicone tips. Above all, a comfortable fit is important. In‑ear headphones isolate from outside noise to varying degrees — you can decide based on your personal preference. Wireless models should have the longest possible battery life. After all, remember to charge the AirPods, Buds and the like sufficiently before use.
Which in‑ear headphones are the best?
Ultimately the intended use decides the ideal headphone. For a lot of movement on stage or in the rehearsal room, in‑ears with a secure fit in the ear are important. If a sound picture with sufficient bass reproduction is important, choose a multi‑way system. If you don't want to keep checking the battery level of your wireless headphones, cabled solutions are preferable. The same applies if you want maximum freedom of movement — then radio systems and Bluetooth devices are recommended.
In‑ear solutions for musicians
The high demands of musicians often lead to individual high‑end solutions. Some in‑ear manufacturers work with hearing‑aid specialists. An impression of both ear canals is taken. Soft but firm silicone is used to make the tips. These ear moulds are unique and cost several hundred euros.
What does true wireless mean?
Simple wireless headphones have no cable connection to the source device, but the two earpieces are connected by a cable. The state‑of‑the‑art true wireless earphones come completely without cables. Being cable‑free means true wireless headphones are battery‑powered and can only be used with a Bluetooth connection. So the source device, for example a smartphone, must also have Bluetooth. Today that's standard on most devices. Some true wireless headphones even offer a variety of functions to control smartphones. With an integrated microphone you can make calls, for example.
