The trouble with IEM's is generally the affordable receivers are shit, they hiss, they make strange radio interference noise and the built in amp is not great due to having very little power and tiny coupling caps. I tried an LD systems model the other day and couldn't believe someone could sell something so poor in terms of noise .... it was unusable in stereo mode and mono wasn't exactly stella. Likewise the Thoman T Bones units. We do have a couple of Sennheiser units which are very good but they cost a fortune, one was £650 odd.
The above is why I built my own unit, I was an early adapter of IEM's and I kept at it until it sounded amazing, I wasn't willing to listen to any radio interference, amp hiss or shit fidelity.
So unfortunately investing in good ear pieces is only have the battle. You still need a great transmitter and receiver ... and of course to fully enjoy it properly you need a STEREO send ..... I can't stress that enough, having to endure a mono IEM feed is barbaric and an infringement to basic human rights
To begin with just try some Shures and use a hard wired cable, basically 2 (for stereo) jacks or XLR's to a 3.5mm female cable.. then you can see how you will get on with them without spending big bucks. Some of the guys I know just tape such a cable to their guitar cable, it's cheap, it works and it doesn't require batteries
I do the same
He said they are not noisy and only advice was to get a set of custom moulds but I think that's recommended for any IEM
I use the 64 Audio A3's as well, but I know plenty of people who just use the stock Shure SE215's which I think the PSM200 comes with.
