I've had my 215's for around 6 years now with no problems
By the way, how are you getting on with your wired IEM amp product? I might be able to put a couple of orders your way potentially...

They also do interest free on the expensive one.
Highly recommended
It's time consuming to build though so I need to think of a quicker way to build it before I can make any money selling them

The Price will be around £140 .... I'be pretty much finalised the circuit design just need to get a PCB layout done as all versions up to now (including my own) have been built on veroboard
It takes a bit of getting use to though coz at first you feel a bit cut off, but once you get used to it the benefits are huge.
You're no longer at the mercy of dodgy room acoustics but a decent monitor mix is crucial.
The band has all put some money in to get their own own belt packs for the set up.
We started off with a single sennheiser transmitter giving a two way mix.
Then we gradually added to that and now have a five way mix with a behringer xr18 mixer giving individual monitor mix control via phone apps.
We're not loaded we just bought stuff second-hand when it came available.
Trading up the old Allen heath 16ch desk to a new xr18 desk etc.
I'm using some Westone UM20s which are pretty good for the money and our drummer is using shure 215s.

Ideally we'd want one transmitter and each vocalist can buy their own belt pack and earphones etc. Does one have to stick to the same brand / model for them to connect etc?
So, on @Van_Hayden 's recommendation, I looked up Read audio. I figured I could just about justify the £200 for their entry level custom moulds.
A nice guy from Read came TO MY HOUSE to squirt some magic playdough into my ears. I mentioned that I have some ACS custom mould earplugs that I use for conventional backline gigs, but that I found the top end clarity a bit lacking. Read do a 15dB plug that is supposed to really good for that. He then hit me with a January-only offer that kinda threw my plans into disarray. Basically I could step up to the dual-driver model (203) at a big discount, with a pair of the 15dB plugs thrown in for free!
After a lot of deliberation I decided to go ahead with that. I spent about double what I was planning to, but now have a ludicrously high-spec level of ear comfort, for only slightly ludicrous money.
I've only done one gig with the IEMs so far. I was almost hoping to be underwhelmed so I could back out and send them back, but they were pretty awesome. More gigs coming up over the next few weeks, so I'll be able to give them a good trial.

Ha! I was offered the same deal, and also took it up - and was also glad that I did. Read Audio seem to have a great product, and a lot of justified confidence in it, and their enthusiasm is translating to great customer service. Recommended.
If I hadn't been already considering new plugs as well as IEMs, I might have stuck with the £200 units, but as a package it was pretty hard to turn down.
