In-Ear Headphones

This category contains in-ear-headphones. In-ear headphones or in-ear monitors(IEMs) are small headphones with similar portablity to earbuds which are inserted in the ear canal itself. IEMs are higher quality in-ear headphones and are used by audio engineers and musicians as well as audiophiles. Because In-ear headphones engage the ear canal, they can be less prone to falling out and they block out much environmental noise. Lack of environmental noise is an important safety consideration when operating near hazards such as approaching vehicles. Generic or custom fitting ear canal plugs are made from silicone rubber, elastomer, or foam. Custom In-ear headphones use castings of the ear canal to create custom-molded plugs that provide added comfort and noise isolation.
