Heh. I'm surprised you like how they sound, but that's all that I will say. As long as YOU like them, that's all that matters.

Not sure which version you tried but the 6 driver ones have good clarity and a good seal in my ears so I get decent bass response. Of course, what I have to compare them to are cheap Linsoul KZ IEMs which sound like crap and hurt my ears after 5 min of use and my Westone UM Pro 30 IEMs. The Wavs were a huge improvement over KZ and UM Pro 30.
There was a bit of humorous exaggeration in my statement.
There are tons of options that are a fraction of the cost of an FM9...
I've gone the expensive custom in ear route, and then also the low/mid/high end universal route. I would recommend universal over custom every time. My $170 set of universals sound way better than the $1500 customs. The tuning in the custom IEM market leaves a LOT to be desired.
Check frequency response before you buy!
I have similar but the 535 and 846. Never really had an issue. Also do own monitoring from Allen and Heath app so I can EQ and compress etc to my requirements.
That is exactly how we do it (even using XAir-18
) using a split snake. Although we use the monitor set up for practice also and there is hardly ever anything that needs any adjustment since it is the same monitor mix we use all the time.
Hi Domct203,
I think I got the 5 driver set. I remember trying to pick the "top of the line" one, which is probably the 6-driver one, but the owner said he didn't recommend it and that the 5 driver one actually sounded better. In the end, my Westone UM30 Pro and UM50 Pro sound MUCH better to me. I have other friends that also got the Wavs and were disappointed as well. I keep them around as backups and use them for podcast interviews and such.
In my experience, this is true 99% of the time when you're the only band playing a 3-hour set, or even one of 2 bands playing 90 minute sets.
I concur, if it’s a multi band showcase type thing we don’t bring the IEM rig.
First thing I think would be worth checking out would be what the board is feeding you, whether or not you’re getting a flat signal or not.
That's a GREAT point. The old cover band I was in had a sound engineer we often worked with who went in and applied some curve with a bunch of sharp cuts that was supposed to help with clarity and separation for IEMs, but I much prefer to have a flat signal to get a good-sounding mix because it's more fun to play when it sounds good. I don't want to JUST hear myself and drums/click.
That’s one of the biggest things I look for when I’m on in ears playing a gig/service, or if I’m doing sound for a band. I ask if my mix is flat, and ask for my guitar with zero processing. Sometimes people need to mangle a sound at FOH which doesn’t work good for the ears, or they mangle it because they don’t know what they’re doing, so I usually request my guitar to be flat.
