Fractal Fanatic
That's way over what we've paid Ade...
The biggest cost was an Allen & Heath Qu-16 (£1,699) digital mixer so that we could set up individual, stereo mixes - killer desk though and has so many features which we fully utilise. All instruments are direct to desk, with triggered drums and no backline whatsoever (piccy here).
Beyond that, just a Presonus HP60 headphone distribution unit (£250), four Fischer Amps Mini Bodypacks (£40 each and somewhere to plug the buds into with a volume control) and I custom made a combined guitar cable and stereo in-ear feeds so we each have one cable - and that's it 8) I know you guys prefer wireless though, so that does change the picture...
The buds are an individual taste and price, but I kid you not, I have a £20 pair of buds which work astonishingly well in this full set up. I am getting a pair of Aurisonic ASG-2 because people assure me that there really is more to be had from the buds... and if they do indeed sound better than what I've got, then it's going to be ridiculous!!!
I would suggest that you try to find a cheap way to hook up a few sets of headphones / buds and give it a try first - it might not be for you. For us, we just cobbled together any old stuff we had to hand and it was an instant win. In fact, we wondered why the hell we waited so long and would never go back!
