"Buy these instead of wasting your money on floor monitors!"
Sound
I use the IE-40s in a variety band. I was reluctant to go from a monitor. Now, I can't imagine using a floor monitor! I've used these with an ipod. I've heard sounds on a recording that I have never heard before!
Features
Do you like listening to studio monitors? With three transducers, there aren't going to be too many better products out there. These are far better than units made by Shure.
Ease of Use
Plug them in and listen! If I have any complaint about using them, I have trouble determining which ear to put them into! They should have color-coded right and left ear.
Quality
They look expensive and sound like studio monitors. They have replacable cords which other brands do not have. The fit could be better. My band is looking into having a hearing aid company fitting each of us to keep them from falling out of our ears. But, I think this would be a problem encountered by any person wearing ear buds.
Value
Worth every penny! Why would you buy a speaker cabinet or monitor, amplifier, eq, etc., when you can get this sound for this price?
Manufacturer Support
No experience with the company. With this kind of product and its quality, I don't think that I will need to for a while.
The Wow Factor
If I ever lost my IE-40s, I would buy them again.
