the thing with chifi iems is that they don't offer nearly as much sound isolation as something meant to use on stage
you'd want something like the shure se215 or entymotic er2se. er2's are the better set though imo but only if you're okay with the fit
for live performance iems with focus on good isolation your only real options are shure se215 or entymotics er2se in this price point. the chifi iems won't provide enough or something comparable to the two mentioned, same goes for ie200
er2se are tuned better then se215 but the fit can be polarizing
There are comfortable IEMS. There are good sounding IEMS, and there are IEMS that are noise blocking.
I am sure its impossible to do all three.. but two is possible.
I found one IEM that sounds awesomely flat and blocks the most noise you can imagine using foam tips.. But they are not comfortable as they go super deep into your ear canals. I mean crazy deep. The sound is extremely balanced and studio monitor quality, you could mix with these. They block all sounds from the outside. so much so you can only hear what comes thru your body and skull. But they are not comfortable to wear you can feel the pressure of the expanded foam in your ears. I use these when I am playing drums.
Comfortable IEMS are the Shure SE215 but they don't sound great they sound good enough but dont block too much noise as they claim. Loud noises leak thru.
.
Noise blocking IEM that sounds awesome if you use foam tips included is the **Etymotic Research ER2SE IEM**
[**https://etymotic.com/product/er2se-earphones/**](https://etymotic.com/product/er2se-earphones/) They are usually only $80
These feel like deep foam ear plugs but sound like heaven and block out everything.
If you dont push them in deep you get a bad seal and they don't have enough bass. You know when you get them deep enough as the bass fills in and they sound like heaven.,
I went with the tanchjim fission to mix a livestream. Have been happy so far. $130 USD
The tanchjim Nora are marketed as a set of “professional” IEM to mix with. No personal knowledge there. $110 USD
The tanchjim bunny are said to be much like the fission while only being $20 USD. No personal knowledge there.
I own etymotic er2se and find them too uncomfortable to bounce in and out of, I have to work the live room then get away from stage volume throughout my shows…..
I may or may not have a predilection for single driver dynamic sets! If you need a dac amp for this use, consider a Qudelix 5k. It can be Bluetooth for convenience and also USB for critical listening.
ER2 series is still relevant, either the SE or XR version are good.
I'm interested in getting the ER3XR, to compare the bass with the ER2XR
