I personally use and recommend a Boss DB-90 Dr.Beat Metronome. I prefer dedicated hardware metronomes than any app I've ever used. As far as headphones go, a set of shure Shure SE215 (that are rather inexpensive) will make a night & day difference. Just be sure to get a random assortment of of earpads/tips to go with them. I personally like the yellow foam tips, but to each their own.
I use Shure se215 buds. They’re relatively affordable, and if you take the time to play around with the different tip sizes, you can find a good fit and get solid isolation.
I use the SE215’s similarly. I still bring over ear Bose on long flights for comfort, but I put in the Se215’s when I want to sleep because they’re more isolating and I can move my head to more positions without disturbing them.
Yeah I am actually looking to replace my SE215 which are dying. They are my current sports IEMs.
But I've read that shure aren't that good nowadays cause you can get much better quality for the same price.
The earphones and tips need to be priority one. My guess is even if you plug them directly into the board without the wireless, you will experience bass frequency loss. This could be the drivers in the earphones, but it could also be the seal of the tips of the earphones.
Obviously the best way to get a good seal is to get custom impressions and molds made. Sensaphonics will make them for basic headsets like the Shure SE215. They will also make a totally custom driver set for you that is compatible with whatever wireless receiver/transmitter you use.
For solutions that don't involve going to an audiologist, I like the Shure SE215 with comply professional series foam tips, when it comes to playing bass live. .
Make sure you are really pinching the foam and letting it expand in your ear canal, inserting it properly. It should feel a little snug.
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
